Introversion / Extroversion

Culture supports extroversion; outgoing jokester, life of the party character bringing sunshine to the lives of those around them. Make an entrance. Take over the room to show prowess and authority. Fill the entire space with yourself. Walk tall. Sell, sell, sell. Be outgoing. Make lots of money. Sparkle and shine.

Introvert is quiet, philosophical and sagely. Rarely noticed while standing against wall, waiting for the party to be over. Longing for home and time alone. Doesn’t care to serve economy, but rather an inner, or higher, calling. Where is respect and support for being wise to the inner, spiritual world? Why is spiritual or emotional IQ not valued like mental IQ? Are not all necessary? Culture doesn’t fit introvert… Just doesn’t fit.
