Im a twin and my brother is extroverted and Im an introverted. I was bullied alittle when I was a kid and that made me switch to my brothers image since we look alike. So when people talk to him. They would think Im just like him and not bully me so I kept it that way for along time. Now out of high school and Im finally safe with my self and introversion (: I always thought there was something wrong with me or Im not doing it right like my twin extroverted brother cause I could never do the things he could like talk to people without exhaustion or just fit in with society. Im happy with myself now. But anyways. the point is, is it because due to a siblings or twin that makes us introverted? Like say if we have someone whose extroverted, will that make us introverted? I dont think so: / cause our parents are extroverted? So no?

It's nice and all that you give a perspective from a spicological point. But no taking in consideration the soul, which is the most important variant when it comes to why do people use they're brain the way they do and what kind of habilities they have or how they develop they're grey matter. The authenticity comes from the soul, the source of all creativity and the reason why people is just flat our different. We are not supposed to work all the same, and we are not supposed to ever understand humans by only understanding the body, or the physical aspect for that matter. No real progress is created until humanity starts to take in consideration all those parts they've forgotten or alienated because of society.

I was somewhat stuck between extrovert and introvert. Some said I was pretty shy and reserved in grade 7, some said I was pretty outgoing. My mom herself is an extrovert, but my dad was an introvert. But as I grow older, I've learned many things through trauma, betrayal, bully, being the last one picked and social rejection that led me to social anxiety. Now I'm like 70% introvert while still trying to maintain the other 30% to remain social. I'm good in my own company. I love solitude. I don't fit well with the idea of relationship as I find it exhausting, let alone date an extrovert who seems to like the idea of hanging out every single day.

I think it's both for me, because naturally I don't talk to people. But then again, growing up my mom always discouraged having friends. And the only places I go are school and my house because they never let me go anywhere, she also never let me make my own real decisions. So they most likely helped with the introvert part. Along with giving me major anxiety, depression, Indecisive, and a sense of worthlessness. Dammit mom. At least my aunt is trying to help, she brought me to a restaurant, and I almost cried multiple times, Also I had her decide everything for me. Well it's a start.

It's due to evolution.
Humans have came so far only due to Understanding nature and formulating it. Basically Science.
Why do Introverts have all the talents needed for being good at Science and Humanities? That's because Introverts created science.
But in past, being powerful and securing food was more priority, so very handful of people have characteristics of introverts. If they are grown in safe and pampered environment, they would tend to be an introvert.
TLDR, Extroverts are needed to run the society, Introverts are needed to run the Humanity.

First up this video didn't help anybody, they didn't even answer their own question and some guy did a test and said ''it is what it is'' and were all like ''ya, He's smart, Makes sence''.
and what about all the other tests, Some test say they can tell the difference between introverts and extroverts with babies (introverts would cry at the slightest stimulus while extroverts would ) and many more. Many people could swear they were extroverts when they were younger but then fliped and became introverts at some point. So what do you have to say about this?

Where I live everybody is bold and extroverted. My definition of an extrovert is somebody who is self confident, uninhibited, assertive and popular. It's very hard for any introvert living here. Introverts tend to like deep and meaningful conversation, which sadly extroverts do not. In other words, you may well be a highly intelligent introvert but the vast majority will avoid you because they're not articulate enough to understand where you're coming from (or maybe it's just pure ignorance)

Would trade problem solving for ability to make friends any day.
Mostly because my inability to form meaningful relationships and helpful connections is my biggest problem.
Ngl, absolutely hate myself for being introverted. I see extroverts benefiting greatly from knowing many people and not being afraid of asking for favors and joining all sorts of things. Meanwhile, any skills I do have seem kind of pointless because nobody knows me and therefor doesnt need me.

I am an introverted because my mother cut my confidence of speaking out loud. She doesnt like me when i talk. When we eat meals, we dont really talk. If i ask her about things, or experiences, she doesnt share and just wanted me to shut up! Unlike my grandma. My grandma is the best. Through her i feel what its like to have a cool mom. I am proud i have a good grandma. But my mom shes different. She makes me feel so ashamed.

Perception is reactionary while reality is sequential. Building off preconceived notions dictates intuition which then molds reality. If we had to continuously redetermine our environment we would not be able to survive. So how we intuitively evaluate people is how we decide if we should socialize. It is not a determination of more or less to say but merely if there is value in saying it.

I was apparently talkative happy child but totally now humble introvert and enjoy it that way I believed main is cause is my mother who punished or belittle me of my interest, if I disagreed with her which sadly still happening. Of course Im now expressing myself more and accepting who I am and what I like but my mother is mislabeling as anti social and this isnt the real me. It hurts

I love to be an introvert, but I don't like it when it's preventing me from doing what I wanna do. Like having a social exposure and enjoying a wide crowd. For once, I want to be surrounded by people without draining my energy. Argh! Is there anything I could do to be like extrovert without losing myself? I need to learn to socialize for my future.

I was a very quiet child and barely spoke. However, as I got older, especially with topics I was very interested in, I was a more talkative and lacked social skills. Still very introverted. I was also bullied so that caused me to express myself differently. I was also less creative. But as Im getting older, Im trying to reconnect with myself.

I disagree with this theory. There is another factor with nature vs nurture that is ignored completely. The physical and external environments. Nature/Nurture are never in a vacuum and should never be explained without considering all the factors which makes up the environment. But, to dismiss it all together is completely off.

I love this video.
A great book by Steven Pinker, the Blank Slate, seems to me to have settled the debate not long ago.
Why more people don't site the book more often I'll never know. well actually he explains peoples' aversion to belief in the nature side of nature/nurture.
Must read.

I have memories of being more talkative when I was a little kid, but I guess the reason why I'm in introvert is because at somepoint I became friends with two shy girls at my school, I felt better and happy when with them because we had more things in common, it's was just more. fun, for us

Im an introvert or at least I consider myself as one, but I keep going to parties and stuff because I keep trying to fit in and because my therapist says I have to overcome my social anxiety, sadly, that interferes with my introversion, since I hate being around people and I get super anxious

So by nature a tiger is a predator and is biologically wired to hunt and kill. If I raise the tiger from a baby cub to be nice and friendly to humans will it not be a predator anymore? What do you guys think? Can you tame a wild animal by good nurture or will it tear you a new ass?

I hate when we can classify out psychic that makes me more depressed and not important, you know, everything i feel are chemicals. While these videos inform me about world they make me more depressed because i am starting to see that all this is just an illusion created by brain.

Its funny bc Im doing a health class in credit recovery and I just learned about this today. hereditary and your environment both play big equal roles in you being an introvert or an extrovert. So that old guy is big wrong. What chemicals in the brain is he talking about?

I myself am an introvert, so I don't have much to comment. But thank you to everyone who watched and supported this video. Next video on Sunday! Stay tune to see what it might be about. Each week we aim to talk on a topic that's relevant to the psychology community.

I used to be talkative.
Until I took an arrow to the knee.
Just kidding.
I had a lot of time to self reflect my childhood and I realized that whenever I try to be funny or talk about my feelings, it always causes problems and then the rest is history.

I remember when I was about 6-9 i was goofy and had fun but for some reason when my brother showed up or we would hang out with common friends I was quite when he would be around. I guess bc he didnt want me to be the mascot in our friends.

My speech impediment may have played a role with my early introvert behavior but going through my current spiritual growth I appreciate my solitude. There are times when I don't feel like talking just listening and absorbing.
