reply> The question is, in a society of freedom and free will, if your environment forces you into a behavior you're unhappy with, is that truly damaging?
Being forced to conform to a set pattern of social behaviour/enjoyment is thoroughly damaging to your psychological health. It baffles me that anyone would think not.

replyNot who you asked and and not anonymous. But I know introversion is not learned because I lived it. Decades of making an effort to be social enough never made me any less introverted. I assume the same is true for extroversion but I can't speak from experience there.
