Introversion — along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness, and shyness — is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology. Introverts living under the Extrovert Ideal are like women living in a man’s world, discounted because it goes to the core of who they are. Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality trait, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.
A resonant quote, for someone naturally introverted and constantly fighting the urge to hide in a cave 
What do you think? Do we live in an extrovert world? And more importantly, does it prevent certain people from being themselves, and therefore, happy?

Extra & introversion are nowadays treated as an inalienable part of a single and continuous dimension of personality rather than two distinctly differing traits. Perhaps, the majority of people would like themselves to be described as an ambivert, relishing intensely personal moments in a lonely environment yet comfortable with aggressive social exposure.
