We are living in the age of increased tension. This is manifested in many facets of our lives such as:

· Less time

· Less employee loyalty

· Less employee engagement

· Less passion for work and increased turnover rates

· Leadership of control and more control and less room for creativity

· Less tolerance

· Less owning of a technology and more throw-away of fairly recent products to buy new ones

· Less stability at work

· Less ‘durable” marriages and increased cases of divorce that exceeded marriages in few countries.

· Less focusing and increased interruptions

Increased tension brings us nearer to the bifurcation point and we find ourselves progressively moving towards more bifurcation that eventually leads to chaos.

Which path to take among the available ones? The “tension of choice” is increasing at an alarming rate. Not only that, but also the “tension of unpredictability” is also increasing.

In these turbulent circumstances- would it be better to be an extrovert or introvert? What brought this question and even the idea of this buzz is the extraordinary quality of comments exchanged on a previous buzz of mine between the brainy Harvey Lloyd and Louise Smith. In one of her comments Louise wrote:

5 Myths
1.Extroverts get energy from social interaction while introverts get energy from privately reflecting on their thoughts and feelings.
2. Introverts are plagued by public speaking anxiety
3. Extroverts are better leaders than introverts
4. Extroverts are better networkers than introverts
5. Extroverts are better salespeople than introverts

Louise cited the link for further elaboration:

https://www.quietrev.com/5-myths-about-introverts-and-extroverts/

The above comment came as a response to an earlier comment by Harvey in an answer to a question I addressed to him. Harvey wrote “Introverts focus their energy in the subsystems of social activities, seeing the people, relationships and the story behind the story. Extroverts focus their energy on the next thing or activity while working in groups. The details of the group are not typically thought of by extroverts, they see the whole and its journey. Introverts expel energy within the activities while extroverts get energy from the activities”. Harvey is stating that introverts are exothermic whereas extroverts are endothermic. This is a paradox which I haven’t thought of before. Introverts release energy to the environment. Self-organizing reactions get energy from the environment to release it. Do we need more introverts so that our chaotic lives may self-organize?

A new thinking is emerging. Hearing the word introvert might give the false feelings of passiveness. If all people were extroverts and take energy from the environment then introverts are the balancing factor by releasing energy to the environment.

May be the answer is not being an introvert or extrovert- more it is being both by bifurcating from one to the other as situations unfold. It is being BOTH extrovert and introvert. This reminds me of using the left mind (logical mind) or the right mind (creative mind). Why not both?

I shall enjoy your comments on above issues.

Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee When you hit the "home button" that should take you to Discover (all recent posts) but on the top left of that page is the "share buzz" "write an article" Then you click "write an article ... After you publish ... on the top right there are 2 small icons to the far right of the title (one looks like a tiny trash can ... the other looks like a tiny pencil - if you click this it will take you to edit mode - make corrections - add or change images etc) these 2 icons (buttons) are only seen only by you as writer

Dear Fay Vietmeier I tried copy and paste instead of insert and it worked. You are amazing. I shall share a post tomorrow on beBee. It asks a question why governments keep procedures comples such as filling tax forms? Why many businesses prefer complexity over simplicity and even chaos over simplicity? The answer to both questions is the same. I hope that the copy and paste shall work tomorrow and not fail me again like the insert did.

Have you tried copying the images 1 at a time ? (this is what I do) Can't (for example) ... if working from a Word document (which I do) ... select "all" ... then copy to beBee ...

Ann Earnis Dear Ann ... this is not the appropriate place to share the casting of "spells" I'm glad you "got your husband back" .. but if was was by a spell cast ... how long will that last? You are unknowingly cooperating with dark forces "casting spells" is witchcraft ... I would encourage you to come into the Light “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise. Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” ~ Ephesians 5 ~ ... We choose darkness or light ...

A thought provoking look at the two. I like it! It's hard to say how such energy flows in the universe, but it's an interesting thought from an overall social context as well as a person one for maintaining balance in our life. I've shared it around.

#265. The archetypal intro/extrovert in very basic terms describes where you draw energy. Introverts draw energy from deep thinking and understanding. Where extroverts gather energy from social settings where ideas are openly discussed Both are each if they have balance. But for me introvert long discussions in large groups drains me. Where my wife is only getting warmed up at hour four. Take some time and look up he two from the Myers Briggs perspective For me it helped me a lot my time more effectively. Also it helped in who should direct the situations.

