I'm unsure to respond and don't know if that was intended as a laugh-take or not

It's not. I interact with extroverts regularly. I even dated one for a while, and it was remarkable how unable she was to understand her own ideas and behaviors. Most of her world was this shared/consensus reality between her and her friends (who were in constant communication).

being unable to readily verbalize the contents of your inner world does not mean that it is absent. I mean, you started this with Jung, so the prominence of the unconscious (personal, collective, and even transpersonal) should be foundational.

From your tweet, the idea that one might "allow" (or not) social status games to occupy whatever proportion of their inner world presumes some level of control. In the correct Jungian sense, yes, everyone has an inner world, but extroverts do not give it much focus/attention.

yes, that is the definition of extrovert. how much conscious attention they pay to it is besides the point. my use of the world "allow" was probably a poor choice because it implies too much agency or volition. these are involuntarily things, largely.

what I'm trying to distinguish is personality type (introvert/extrovert) vs. socialization level (over/under). I think these are orthogonal and it's incorrect to say that the extrovert+oversocialized pair is archetypal.

an oversocialized introvert may exhibit extreme neurosis (as long as we're talking is psychoanalytical terms) at the prospect of how their interactions with others will be judged by others. an undersocialized extrovert may exhibit extreme disagreeableness and argumentativeness.

I don't think I understand
@Aelkus's idea clearly enough to say whether personality type is orthogonal from socialization level. My gut feeling is that the two are somewhat distinct but highly correlated.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

If we're willing to accept that personality type is prior to socialization, then we have positive feedback loops: an introvert would intrinsically feel less need to socialize, thus tending to become under-socialized, thus feeding into their self-perception as an introvert.

yes, that make's sense to me.
