Despite all this research, however, the
results that were published are still considered preliminary and
more needs to be done to clarify the role of oxytocin and the genes
that influence it. However, researchers are still confident that this
may lead to treatments for a variety of social disorders. The
question is, is introversion a social disorder? Methylation is a
dynamic process that can change to varying degrees over the course of
a person's lifetime. For example, I took the Myer's-Briggs
personality test when I was in college, and I was categorized as an
extrovert. I took it again a year ago, and now I'm a borderline
introvert. You wouldn't know it—I have to give lectures, talk with
a variety of people every day, and sometimes I even need to assert
myself for many hours in sales situations, but I will admit, I am
feeling more exhausted by social environments these days than I used
to be. I attribute it to age, but maybe there's more to it? Maybe I
am becoming more of an introvert...I do prefer to stay at home in my
basement and remain off-grid for days at a time. Is that so wrong?
Some don't think so...