It is an amazing coincidence that the comment of Jerry Fletcher coined in her comment on that buzz the term negative love. That brought in some very interesting comments. https://www.bebee.com/producer/@ali-anani/coming-out-stronger So, Anti-vert is a challenging term. I invite Harvey Lloyd to comment on this for he made great comments here.

Dear @Ali 🐝 Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee I hope all is well. Great post. I would like to understand more the new way of thinking. Is there room for an Anti-vert: one who acknolwedges the shortcomings or challenges of both types and uses wisdom as a virtual medicinal means to offset and balance the symptoms. A Uni-vert: one who can leverage the best of both breads to advantage. An Exo-vert: one who acknowledges the internal differences of an intro and extro and effectively dwells within an overarching shell of something bigger than the individual, larger than the global and embraces the cosmic to become bigger than they are?

It has been stated that the formula really applied to infinity, but the word had not been coined yet. I believe the context is we should look for ways to open dialogue and not always throw up the stop sign. It is not to say the stop sign should go away, but rather reserve the sign for when it's appropriate.

Given our gift for the auto response can wisdom dictate we give them a second chance by not sharing our own? Many new relationships have formed because i gave someone a second chance of expressing themselves. Not sure if i triggered but certainly gave the opportunity to see me differently.

When we think no one cares we develop a pov that we exact on others. So in our travels throughout life when someone acts this scenario out, we can call poor customer service, or we can let them know we care. I always enjoyed managers that did reviews or interventions from the perspective of witnessed poor performance. I handled a few for them in the hopes to inspire them to empower our employees, some got it some didn't. I always engaged in these setting with discussions about our values, goals and roles. Then asked the individual how they felt they fit and their performance to date. Some were rougher on themselves, some thought they were perfect. I would alway return with what are some areas you would like to tell me about at our next meeting that you have improved. I would get the feedback set up meetings that helped them achieve that goal. They left fired or empowered. No in-between. My managers had a hard time breaking from the traditional professional seek and destroy and motivation by fear. This required a POV that everyone is worthy of the opportunity of my faith in them. I could not give it if i communicated fear.

Harvey Lloyd

منذ 6 سنوات #193

#222
For me i find it difficult to find character change through what man presents. Bias is ever present. That being said i would say that a faith journey offers a way to change our life patterns. The term external force is confusing. Life is moving between external forces in one context and in another life can find external forces of change. If you seek change though, leave no stone unturned. Seek and ye shall find.

Lisa Vanderburg

منذ 6 سنوات #192

#220
Makes sense...I can agree with that. So your saying basically that you adapt your POV depending on circumstances; a transient sniffing of the air, if you will. Do it myself (but not as well as you, I suspect!). Now in #219 Ali says, 'We shall not change unless we change ourselves. No external force can do that.' Is that all encompassing? Is that 'true'...for all of us? I'm not sure. Look at 'prison faith-conversions'. Not all of those are fake - makes sense that a lot are real changes. It is an external force that wrought change, aided albeit by actions of our own making. Of course, I'm now leaning far outside the boundaries of I & E......

I believe we are able to meet challenges on the river of life in one of two ways. Adapt our profile to the change or adapt the change to our profile. One involves the review of change and determining where you fit and executing, the latter is forcing the change to go by your rock. Our character can evolve but our response to situations can change with merely acquiring a new POV. My character is the same but my response has changed. You enter an establishment with a purpose. The sales person looks at you like you just crawled out from under a rock and says may i help you? Now my auto response is to educate the person on the finer points of sales and how they must have missed the class. But lets look at this with a perspective instead of auto response system. 1.The clerk has just left the boss's office and has lost insurance. 2.They are sick and had to come to work because they are hourly. 3. They just got grades for how to be an ass class and they failed. Give these three potential POVs does it change how you would respond? For me it does. I can't know the right one without speaking first to what i saw and seeking understanding. My opening comment in this scenario would be "rough day today"? The next answer should give me what i need to act on the right POV. None your _____business would reinforce my auto response system. But just maybe i could get them to see the error of their salutation.

