Didgee, I could've written your post myself. Before being laid off, I had been trying to force myself to be an extrovert, and not very well, since the reason I was laid off was because they didn't like my introversion in the position, and even though I had done nothing wrong, they wanted to move me out of that position...but there was nowhere to put me, because of my introversion.

Yep. I was let go for being introverted. It's in the paperwork for my unemployment - the UE office stated "personality change is not a reasonable request" or something to that effect, but I live in an at-will state, so my employer has the right to do what they did (wow). After that, something snapped and all of the extrovert fronts I had tried to build up my entire life since very young childhood came crashing down, and indeed, my mental health has deeply suffered for it. Social anxiety has manifested since then. Pretty crazy.
