Do you think more people of today are actually more introverted than they were 20 or 30 years ago? I feel like many people today are more comfortable being alone or not being very social even if they do have to show that at times. Maybe the advancement of technology also contributes to this?
What do you guys think?
As we all know our world is changing way too fast.
And with anything that we do there's always two sides
God devil
Positive negative
Yes no
Hello goodbye
Right wrong
Love hate
Wax on wax off
Wait wait no not that one LOL

Introvert extrovert
But it seems like the world is split with any of the above somewhere close to a centerline depending on what it might be
It seems like with each generation there's a change or a shift of the balance of who we are becoming sometimes not all good.
Introverts her a lot more internal people
I believe even some older extroverts are becoming introverted
I think a lot of people are seeing our world change right in front of us to more of a crazier evil side so people are staying in more because they feel that shift.
But no matter what people are doing one day we are all going to be forced to become extroverts.
Because of all the freedoms we are about to lose.
I believe that it will be the introverts. That start taking the lead of a new world.
A new direction that scientists are finally acknowledging what introverts is known for a long time
I believe our world is about to change directions like we've never seen before.
Things are going to start coming out in today's world
With things that we should have known a long long time ago
Sorry like always I get caught up into the question on the way that I see it and forget about the question LOL.
Because with every question there's a deeper greater meaning to it
Yeah
People are getting more introverted , as we spend all of our time online trying to connect with each other than in real life.
That's why more people are feeling isolated, have fewer close friends, and experiencing more social anxiety, which suggests introversion is on the rise.
There should be discussion on this too.
Oh heck yea man!!! The advancement of technology for sure contributed to the downgrade of our social skills. I do think more people are introverted than extroverted.
I noticed though the older generations are usually extroverted and haven't lost it. While maybe the millennials and the gen zs are more introverted than extroverted. I don't have research backing that up but I'm just speculating.
I feel like gen z and alpha will be worse off than Millennials though. We didn't really have cell phones up to a certain point. Like I remember being in elementary school and hearing about someone in my neighborhood getting a flip phone and they were the only ones.
I remember that was huge news lol. I basically didn't have a cell phone until I was in highschool. The later Gen zs and alphas will have cell phones integrated into their lives. They won't know what life was like before they became popular and so prominent in our lives.
Having social media and instant gratification at their finger tips will have negative results with mental health and social skills
neither honestly, i think most people are socially awkward, have no clue how to hold conversations in person. with the rise of the internet people have gotten worse where people are expendable with no feelings from ghosting to bullying. people have gotten very impersonal and socially stupid with one another

No question. It's human nature to find you "tribe" so to speak. For some people that's harder than others. And some people are just downright unpleasant to be around. The rise of the internet has allowed people to create a false persona and live out a completely fabricated life one that if things go south for whatever reason. They can demolish it, just create a new name and start again. The problem with this is they seldom ever forge anything real or lasting. It's like gaming. Gaming is fine. Unless all you do is pile up achievements in an imaginary world and none IRL. You never grow as a human being and you miss out on life.
I've actually read articles about the future of the Metaverse. That it will grow to a point where some will live a majority of thier life in it. (Think of tinges of the movie "Gamer" or the movie "siurrogates"). That not only will people find thier entertainment and social interaction but will actually work in the Metaverse. Some of these articles walked the line of saying we might become a species of two worlds essentially the real and the metaverse.
Most people think that the world is mostly extroverted, but there are far more introverts than people realize because while extroverts are screaming ‘I am here, look at me, look at me’, introverts are too busy doing their own thing to care so they don’t promote themselves that much and can sometimes fade into the background even though really they are no less there than extroverts are.
Also some introverts and extroverts assume everyone is extroverted when really they are not. Most people are neither pure introvert nor pure extrovert but somewhere in between so it can be hard to tell, even amongst your friends.
No, I do not.
However, it has become the norm to socialize online - it's more convenient. It's easier to connect online, opposed to having to schedule time to get together - in a often hectic schedule.
It takes 2 minutes to turn on your PC, your phone & connect with people - it takes longer and more effort to get together.
In Denmark - we do a lot of research about technology and the effect it has on people. Children are experiencing FOMO, or fear behind left behind if they're not following the newest trends - spending time with their heads down the phone instead of together. This is becoming the norm.
COVID and the restrictions have shown how important socializing is for us humans - even us introverts.
There is a difference between introversion and atomization. The current elites erode community for the sake of consumerism and global capital. Clear them out!
This is true for those with money most interactions are done on the phone and there is no reason to leave the house just order everything. I was at Starbucks and felt like I was at Disney land and forgot I had to pick up order because of Uber eats.
I talked to you about my writing dating profiles for guys on this site. They are afraid to post them, because they might end up with a naked girl sleeping next to them at night. Holy sheep shit! Run for the hills. LMAO. What a fucking waste of time. Girls posted my profiles, and guys were afraid to. So I'm guessing they were introverted.
No. There's just less opportunity to be social. Most people are working longer hours to afford smaller homes and less recreational money. Roads get bigger and sidewalks smaller. Nobody has time or energy left to visit, or maybe even call, so it's down to texting. I hate this environment.
Hahah this is funny. I don't think you can say that. Introversion-extraversion is not measured by cultural evolution. Personality is a social construction but it doesn't work like that.
On the other hand, you could say that the culture has evolved in a way that makes people SHYER.
I think people are becoming more introverted to the detriment of their mental health and society.
I think they are just buzzwords that people are fixated on these days
I think the internet is full of extroverted people saying that they're interverts because they think it's cool
It might be growing somewhat. But don’t get too deep into this one or the other bs. We’re both. Intro or extro really just means “how do you charge your batteries”?
100 % zero doubt.
I think those words are over used
Probably