Yessir...you are right, Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee below may address some of that. So, a question for you my friend: do/can we instinctively wrought change in order to change ourselves, or is it just random. So are able to 'change their minds' with a solid and long-living ability, most are not so successful. I used to think I could do/be anything; I know different now. Love to hear from Harvey Lloyd about that too...?

Thanks delightful friend Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich; your candor is disarming...it gives me pause. It makes me think deeper of how our 'view' can gradually (or quickly in rare circumstances) can lose it's hue over time and experience. I think some of us wrestle with ourselves - certainly, I do, almost all the time. Trying to contain the very dilemma of one's own life within the text of I or E or DiSC for that matter, is impossible. As a HSP (which frankly, I feel I should be, but ain't), what would life be like say, 100 years ago? Even 50. Has the www. 'enabled' some freedom for both I's & E's equally? I suspect no. Does it even have a bearing here? Web aside, I know that the 'closing of many gates' personally will lead to loneliness eventually. I suspect my 'behavior' will too. Worse, I can see me becoming as complicated, overbearing, insufferable (at worst-case) in my dotage. I hope not, but how much choice do we really have.... Great mind you have there, lady Deb!

our perspective changes as well. Is there any real change without chaning thinking? Our thoughts lead to our actions. Now the question is how deep the change is?

Perhaps the question is, 'what changes?' Expect the answer is life and longevity. If you lose a limb, that will effect things for a while - 2 limbs, a lot longer, etc. But that's just physical stuff. Rolling over the psychological as well as the physiological...the possibilities are endless, no?

First of all, I absolutely promise not to burn you with my eye-balls Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee - EVER. That said, I understand fully that if...say, dogs smell fear, humans do too (at some base level), so as a small child I decided to fear nothing. This worked for at least 40 years. Now I do the eye-ball thing just to stop complete strangers from running across the street to tell me their life-stories. I've always attracted them. More irritatingly, they always go away happy! Tsk!

Time is the water upon what we sit. We may not move but it does. So yes change is coming whether you wish it or not. Accepting the challenge that life is fluid changes how we approach the unknown. When we feel life is unfair and we can't keep up then the fluid dynamics works against us.

I wonder if any body has taken the test over the years and tell us how his test changed. You know Lisa Vanderburg we may this way have an idea about people and how they changed. if people change, the results would then at least partially reflect where they changed. I have noticed some of my colleagues who were extrovert, but then "the wisdom of life" changed them to introverts.

Your say you are 28% I and so you are more of an E. I think this is reflected in your desired answer " 'I ALWAYS made eye contact to recognise friend or foe. If foe, I'll set fire to them.' You make eye contacts first and so you are observant. However; observation is followed by action and this is the E part of you. Your writing style is also consistent with these observations. I tend to find your test reliable. I feel you are looking me in the eyes dear Lisa Vanderburg. Ready to wear my safety glasses!

LMAO at that test... I got: 28% introvert! But the range of answers were too narrow for me. Like this one: 'How does making eye contact makes you feel?' I had to answer 'really nice - I like to smile at people.' What I really wanted to answer was 'I ALWAYS made eye contact to recognise friend or foe. If foe, I'll set fire to them.'

Love the link Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich...but what about 'surf n' turf'? :) I totally get your drift and I can see where your coming from; particularly relating to the world of sales! I couldn't do it either, it would take more that a big fat E to allow me to be successful in that field. I'm musing....maybe because my I and E have altered over the years, that could be a reflection of perception and not necessarily reality? You make me use my noodle....VERY good thing!

In answer to the two questions Yes andYes. I did the test and am 24% extrovert. I agreed with the assessment that followed. A thought maybe we like/agree with the tests which match our perception of ourselves. Perhaps we should ask someone else to answer the set of questions based on how they perceive us, and see how close the two outcomes are to each other.#192

Debbie, youre occasional bout of extroversion does not alter your personality. What it does do is alter/enhance others perception of you. It's an example of playing to your strengths. If you were totally introverted then you would be a very one dimensional character, which you definitely are not. #191

You and i share some commonality (introvert). But the reality of this post and thoughts surrounding DiSC. is the fact we must, will engage socially/professionally, in our efforts to provide food clothing shelter. If we could see life and time as a river and we float upon the surface. The river never stops moving. We will encounter life. The idea is not to change but rather engage on this river we cant stop more effectively. This was a tough lesson for me to learn. This did not fix everything but did help me find boundaries, directions and most importantly stop taking natural things personally. And...be able to separate natural developments from manipulated ones. By no means an exact science. But does help us get on the other side of crap happens.

