@jaklumen @Tdorey @actualham @Dan_Blick @fgraver @Autumm I feel we don't talk nearly enough about introversion in networks. I'm the same. My head fills up and I stop thinking. @mahabali has thought about this a bit too.

So I'm really interested in what makes a network hospitable to both introverts and extroverts by design?

I was thinking about this.
A. What makes any space hospitable for both intro/extroverts?
B. I assume it is not a binary of course but asking ppl at both extremes to share their good/bad experiences and aspirations might be an interesting research project to pursue.
C. I think Autumm was interested in this topic awhile ago.
D. Is introversion a stable preference or contextual one? (and extroversion?)

@mahabali @Tdorey @katebowles @actualham @fgraver @Autumm @jaklumen I love this question. I hope to come back to this with a thoughtful response soon. I'm very interested in this topic.

@Dan_Blick @mahabali @Tdorey @katebowles @actualham @Autumm @jaklumen These are interesting questions. I'm an introvert, fairly shy, and quite familiar with "impostor syndrome". I've learned to live with all these things, but they combine to make me avoid social gatherings with people I don't know well.

Online is different. I can jump in here in a way I would never dream of irl.

@fgraver @Dan_Blick @mahabali @Tdorey @katebowles @actualham @Autumm @jaklumen I find it interesting that sometimes people feel more comfortable online than irl, that those who are more introverted irl might be more extroverted online. I have this tendency myself, and really grabbed onto some open online spaces like a course called #etmooc (where I met @fgraver & @Patlockley) b/c I was able to communicate so much more deeply online than I would ever do w/strangers in person. Why might that be?

@clhendricksbc @Tdorey @katebowles @mahabali @actualham @fgraver @Autumm @Patlockley @jaklumen I have found this to be true in myself and some others and I don't have a great idea why (beyond @Patlockley's cheeky/probably correct explanation, anyway). Part of it is surely (for me) my great comfort with expressing myself intentionally and completely, in writing, when I've had sufficient processing/revision/time to do so. As an aside, I've moved from 140 chars to 500 and may yet blog (again). :)

@Dan_Blick @Tdorey @katebowles @mahabali @actualham @fgraver @Autumm @clhendricksbc @jaklumen people think i am a bit ferocious online and i put that down to vernaculars i grew up in and now i suspect like txtspk and emoji we've got new ones. There is also much more.scope to be silent online and not be rude

@Patlockley @Tdorey @katebowles @actualham @Dan_Blick @fgraver @Autumm @clhendricksbc @jaklumen i am pretty scared of u online, Pat, as I feel if i say anything that is not 100% thought out i may get strongly critiqued. This is not because you are really scary, it is probably on me. And i do not think u ever did anything to me...but i feel like i don't understand most of what ur saying and why because I lack context rather than because it is ferocious. Dunno if that makes sense

@Dan_Blick @mahabali @Tdorey @katebowles @actualham @fgraver @Autumm @clhendricksbc @Patlockley @jaklumen Having met Pat in person I can vouch that he is as far from scary as you can get (sorry for blowing your cover).

I like that online the mirrors of our selves can have all kinds of curvatures of distortion. We say identity like its a fixed quantity. A student once described for her it was an iris (as in opening) that we change its dimensions in different contexts.

@cogdog @Dan_Blick @mahabali @Tdorey @actualham @fgraver @Autumm @clhendricksbc @Patlockley @jaklumen I find I'm not usually surprised by meeting people offline, beyond "oh, taller than I thought you'd be", or the reverse. I like learning the sound of someone's accent, the pitch of their voice.

@Patlockley @fgraver @Tdorey @katebowles @mahabali @cogdog @actualham @Dan_Blick @Autumm @clhendricksbc @jaklumen @mdvfunes just suggested an 'I'm listening' button... might reduce the @ mentions (although it is nice to be mentioned, it's cumbersome & always has possibility of leaving some out unintentionally)
