Extroversion, Introversion and What Lies between

By now, everyone has probably been impacted by the ongoing not-yet-to-be-resolved epidemic of the year (hopefully). Being in UK with the entire ‘social-distancing‘ thing and lockdown-(ish) regulations going on, one can go insane. Earlier today, I came across a post, on Facebook, that mentioned the concepts of extroversion and introversion. Despite being quite lengthy, the post missed the points and the meanings of the two concepts to begin with, which makes me wonder how many people out there with a misconception about the two terms. Someone recently told me: “You must be going crazy being inside”, to which I asked what they meant and was told: “Because you’re such an extrovert“. “Interesting” – I thought to myself.

The Stress from 21st Century’s Youth Culture

A couple of weeks ago, I came across this one tweet on Twitter (which I do not particularly remember what the account was so give credit) that goes by saying that youth culture is feeling like someone is going to kill you if you don’t succeed by 25 years old. Very systematically speaking, what even is youth culture? And how painfully relatable is that tweet for young people nowadays? I am aware that youth culture everywhere is very different, and it is a bit of a shame that as someone who did not grow up and spend the majority of my life here, I am not completely acquainted with every aspects of UK youth culture, while being affected by the majority of US media and keeping in contact with Vietnamese culture. This, to some extent, gives me a wider look on the issues with youth culture nowadays. And the fact that I have spent nearly the last five years in the UK gives me a somewhat solid stand of argument.