I respect all views expressed here and on LI. There are lots of varieties and finding a solid proof is out of my reach. It is being an introvert or extrovert? Can we be both? Is each type of the same color intensity? Is there a scale to what degree a person can be whether extrovert or introvert? In one of my previous comments I estimated myself to be 60% extrovert. Judging fro the way I spend my time I came with this crude estimate. It turns out not to be extremely crude. I found a testing side to approximate how E or I a person can be using variety-styled questions. Here is the link: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexfinnis/what-percentage-introvert-or-extrovert-are-you?utm_term=.alMP9nklPg#.pdMmg50QmX I share my results with the readers. I have nothing to be ashamed of and this is the way I am now. You Got: 51% extrovert! You are a mildly strong extrovert, which means you get your energy from spending time with other people, rather than chilling out on your own. You like to keep busy, and spending too much time by yourself leaves you feeling bored and quite down. While you love spending time with just a couple of your closest friends, you probably get even more enjoyment out of hanging out in slightly larger groups. You are not averse to taking risks and enjoy trying new things. You also like to have choices and can be quite spontaneous when you want to be. Do you believe in taking these tests? Do you find them of interest?

Back to you, darlin' Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich! I was intrigued by your answer here....takes me AGES to work out what or why. I think is was this: 'I physically cannot quickly jump to conclusions, I can feel the reluctance in my body.' I leave the essential and obvious (firefighters, police, ER staff) out of it - the 'immediate-action' ones. Do you think this dictates one's future course in life for a HSP? Is that a 'bent' like an E may be? We are all products of...whatever we're made of, but you are the most flexible person I know; even in 'reaction', it's with wisdom.

#151 I agree with the I E continuum idea. Like the Autistic Continuum we are all at some point on the continuum. There are times when we are nearer one or other of the ends dependent on the situation we find ourselves, hopefully we react in the right way. Yes we will tend by nature to be more introverted than extroverted or vice versa. However being a believer that in this case there are no absolutes, none one is either a total introvert or a total extrovert.

I agree with your sentiments but would suggest that when we speak of such things as character, profiles or the I E continuum we must add context. To be objective as we possibly can within this discussion thread. The I E continuum is discussed inside our choice of style within communications that have a purpose. This has been well discussed under this and other posts presented by Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee so i won't elaborate here. But what may deserve some attention is the contextual part of speaking of I and E. Sociologically we look at these two differently than we do within the psychological context. We also extend the context as we look at the strengths and weaknesses of each, polarize if you will. For myself when i hear discussions about the character/personal profiles i think about journeys of understanding how to communicate effectively within your purpose. Now, for sure i hear some who wish to place competition within the stereotypes and this is not what i sense was being researched. Using these labels to better our communication styles is the context that is for the masses of young leaders who are honing their skills. The profile is not a professional diagnosis of psychotic features. Although the same labels are used to describe the individual with psychotic features. From sales, to family dynamics we have a purpose that we wish to communicate. I want to learn the most effective way to obtain my purpose. Higher sales, children ready to face the world or maybe just relaxing in the backyard with family and friends. Purpose is the reason to communicate more effectively.

You often have to be introverted i e that is listen, before you can be extroverted and provide meaningful appropriate answers. Knowledge and expertise can usually only be gained and improved by listening to others. As you are through this post Ali, rather than as so often contributors do pontificate, you gain more from posing a question, than you do from initially providing answers.

great insights Zacharias \ud83d\udc1d Voulgaris in which he liked acting introvert or extrovert should be done purposefully. I gave an example of negotiations. An introvert would observe, gather information, observe body language, pause and think. The purpose is to understand the position of the other side snd his intentions. Would you agree?

