Nicely said. I'm extroverted, for sure, but also have empathy. The return will be tough for many, and I've begun thinking how we will need to accomodate. The struggle will continue, that's all I know.
Love this (& Susan Cain's work! fun fact: she is a college classmate of one of our mutual friends at Adas!). One of my favorite lines of hers is that introverts spend so much of our energy trying to act more like extroverts, when really extroverts could benefit just as much from trying to act more like introverts--your post gives me hope that maybe the pandemic will make that two-way exchange more likely!
Thank you for this comment. I love knowing I’m one degree separated from Susan Cain. Very cool! I also really appreciate that line, and I hope that we can move forward more thoughtfully so that we can all get what we need.
