no matter how you look at it, introverts are smarter because they tend to be alone more, and if theyre alone often then even if they didnt want to - they will start learning something to kill their time

We're able to stay indoors for days on end if we choose and can get everything delivered to us, whereas even 10 years ago that wasn't the case, still popular but not as much.

As time goes on this will only get worse I'm afraid, if this trend continues that is.

1. social
2. thinking
3. anxious
4. restrained.

Dopamine and acetylcholine are the deciding factors to a persons way of living and socializing. You blame technology and humans loss of morals and behavior when in fact it's uncontrollable and already a design from natural dna. It's a chemical in the brain that gives us the feeling of happiness and enjoyment either in the company of others or solitude. Yes trauma and life's battles with jobs, stress, and other humans treatment of us can change our living habits and lifestyles. However your mind is set one way you can choose to change how your able to receive acetylcholine and dophamine but it takes time research and motivation to change from being an extrovert or introvert.

There's nothing wrong with either. Sometimes it can be a sign of a deeper illness, such as a social phobia which also connects to anxiety which is not always linked to any bad experiences or childhood trauma. The mind is the deciding factor on who you will become in life and how you react and act with everything.

You certainly could nurture a "born introvert" into being extroverted. Perhaps not every "born introvert", but the human mind is usually much more flexible than you make it sound.

But something changed recently and there's a lot of introverts now. I mean they were already a thing since long time, but it wasn't many of them at first, overall percent of population that are introverts kept increasing and now its quite high. Therefore I think you could say that introverts are product of genetical and technological evolution.