Zacharias 🐝 Voulgaris

منذ 6 سنوات #127

I agree. This false dichotomy only confounds the whole matter. Things may be one or the other when we are dealing with rudimentary matters (e.g. a woman is either pregnant or not, a person is either alive or dead, etc.) but for more convoluted situations, it's hard (if not impossible) to have a crisp answer. Besides, when it comes to introversion and extroversion, one doesn't exclude the other. Most academics tend to be introverts, yet they are fine with engaging with their students in the classroom, for example, or with other people from academia in a conference. By adopting a stereotypical approach to things we are only limiting our perception as well as the opportunities they may offer us.

Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich- these great discussions are truly interesting. Whay you say observe first. Haste leads to misjudgement. Whether I or E this is valid. I don't differ with you at all. Where the difference occurs is what follows next. An I would not voice opinion till after or if asked. They give themselves enough pausing time to search and study all perceptions. An I would speak soon after listening. As for those people who are talkative and don't observe and listen are not truly E. They are interruptors and use their energy in chaos. I often write as I did before responding to Edward Lewellen some breathing time to think. Iam I in these cases, but with shorter silence times than in your case. The intensity of my I color is less than yours.

coming back to your comment dear friend Edward Lewellen after taking a pause period with myself. Studies say that the ratio of extroverts to introverts is in the range of 70%-50%. I don't know the reason why this range is rather wide. This is if we believe that introverts are not born, but are the results of life experiences. During my pause I focussed on kids who sprang in my head and who are devoid of significant life experiences being so young. Few names stood out. They all share same body language. They look with their eyes down when asked a question. They talk in low voice and give very brief answers. They hate open-ended questions. However; they are very gifted. They enjoy drawing and some of these are truly creative. They consume their energy in hobbies they enjoy. I am keen to read your response.

You the whole brain is greater than the sum of its right and left. Only if the two parts talk to each other. However; it is up to us to some extent to make them talk to each other.

How to bifurcate between being an introvert and extrovert is greatly explained in your comment. More you answer the why, how and what to do and where to do it at the right time.

I believe as we start a journey of self discovery we need to see the graph and placement is personal. A personal perspective if you will. Given time to emerge from thinking about that placement we should look at others and see how they would fit on the graph. Placing others allows us to form a perspective. Not good or bad. But for the first time we get to evaluate our environment from our own perspective and now with speculation of others. The third step is to try and see a event, situation or "Dilemma" from the others position. Again we are still in the introspective mode. We have not said a word. In the end what we are attempting to do is connect feelings and emotions with our executive functioning part of the brain, and disconnect them from the current limbic auto response system. In working with folks i usually get negative feedback as they sense i am cutting them off from engagement. This is not the goal. The goal is to get them to expand their ability between stimulus response. If we tie to our executive functioning brain we can now add purpose to our engagement which is always the goal. If the limbic system responds then i can't add purpose until i have been satisfied within that system. Which i am not sure that satisfaction is ever achieved. Clearly though purpose is never forwarded.

That you are both will place you on the graph quite differently from sombody who is very much tilted towards I or E. I wonder what Harvey Lloyd would comment.

,efore reading your comment i posted my comment #98. I like so much your point of view linking E or I with purpose. I read my comment again after reading yours Harvey Lloyd and I surely agree with you. I am I when the purpose is imagination and coming up with creative ideas. I am E when it is socializing with the purpose to learn and exchange knowledge and experiences. Well-said my friend.

A friend of mine sent me a private message asking me to say openly whether I am introvert or extrovert. I share my response with you. I am both. I asked myself how often do I isolate myself from people and the internet including emails. I need to imagine, to think and ponder. I want to walk by myself. I don't want to be interrupted. I dare say 40% of my time. The rest I would like to engage with people to learn from them and their experiences. So, I say that I am 40% introvt and 60% extrovert. I hope I am clear enough.

amazing your comment is dear Debasish Majumder. Today Lisa share a link that Deb shared before on exactly carbon dioxide. In one way this gas increases crop producrion because plants use this gas in photosynthesis. On the other side this is on the expense of nutrients such as iron. So we have more crops, but with less nutrional value. I hope Lisa would share the link with us here. I am using mobile and it is not easy to share the link myself. You are a great thinker my friend.

