They crave connection but struggle with belonging due to an innate sense of alienation from collective norms

Unlike traditional introverts or extroverts, otroverts often mask their introversion with pseudo-extroverted behaviors as a survival mechanism

They are independent thinkers who value authenticity and can feel like outsiders even when participating in social events

Otroverts form intense, intuitive bonds with people one-on-one, understanding others profoundly, but find collective sentiments, or mob mentalities exhausting

They are not motivated by group acceptance or fear of rejection; instead, they value their independence and self-sufficiency

While friendly and empathetic, they remain emotionally detached from group dynamics, resisting conformity and "groupthink"
