Not introvert or extrovert: New Otrovert personality type is about feeling like an outsider, but there's a catch

The emerging personality type known as 'otrovert' refers to individuals who navigate social settings with ease, yet maintain a distinct psychological separation from any group affiliation. Unlike traditional categories like introverts or extroverts, otroverts do not revolve around social energy levels. They often prioritize independent thoughts and unique interests over conformity, providing a fresh perspective on those who feel like outsiders in social circles.
