Psychiatrists speak of a new personality type called “othervert”, which discusses everything that was previously known about the terms “introvert” and “extrovert”, which are commonly used to classify people.
The person who “found” this term was the American psychiatrist Rami Kaminskiwhich he came to after recognizing its characteristics both in himself and in some of his patients. Although people Extroverts They are usually defined as someone who performs well in social situations, feels motivated by the large number of social interactions in which they participate, and enjoys being the center of attention. Introverts They are more on the energetic side, as they tend to be more comfortable in low-level environments, prefer small groups, and have a disillusionment with intense social interactions, which are stressful for them.
Likewise, it seems to be becoming more common every day for someone to refer to themselves as “extrovert, introvert“or vice versa, something that is usually used to describe a balance of both characteristics at the same time. But contrary to what is usually discussed, another different one has now emerged, called otherverta new personality trait recently discovered by experts, something completely different to the personalities already mentioned.
Rami Kaminski used this term to talk about those who You consider yourself neither an extrovert nor an introvert.. Firstly, it can be described as the ideal third position for many people who feel they belong to neither one nor the other Anothervert describes her perfectly.
In dialogue with the British portal Daily MailKaminski explained, “When (Carl Gustav) Jung invented the terms extrovert and introvert, he saw them as two basic personality orientations. I see that.” othervert in the same way: a personality trait that leaves the group. Extroverts and introverts are communitarian by nature while the other is a communitarian I miss the group. Per se, It’s not a problem neither a condition nor a diagnostic label.” With this introduction, doubts have been raised as to what novelty this definition might contain.
“It simply means that most people learn to develop a sense of belonging to a particular group through social conditioning, other they are still social, but not a community“Added the psychiatrist to mention a clear difference. He even claimed to feel identified with this word and did so using a personal example in which he revealed that this was the case scout when I was a child and he felt nothing while her classmates were excited and amazed by the feeling of connection.
On the other hand, he explained that these people are the “Freak Bluetooth“ himself, something he developed as follows: “The Others They are very friendly and able to form very deep connections with other people. The only social difference lies in this lack of connection to groupscollective identity or shared traditions.” He even explained that those who suffer from this disease do not see the ability to do so connect emotionally with others.
Rami Kaminski concluded: “Otroverts discover very early on that they feel excluded from each group. This happens even though they are mostly popular and welcome there. This discrepancy can lead to this emotional discomfort and one Feeling of incomprehension“.
