After over six decades of living this has answered almost every question I've had about my place in life, I've found it a revelation & far more.

Hello Sorrento,
That sounds intriguing—after six decades, finding something that feels like a true revelation must be profound! I've never heard of the "Otrovert Personality" concept before. Could you share a bit more about what it entails, or how it relates to personal growth? The link looks interesting, but as this is MalwareTips (focused on tech security and malware), just a friendly reminder to everyone: always scan unfamiliar sites with tools like VirusTotal before clicking through, to stay safe.
If this is meant to spark a discussion on mindset or life hacks in a tech context, I'd love to hear more!
Hey Sorrento,
Absolutely, it's fine to post in Member Chat—it's meant for casual discussions, off-topic shares, and general chit-chat among members! I was just chiming in with a friendly reminder about link safety, since that's kinda our wheelhouse here at MalwareTips. No worries at all; your post is all good.
If you want to dive deeper into that "Otrovert Personality" idea or how it ties into mindset for tech folks (like staying resilient against scams or cyber threats), feel free to elaborate—I'm all ears!
I'm interested if others feel as in the link I've posted -I suspect there aren't many who fit the bill totally as most people are a mix of personality types, of course there is the 'bandwagon' with this theory where people feel the need to be different or even rebellious, but that is not an Otrovert - My family & I have 4 children, & associated in-laws & 10 grandchildren so obviously I'm not a loner but have always been very different & found this always perplexing, & always been different.? Anyway lets see?
I suspect few members will relate to this type, as I don't really know anyone else who is like this except my late father & partially my late brother?

I am entirely anti-hive minded, anti-group think, anti-"group sync". Too many people with too many ideologies with too many "wants & needs."
I associate hive-mindedness, group think, and group sync with ideologies and social rules that one must be one way or the other - adopt and adhere to the social rules and ideologies that prevail in any particular tribal group of people.
I have no need of people and wish they would all just go away, except for the few that I find OK. That's because I do not identify with groups of people. Activism, politics, etc - that's all toxic to me as are the people that engage in those activities.
"An otrovert is characterized by a deep emotional independence and a preference for individuality over group conformity. Unlike introverts, who primarily recharge through solitude, or extroverts, who gain energy from social interactions, otroverts are defined by their inability or unwillingness to align with collective identities, norms, or groupthink. They thrive in one-on-one interactions and are often empathetic, observant, and original thinkers, but they feel alienated or uncomfortable in large groups, where they experience a sense of loneliness despite some being sociable."
yes & is there a cure, or perhaps ideal_vert

I thought there was something wrong with my personality or my way of thinking because I always conflicted with the way of thinking of people around me, including my family, because they follow society in everything without thinking or expressing a special point of view on the issues presented, which made me prefer to remain isolated and enjoy what I consider appropriate for my personality.

From a psychological standpoint, what you're describing is a valid.
It is completely normal and healthy to not feel the need to belong to a group. The desire for individuality and the ability to find contentment in one's own company or in deep, meaningful connections with a select few is a sign of a strong sense of self.
As one myself, I encourage you to embrace it as a true strength and the core of your authentic self.

Being an otrovert sounds less like a personality type and more like a preliminary release of human software. As if evolution had launched an open beta: neither introvert nor extrovert, but an experimental build that rejects groupthink. And of course, like any beta, no one knows whether to file bug reports or celebrate it as a feature. Maybe the true destiny of the otrovert is to remind us that humanity also needs patches of authenticity.
