The ability to live our lives online well predates the pandemic. Remote work hasn't prevented experiences (except perhaps being tied to a commute), it's enabled us to live more flexible lives.

My partner (extreme introvert), and myself (somewhat an ambivert) have travelled the world for 6 years as digital nomads and rarely if ever do extroverted things. But introvert is not the same as not leaving the house.

We've done ~50 countries, quietly, patiently and without broadcasting our lives for all to see. We've learned to sail and lived on a sailboat for a while without starting a youtube channel so the world can follow us doing it.

I find the article mostly to be flawed and ridiculous. Calling introverts selfish is obnoxious. This reads like a (fake) column from "Sex and the City".

Carrie: "I found myself wondering if humans would go extinct if they didn't go to bars every night".

This one. If I ever needed to describe myself it would be between an extreme introvert or at least 'a guy in himself'.

But if you would ask the guys in the bars I frequent... I doubt introvert would be the word they say.

That's what a lot of people don't get about introverts. Yes, I interact with people, and yes, I leave the house. I just interact with certain smaller set of people which I am not eager to extend on each opportunity (it may happen, but slower), and I leave the house when I feel like it - which may happen less frequently than some other people, so what.

I've always looked at introvert vs extrovert as how someone recharges their mental battery. I think of myself as a Social Introvert. I like socializing with other people when I'm recharged, but I need alone time to recover. When I'm done being social, I'm 100% done and can't be bothered to continue interacting.
