“Introversion is often caused by grandiose or exhibitionistic impulses.”
For me, I would not say it is not self-inhibition, to, say, stay out of trouble. A simple explanation, like dopamine response sounds right. http://www.medicaldaily.com/brain-introvert-compared-extrovert-are-they-really-different-299064 After a morning of meetings, or even just one, I’m overloaded with distracting unconnected but enduring signals. Processing garbage that is of little interest me and with little consequence. However, I can adapt over to extrovert mode – “pretend to be a manager” mode -- and function that way, provided I don’t have any expectation of accomplishing anything that requires careful linear thinking. It’s a (too) slow ramping process to get back into introvert mode. Marcus
