Monster Baby #78 Extroversion Introversion

Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Are you sure?

In their continued adjustment to living with the reality of a world-sweeping pandemic, Ted and Lisa turn their attention to one of their most noticeable differences. They start the episode by acknowledging the challenging circumstances of the time (1:49) and then begin by introducing the very concepts of extroversion and introversion (11:36). Ted offers a few clarifications for other types that overlap with introversion (17:38) and asks Lisa about the downsides of extroversion (25:51). Naturally, Ted offers his perspective on the downsides of introversion (27:51). The pair then makes some important distinctions between extroversion, introversion and the improv idea of status relationshjps (31:27).  Lisa wonders why Ted felt inspired to have this conversation now (38:00) and then both get into some nitty gritty about more explicit connections to mindfulness and improvisation (44:35). Lisa offers a final Care Bear blessing (51:42) before we get to the wrap-up Outro (52:40).
