It also pushes people away from the introvert label the way loners think people stay away from them. Human connections are always important regardless of your personality!
Anyway that’s my two cents, you can agree with it or not idc

But I also recognise that I’m not skilled enough to interact with all of them on a topic of my choosing at any time, and I often stop to think whether they even regard me as one of their own. This, therefore, makes the distinction more of capability, not personality, which isn’t fair

Many people around me would also classify me as an introvert, but under the old definition as in I “like to be alone/keeping it to myself”, as opposed to extroverts who “readily socialise with strangers”. I say this is an unfair characterisation because I love my friends! I love to share with them!

..recognition of their work and/or the social connections they have built. I, for instance, would be an introvert as I think I’ve built an entire genre of Indonesian election maps that have never been done before in this country; whether I receive appreciation or imitation are just the cherry on top

Am I saying the entire services sector is trans-coded? Yes.
Am I saying the people voting for Trump as he pledged to “bring back coal” despite the inevitable reality of deindustrialization is detrans-coded? Also yes.

the only hard countries for me are archipelago ones (not indonesia ofc we are special)
