Only that cultural expectations forced people to be more social but they’d rather have peace and quiet from other people?

Thriving in complete and utter solitude is very uncommon. Between the social butterflies and the hermits, the vast majority of people need at least some semblance of social interactions to preserve their sanity.

I think I understand where you're going with this question: extraversion is so irrationally overrated in the West. Like, it's over the top. Western countries revolve around this, even for such important aspects of life as work. In many fields, networking is the only way to land a job. You're introverted? Just get over it and drain all your energy doing something that other people do effortlessly!

I'll stop here before it turns into a rant but basically introverts are undervalued and downright disadvantaged in many Western countries.

 Speaking me personally , I am .  I get more accomplished when working by MYSELF than I do when I have "help" . I get sick and tired of dealing with additudes , personalities and opinions , More often that not I have days of which I wish everyone would just GO AWAY and LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!
