Introvert vs extrovert isn't always as straightforward as it seems. Many people feel pressure to be outgoing, network constantly, and always be social, leading them to believe they are extroverts when, in reality, they may be introverts who are adapting to external expectations. In this clip, Susan Cain talks about what it truly means to be an introvert or extrovert, how societal norms shape our behavior, and why being an introvert doesn't mean you're shy or less capable. The episode dives deep into the assumption that everyone should aspire to be outgoing, helping you better understand whether you are an extrovert, or have you simply learned to act like one?
