Hey guys, today we continue with extravertion.
I'd recommend watching my first video on the
topic or else you won't get anything.
Non-reflectiveness often says lack of insight.
The extraverted may well be quick in decision
making, leading and execution, but his hastiness
causes disaster in situations where an elaborate
planning would be more appropriate.
This is our interest in today's video: How
the virtue of extravertion becomes a curse.
Let's start off with a reiteration of my previous
video:
We've mentioned that With this capacity of
real-time adaptability the extravert's consciousness
swallows and harmonizes itself with the ever-changing
world.
As he treads in coherance with everything,
environmental pressure is reduced and action
is made easy to execute.
The second he switches environments his consciousness
re-shapes a new relationship with the next
perceptive stimuli, forming yet another favorable
territory wherein he is in power.
With each and every circumstance confronted
he creates and recreates a subjective reality
wherein he thrives.
"An individual who adjusts himself to it is
admittedly conforming to the style of his
environment, but together with his whole surroundings
he is in an abnormal situation with respect
to the universally valid laws of life.
He may indeed thrive in such surroundings,
but only up to the point where he and his
milieu meet with disaster for transgressing
these laws.
He will share the general collapse to exactly
the same extent as he was adjusted to the
previous situation."
His body cries for rest, for food, or tenses
up because of an angry mood, of being overworked,
however most often he cannot see it . Only
after these symptoms turn a palpable illness
that the extraverted notices.
Others on the other hand can easily discern
on him this gradual build-up.
His swift adaptibility to the outer environment
makes itself a benefit on one hand, a tiresome
curse on the other.
His nature is of being outwardly immersed
in people and things, it is harder then for
him to manage inner issues and sometimes elementary
needs.
Still speaking of his two sided capacity,
his adaptable nature allows the extravert
as mentioned to be utterly swallowed by, and
lose oneself in objects and people, thus building
ties with them made as quick a matter.
Should he abuse of this spontaneous gift,
should he not resort to an occasional retreat
to care for himself, what was once a gift,
turns a devilish curse.
The example we could take is of the hard-working
extravert who, in spite of notable achievements,
cannot bestow a break to himself.
What could have been a minor stressor accumulates
into a serious neurosis and self-sabotage
ensues.
The singer who reaches to be famous and is
tempted to slog for more.
The first turns an alcoholic, the second loses
his voice.
Such is the body's response against neglect
of basic needs.
"The resultant functional disorders, nervous
or physical, have a compensatory value, as
they force him into an involuntary self-restraint."
The forced retraction comes about in a symbolic
form, driving the extraverted away from his
purpose to a hysterical state.
"Hysteria is, in my view, by far the most
frequent neurosis of the extraverted type."
Aside from physical, or psychic disorders
alike alcoholism, the extraverted hysteria
exaggerates the normal attitude of the personality.
His effortless ability to adjust without losing
oneself turns into a repulsive attitude of
immitating others, becomes highly suggestible
and thus malleable by their intentions.
"A constant tendency to make himself interesting
and to produce an impression is a basic feature
of the hysteric.
The corollary of this is his proverbial suggestibility,
his proneness to another person�s influence."
Should he keep on neglecting his needs for
pause, the hysterical state gets complicated
by further physical ailements, producing a
forced introvertion.
In this phase his psyche is to display contents
typical to an introverted consciousness like
intense, and morbid fantasies, and yearnings
for 
solitary activity.
