I completely agree that it seems to become a little bit more easy for the introverts nowadays. I think that "the era of introverts" is rising thanks to the IT and AI sectors :) When I was working at a school, we were discussing personality traits and made a temperament test with my 9th graders for fun. I was very surprised to find out that most of them turned out to be introverts and... were so proud of it! It was so cool to be an introvert! They were bragging about that. Their personality was still developing and it wasn't a scientific test anyway, we did it just to trigger a discussion. But I think, the most important thing here, is that there is a big shift in attitudes towards introverts amongst the youngsters these days. Or, at least, that is what I observed.
