The big wide world isn't even educated enough about introverts and extroverts to make any of it obvious at all. Most people don't have a working understanding of introversion and extroversion anyway. They may know on some level that some people behave this way and some behave that way but that still doesn't stop them from behaving in the patterns they do when one meets the other.
It seems so goddamned ingrained. Can we change it?
Well there's the people I'm interacting with here in this thread, who ARE aware of these differences, and I'm trying to talk about
a) how people here, being aware, relate (or don't) with their E/I opposites whether those other parties are aware of the differences or not
b) how people who are introverts and extroverts but not completely aware of it, might intimidate each other, and theorizing as to various aspects of this
c) whether most people really aren't aware anyway, whether they're into MBTI or not, that they're more of an extraverted type of person or introverted.
The words are in common usage, though not with quite the same specific meanings as in MBTI, and yes i'm sure it can be changed, especially when into one community of X people in the world 'out there' can be inserted one person from here, who is consciously aware of these differences.
1 - how that person could work to improve relations between themselves and others
2 - how they could reduce misunderstandings between others not aware of MBTI, by using their knowledge.
But really, I didn't have an agenda as such, so quit INTJ-ing me!!