We can not expose ourselves as I or E until we understand the purpose. Before purpose i am neither and both. I don't get to deep into my label except as it applies to purpose. If it is date night with the wife then it is E event and i know the purpose. If we are in a meeting i can bring the inside the wave view and lien on those who surf well to provide their perspective to the purpose. The surfer and the wave are inseparable. One has no purpose without the other. Good leaders will always answer your question, i am both. But as we look at young budding leaders we need to help in separating the two while explaining the symbiotic relationship between both. To allow the media to describe the two is travesty. E environments are where we sell products and services. Its not where we live.

i forgot to mention sir Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee that, the increase of carbon Di-Oxide in the atmosphere, surprising plants are losing their nutrients and not supplementing the food for our convenience as before. naturally, their introvert feature are largely being affected. so, consequently it is directly proportional to their extrovert features too. i mean to say that external conditions are largely affecting the extrovert and introvert behavior too.

Everything will fall into place if you smile and are friendly to those you meet. People want to do business with individuals they like and trust. Your personal appearance, handshake and body language say a lot about how you feel about yourself. Focus first and foremost on being genuine and personal, friendly and establishing trust in order to build a relationship. Win-win relationships involve mutual give and take. Focus on giving first and you will reap the long-term benefits of a relationship that will give back many times. Are you focused on creating short-term associations or building long-term relationships? I LOVE THE LONG-TERM BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS.. and those ones often are deep relationships because we share personal time. I do love people.. because professionals are humans. :-) Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee I LOVE beBee because I would like to meet you ALL !!! thanks ! have a great week !

You introduce a social understanding of a complex issue. I hope i can venture off the path of current discussions to comment here. Society and religion have had a symbiotic relationship since the beginning of time. If not to explain science before we new or even to draw society back into moral alignment after the gasps of death from the Roman empire. Religion in its many forms has been called out when society has run amuck and discarded once we have found firmer ground. Unfortunately as we go through these cycles, man, not religion hold onto power pieces of moral authority. Then comes the splinter groups who wish to crusade for the oppressed. Then we have Rome all over again. A challenging cycle that it appears we humans are destined to repeat. I would propose that Religion offers us a moral authority that is equal to all. The interpretations should be appropriate and not include oppressive doctrines created by power brokers, on either side.

I believe that in some professional journeys, Coaching, consulting and professional writing beBee has a place where the whole person can exist. I also believe personal and professional don't mix well. A customer is counting on you to perform, any personal inputs that are to the contrary will be dealt with in the professional envelope. I have had an expression that has served me well throughout my small business journey. You don't poo where you eat. My customer needs what they need, my personal beliefs, journeys or understandings are not necessary for them to form an opinion. Some customers the professional and personal bonds develop. But this has to happen naturally. I believe some of the struggle with a social media site that wants to envelop the whole human experience will have to deal with conflicting views that get presented within your posts, the ability to limit viewing of various posts to a limited group with no sharing, Groups that have the ability to pre-approve posts and in essence the ability to separate posts intended for a few from the many. But this defeats the purpose. It is an experiment that i have enjoyed participating. But mine is all personal engagement.

I have always liked to consider that the two labels have two energy needs. One private and one public. But either participates in the others activities. If you watched me you would say i have both. But what i prefer is quiet time to contemplate the the E events of the day. For me the point of discussion is our preferenced should not be inferred on others during engagement. My favorite is when E tells me, hey come on to the party and this will all blow over. I think not. The opposite is true of E's I's shouldn't invite them to their sofa of discovery, they need people around as they crawl through some events life has dealt. They want to engage and hear what others think. You have broaden the discussion.

