This book is about people like me—probably the first time a psychologist has identified my 'type' of person. It should be a fascinating read for anyone.

TIL about #otroverts and thank my lucky stars.

Throughout our lives, our social conditioning reinforces the one immutable cultural principle in our society: that group membership is a prerequisite for a rich and rewarding life. And while this is true for many people, it is not true for otroverts.

We put so much stock in communality that a different stance is understood as pathology. Otroverts are perceived as weird and wrong for preferring solitude over socialising, and subjected to peer pressure from well-meaning people who genuinely desire their companionship or who would hate for them to “miss out” on all the fun. What these people fail to realise is that for otroverts, there is great freedom and fulfilment in sitting on the sidelines.
