Should introverts be forced to party?

Answer 1

I don't think it would be a good idea to "force" an introvert to party. In my humble opinion, I think it would cause far more harm than any possible good.

I suppose some extraverts might assume a friend who is an introvert might benifit if forced to party, that the individual might come out of his/her shell more, and perhaps find life a bit more fun and exciting.

However, an introvert might not actually be shy, persay, but just not an outwardly people person. While it is true that some shy people are mistaken for introverts, true introverts are going to be this way for their full lifespan. Introverts are not less valuable or viable than extraverts, they just think more inside their heads, and don't have as strong a need for human contact. Some introverts are extremely intelligent individuals and find more pleasure exploring intellectual pursuits than parties. True introverts find little amusing about shaking their booty, or getting drunk while covorting around with a lot of pretty girls.

I am not saying that extaverts are not intelligent, as many are very much so, only that intoverts tend to stay in their heads more than extaverts.

With that said, as mentioned above, shy people can often be mistaken for being an introvert. For these individuals, a good friend or two who are extraverts might be able to coax him/her out of the shell s/he is trapped in by carefully helping the individual to party a bit. A shy individual can actually be an extravert trapped by the shyness. Sometimes some type of trauma occured which caused a shell to form around the person and that shell can be difficult to crack. It is scarey to step out into public after an emotional trauma, such as a great deal of teasing during childhood. There isn't any more vicious a creature as a child(ren). They seek out the weak and/or different and then torment them. After a time, the tormented individual withdraws into the shell, and is unable to escape by his or herself. A sensitive friend who takes great care can help to coax the person out, and support that person until s/he developes more self esteem and confidence.

However, sometimes it can be difficult to tell a shy and tramuatized individual from the truly introverted. There isn't anything wrong with being an introvert, and if somebody attempts to "help" damage can result to the friendship.

So, I reccomend care when approaching an individual who may be a shy person masqurading as a introvert. Plus, the shy person usually is longing to bust out of that shell and get out into the party and kick up the floor! Be careful you don't accidently create a monster! lol

Overall, no, I don't think a real introvert should be forced to party. In fact, I don't think anyone could actually force a true introvert to party. They would be really against the notion and fight very diligently to avoid public crowds. It can actually harm an introvert to be forced into behavior which goes against his/her nature. The introvert might come to believe that they are not acceptable exactly as they are to friends and family. When we feel we don't live up to expectations that harms are self worth, and belief in ourseves. Regardless of what type of individual we may be.

I think extroverts need to tone it down a lot with the partying.
