Modern Wisdom · Why Nobody Feels Loved Anymore - Sonja Lyubomirsky - #1115 · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

No, no, no.

The introversion is the surprising part, I think, to me.

That the introverts, you know, Susan Cain wrote this great book, right, called Quiet.

Love the book.

And I'm a big fan of introversion.

I think there's a lot of benefits to being introverted.

But she writes that, you know, introverts get exhausted by trying to act social.

I actually don't quite believe it.

The evidence is now showing that it's actually the extroverts that get exhausted by social behavior.

It makes sense because they're social much more of the time.

Yeah, so the introverts also got happier acting extroverted.

So I love the definition, again, that Susan Cain made popular.

I believe that the evidence is not really holding up.

And actually, Nick Epley, who wrote a book called A Little More Social, great book, talks about this.

I think that the evidence is not quite there.

So I don't know, maybe again, absence of evidence is an evidence of absence.

But the studies, I think there's only with one exception, studies are showing that introverts that are asked to act more social do not feel depleted or exhausted.

But again, maybe we need more research.

I love it.
