Finding out that I was an #otrovert was a revelation to me. Reading this book was even more revelatory (new word?).
This explains to me pretty much the whole story of my life, including why I see things the way do, why I can't understand why others sometimes can't see what seems obvious to me, and how I react /feel in various social settings.
It also enabled me to see why I made the life choices (career, family, spiritual) I did. It is pretty much spot on for every stage of my life! It would have been great if I had read this 60 years sooner!! 🤣
If you want to know what makes me (or any other otrovert) tick, read it! Here in Ao/NZ it's available as an ebook through the public library.
Also useful if you work with, live with, or want to spot an otrovert in the wild!

There's a new personality type called the 'otrovert' and one major trait sets it apart

I read a post from someone on LinkedIn yesterday, who had read "The Gift of Not Belonging" and boiled down the gist of being an #otrovert into a social media post.

And what bugged me was the number of people who jumped on it to say "that's totally me!".

I get that a lot of people want to find a way to fit into the world, and to find their 'tribe', but if you think that's a bunch of otroverts, you're barking up the wrong tree!

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.

I read an interview w/ the psychiatrist Rami Kaminski about his theory of Otherness and a third type beside Extroverts and Introverts: the Otroverts. → https://taz.de/Psychiater-entdeckt-dritten-Persoenlichkeits-Typ-neben-introvertiert-und-extrovertiert/!6121550/

And #AuDHD comes to my mind.

The listed traits of Otroverts sound very familiar → https://www.othernessinstitute.com/traits-of-otherness/

I did their test and scored w/ 206 of 280 as an #Otrovert .

Who knew, I thought I'm just a regular AuDHD person.

Oft ist in der Psychologie von Introvertierten und Extrovertierten die Rede. Psychiater Rami Kaminski will einen dritten Typus identifiziert haben.

You have 268/280 points.
You are an #Otrovert.

Explains a lot to me and I'm happy to have more "desease" on my personal "how crazy am I"-list.

Passt nicht ganz, denn ich kann enorm eifersüchtig sein – würde ich sagen, aber das ist Vergangenheit. Hoffe ich. Getestet hab ich's noch nicht. Kam bisher nicht dazu. Jedenfalls eine interessante Theorie, über die sich diskutieren lässt.

I have just finished reading The Gift of Non-Belonging, and I am definitely an #otrovert

And while the book does a good job of explaining what that is, and what it means to be an otrovert - indeed, how wonderful it is that we exist and what more communal people can learn from us - I didn’t find it massively helpful on the topic of how to thrive as an otrovert in a world built by and for communal people.
