Do we live in an extrovert's world?
What kind of world do you think we live in and how do you cope according to your intro or extrovertness?
Answer:
Extroverts make up between 60 to 70 percent of society and introverts account for 20 to 30 percent, according to Dr. Ed Diener from the University of Illinois.
It appears we do live in an extrovert's world.
I however, am an introvert.
We live in a world full of NIKE CRAP!
I am 70 percent extrovert...what about you.
Though nobody really says it directly, it seems like you have to be an extrovert to get ahead in many ways. Introverts are encouraged to come out of their shells, whereas extroverts are rarely told to hold themselves back. I consider myself an introvert, but in order to succeed in work, I have to try to fake being more outgoing and friendly because that's generally more accepted and smiled upon.
The answer depends on what country you live in. America is most definitely an extrovert's world. As one answerer pointed out, about 70-75% of Americans are extroverts, and introverts are usually not well understood nor well-accepted. In order to get ahead in America, an introvert almost HAS to learn to adapt, to pretend to have more extroverted characteristics than he/she may really have. I'm an introvert, and this is what I've had to do.
Now, in the Eastern Asian countries, for example, introversion is much more highly valued, and the percentage of introverts seems to be higher. So over there, you'd be living in an introvert's world.
