Of course it often seems as if some degree of extroversion is required in daily life. How else can our president, for example, build a repertoire with his country and cabinet to get elected? Keeping this former part of this post in mind, I would like to clarify that my question posed is seeking if it is ok to be introverted or have non-mainstream traits in situations where it is not required to be completely extroverted, chatty, perfectly social, etc. If this makes sense. The whole idea behind this OP is that I have gone through some mini-traumas with previous friend groups and overly-sensitive people so I am beginning to question if there is even any benefit to socialization or persistent efforts at genuine relating at all outside of situations necessitating extroversion, such as work and so forth.
