And what would happen, I wonder, if you did fully participate?

I can say that for me, it is one reason I have been hesitant to fully participate in open space.

I had an interesting chat a few days ago with someone that identifies as an introvert. They made this statement which has me somewhat confused and perplexed - "Introverts do not like Open Space".

 

Now - I know that for the broadest definition of an introvert that is not true. Because I myself am an introvert and I love Open Space. Like all mental categories, introversion I assume is on a scale. So perhaps a better statement from this individual may have been - for more extreme introverts, Open Space can be uncomfortable and is not viewed as a safe environment for me to express myself. (I need to run this statement by said individual to see if they can confirm if this statement better represents their intention.)

 

Is this indeed true however? It is at least for one person I know. So my questions are:

- has anyone else encountered this opinion?

- If so, what percentage of the average population do you think would feel this way?

- Is there anything we can do to make these extreme introverts to feel comfortable and safe to share?

 

Any thoughts and advice appreciated.
