One can turn too much inward, it can lead to mental decomposition

As you read through the following eight stages with their sets of opposites, notice which strengths you identify with most and those you need to work on some more.

yeah that is what I was saying, just cautioning people not to swing like a pendulum.

chiuld development? a baby deprived of human contact its hardly the same as a bit of self reflection when fully grown. and its certainly not the same thing as schitzophrenia which is a specific disease

True. If you don't believe this, ask the Alot itself.

Introversion does not equal psychosis or a propensity to violence.

This really shouldnÔÇÖt need to be said, of course. Except that it does.

Recently,The Daily Mail reported a tragically familiar story. A 23 year old named Joseph McAndrew stabbed his parents and twin brother to death in the ------- of their family home. Here were the very first words of the article: A 'loner and introvert' allegedly stabbed to death his twin brother, mother and father

IÔÇÖm sure this formulation is as familiar to you as the story itself. The media often brings us tales of ÔÇ£shy,ÔÇØÔÇØquiet,ÔÇØÔÇØintrovertedÔÇØ killers.

IÔÇÖm not disputing that Joseph McAndrew was a quiet guy who kept to himself. The article reports that he spent most of his time alone in his room.

But McAndrew was not just introverted. He was deranged. HeÔÇÖd been struggling with mental illness, possibly schizophrenia, for many years. And herein lies the problem. People who suffer from psychoses often withdraw from the world. Technically, they are ÔÇ£introvertedÔÇØ in the sense of having turned inward.

But they are not introverts in the sense that most people use that word, to connote a person who has a rich inner life and prefers low-stimulation environments (the company of a close friend to a big group, a quiet game of tennis compared to bungee jumping.)

In fact, studies show that introverted young people are less prone to violence and delinquency than extroverts are. They also smoke less and use fewer drugs.

Here's another way to look at the problem. People who suffer from mania tend to be sociable, talkative, and energetic. So do narcissists. It is also true that a narcissist is more likely to be an extrovert than an introvert. But that doesnÔÇÖt mean that extroversion = mania or narcissism.

Please, can we finally put this cultural myth to rest?

He was referring to when someone becomes too introverted from excessive self-reflection leading to psychotic episodes (as is seen in schitzophrenia), not a little bit of self-reflection leading to schitzophrenia.

Too much exercise can be harmful. Without proper rest, the chance of stroke or other circulation problems increases,
