As social media hails introverts as the those best able to deal with mandatory stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic, experts say it's simply not true.
There’s been a slew of memes and articles celebrating the fact that introverts are thriving in a time of the coronavirus quarantine, with some calling it the “springtime for extroverts.” Turns out, that’s not quite true.
— Meredith Ireland April 1, 2020 Cain, a self-described introvert, describes her own struggle with the stay-at-home orders. “I've always written in cafes, and that's what I love. And it's a daily joy for me to do that,” she says. “I love the experience of being what I call, ‘alone together.’ Meaning being in a situation where you can feel the energy of other people around you but also have the freedom to go inside your own head.
Check on those of us who are introverts but married to extroverts who now have to stay in the house. We are not okay. 😩 “Introverts tend to ‘live inside their heads,’ which can be a double-edged sword,” he says. “The good part is I'm never bored and can happily focus on projects, the bad part is that I tend to dwell on the COVID-19 tragedy that is unfolding and can sometimes feel overwhelmed and helpless.”
“While I'm not offended by them, I don't agree with the sentiment,” says Mart. “There's a widespread misconception that introverts are misanthropes when the key distinction between ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ simply boils down to how our energy levels are affected by social interaction. Personally I enjoy meeting people and learning about them, and it pains me to know that hundreds of thousands are facing unimaginable suffering and death.