Even though it may seems we're going off-point with Chas \u270c\ufe0f Wyatt brave statements, I know Ali, that you will respect and welcome it, for it's the nature (and intent, methinks) of this buzz: finding the change we need in our selves and collectively. Addressing my friend Chas \u270c\ufe0f Wyatt, I think personal branding is perfectly valid if that's the true basis and creed by which they work or 'tick'. But there are too many on all these ilk of platform to all have an authentic brand. It's caused trouble by assumption,between the alleged have and have-not's. But I also thing that Bebee is stronger than it was a weak to two back, because skirmishes have made us grow, and more importantly, the management have stepped up not to 'remove' but to openly comment....finally! That said, it could be because I has a bawl-fest :)

Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee To be honest, I don't see any issue. On beBee you can be personal , professional or both. With an integrated personal and professional profile, you can connect with people based on shared hobbies, passions or interests. Not only does this help start the conversation, you may also find you develop a stronger, more successful business relationships by being able to bond over something outside of office talk. Every bee is free to be personal or professional or both. I always tell everybody " Don’t confuse “personal” with “private”. If we share any passion is NOT private, is something personal that can help me to connect deeper. .......because we found common interests and passions, which build rapport and deeper connection.

Great that you helped yourself to be both Chas \u270c\ufe0f Wyatt. This is an astonishing achievement. Birfurcation happens when tension reaches a high level and beyond the capacity of a system to hold. It is a long story. For now, I must think about your question. Tensions of limited resources could be a significant factor. Tension of high speculations could be another factor. Tension of increasing costs could be another source of tension. You must be having something worthy in your mind to ask this question. I don't really have the data to answer your question. Do you feel the tension in general is growing? This is an issue if it is.

Ice contains heat which burns. equally boiling water having the same capacity to produce equal impact on us. if we consider only ourselves as reactors then the impact we may produce hardly having any say for us or we can act according to our wish. i am in utter doubt how much pertinent introvert or extrovert, if they fail to produce the impact we aspire for. while riding on waves do we have any capacity to act according to our wish? it is the waves along with its intensity of vibrations determine our behavioral pattern. however, i do believe that there is every possibility to transform extrovert to introvert and vice versa, depending upon the circumstances. still the content is too intriguing, as in case of plants what they excretes enable us to survive and sustain and even make lovely vibes in the milieu we are living. but, how do we gauge what plants may absorb, how much output they are capable to explicit and in what degree they are manifesting? however, great buzz sir Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee. with my little understanding i can only voice this much.

Thank you Cyndi wilkins and I greatly appreciate your comment. Imagine that the plants use all sunlight energy to make their food and this energy isn't released back to the environment not necessarily as heat energy, but also other forms of energy. What would happen. On the same level if introverts soak up all energy and don't release it what would happen? It is the give and take, be a receiver and donor, be extrovert and introvert or at least if you are totally one then you know the need to seek the thoughts of the others. This brings balance and order. Like make and female they produce when they are together and not separated. The opposites bring balance to our lives. Crazy yes, but this is the fact.

" If all people were extroverts and take energy from the environment then introverts are the balancing factor by releasing energy to the environment." It's a 'push me pull you' kind of concept...We need the energies of both to balance the system...The energy we give so to shall we receive...When we are out of alignment with our purpose, we tend to lean more in one direction the other...It is up to us to discern which energies may be in need of a 're-charge' and which may be in need of some 'quiet time.' We need to re-parent ourselves;-)...Crazy isn't it?!?! Great buzz!

The mind-stretcher and imagination-stretcher as well and surely I mean you Lisa Vanderburg. So, we have a great metaphor. I feel this buzz is thrown in an ocean with sharks, fishes, turbulent waters, algae and all sorts of diatoms living in it. The author makes the wave (writing the buzz) and by throwing it in the ocean what results would he/she expects? Can the author control or predict the outcome. There must be some sharks who makes the red ocean and there are the peaceful swimming species that create the blue ocean. WOW! Another mind-blowing possibilities.

The psychic disorder that comes from a societal extrovert bias hurts the introvert more but that is predicated on a Western society that advertizes outgoing and object orientated values. Even within a western society, a woman who learns to operate under relgious command to be a subservient creature maybe an extrovert that now is shaped into introverted patterns - that itself creates psychic disorder. If 50% of society is naturally inclined to introversion, then we really do not have an intelligent equilibrium. We are more apt to ape the custom of political correctness than we are to appreciate the subtleties of the human condition. There is nothing subtle about political correctness - instead of trying to reshape disorder - let us learn to appreciate the natural order within us.

