i really like ur take here on introversion especially radical acceptance—never heard of that before. thinking about it, i think there's some nuance to it. i think radical acceptance makes a ton of sense when someone’s preference or behavior is rooted in insecurity or a fundamental fear of rejection since pressing too much can make them feel exposed or judged where otherwise they should be validated. but i think in cases where it's just a neutral preference (like picking a flavor of ice cream), i would guess most people actually enjoy talking about the "why" behind their choices because honestly people love talking about themselves and to see other people interested in them. the important thing here and probably difficult to get down is understanding when someone wants connection and engagement vs. when they just need to feel accepted without explanation.

at the end of the day, i think what makes someone a 2%er for them is whether that person knows when to accept without judgement and when to engage with curiosity.
