Really nice piece--It’s clear to me that you and I are very different (I’m pretty extroverted and, as my wife would say, overly willing to take on relationships with people despite their obvious flaws) but you have a way of explaining who you are and how you are that really helps me understand you. I think that’s why I keep reading your stuff: I love getting a window into the ways that other people think.
Amy, I loved how your analogy brilliantly showed the flaw in Cain's argument. Creating a space where people connect is totally different than actively seeking people out and engaging with them. She and Malcolm Gladwell are obviously speaking about two very different phenomena.
I'm also interested in hearing from introverts who have had different energy levels after social interactions when they've been more authentic or less.
This is a thought take, I hadn't considered the authenticity angle before. Thanks.