An introvert sees the inside of the wave while the extrovert rides the wave. Which is more important? If the wave serves a purpose then both. If the wave serves no purpose then neither. You bring an excellent metaphor to the discussion. As humans we must serve with the energy that is needed. To bring heat to the ski slopes would not be desirable. I may not be able to ride the wave, but i can insure that the wave is sustainable so that those that do ride, can do it well.The heat for boiling water and the water that is boiled are two separate things but serve a single purpose according to how it it used in the end. Is the water better than the heat? If the water is to purify something then the heat is equal to the process. Great expansion of understanding Debasish Majumder

Yes, I fully agree with you Harvey Lloyd and we need to add flexibility to our communication styles. If I am an extrovert then I should know when to seek the advice of an introvert. Some people who are extrovert hate dealing with introverts. I have friend who is labeled as an extreme extrovert. His son is to the extreme opposite being very introvert. They are having difficult times. In fact the other day the father told me he can no more bear his son. We may build bridges on differences or burn the bridges out. One more point is exact science. I am working on a project that for a client. The mix has aggregate, water and foaming agent. Solid, liquid and gas exist together. If we heat to increase the mix the gas escapes. If we overheat some solid components produce gas which affects the properties of the mix. If we add water to increase the workability of the mix soon a silicate gel forms and we run into many problems. There is no exact science, but there is moderation. That is to get the optimal compromise. We people in life are not different. We have people with solid attitudes, other with gel-like attitudes. Some temperaments are volatile like a gas. We need a compromise. Your comment Harvey is a way for me to seek such a compromise.

I generally reject the mainstream medias presentation of these two styles of engagement. Extroverts are not the cheerleaders of society while introverts are the wall flowers. The words take on many meanings when we use them in "how" will we communicate. If we were to have a birthday party for our child we wouldn't set up a bunch of adults to share in a PowerPoint presentation of the history of birthday celebrations. But given the stereotype of introvert this is what would happen. Birthday parties are extrovertish styled events, We are all extroverts within the party. If we are at the party and see a wallflower in the corner, will we label them as an introvert and dismiss? Extroverts have challenging emotional epochs where they need some wallflower time. I always shudder when i here words of action turned into words of judgement. Extro/introverts are all great people that serve each other differently. Each has a personal life and learning curves that sometimes strain their journey. This is not because of their label, but rather because they exist.

There is a comment on this buzz on LI in which the commenter questioned our ability to be both. Your comment Javier \ud83d\udc1d beBee is a perfect answer to his question. I agree with you and with the need to be both. SImple steps can help us a lot along the way. For our time though I wish to be more of an introvert than an extrovert.

Thank you dear Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee is right, ambivert seems to be the middle of this spectrum because we are humans and social persons, maybe ;)

I believe before we answer the question you pose we would need to understand why the question is important. Schrodinger's Cat and Solemn's Baby both had Lisa Vanderburg's "Dilemma". In each case we are faced with choice. The choice is based on our best factual information. But this information will now engage us with another human. Whether more sales to increase revenues, or assisting someone through a health crisis we now must understand the engagement process. The words intro/extrovert are not labels of who we are but rather understandings within complex world of engagement. These words are amoral until we apply them as a reducing label or a choice within how to engage. The egg is always my go to metaphor when more than one person is involved. I want to be the egg in the cake we eat when successful. The egg holds the ingredients together so that cake can happen. Sometimes the team needs an introverted egg. An egg that thinks deeply about the various decisions and choices about the future and how it is presented. Other times the team requires a get r done attitude with boosts in the fuel tank of excitement and encouragement. Sometimes i can be this, other times i go to extroverts and help them become the egg for the dilemma. Not an exact science. But i do believe that science coupled with media blur your question. In science we need labels with exact definitions. In most cases the research looks at a negative situation through the eyes of individuals. We then scale the results within a continuum of introvert/extrovert. We label people and associate the negative dilemma research to that person. When i use these words they are circumstantial. They represent a choice of what style of communications to apply to a dilemma. Not who a person is.

Nobody’s 100 percent introvert or extrovert—we all have tendencies of both personality types lurking inside us. I am introvert but I've learned to be more extrovert. Non-verbal cues are more powerful than you think. If you prefer other people to approach and start conversations, encourage them by making eye contact and smiling. You can practice on the street, at the store or just about anywhere else. Practice smiling ! Smile ! thanks Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee
