A gentle reminder from the book 📖
“วิธีหนึ่งในการรวบรวมความกล้าเพื่อตัดสินใจเรื่องใหญ่ๆ คือ สัญญาว่าคุณจะให้อภัยตัวเองหากเลือกเส้นทางผิด”
– จากหนังสือ Open When... | Dr. Julie Smith
Otroverts? Psychiatrists just discovered a new personality type.
For decades, they told us there were only two boxes.
You are either an Introvert or an Extrovert.
But what if you never fit into either?
What if you are highly social, but you still feel like a perpetual outsider?
Psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski coined a term for the people who defy the binary.
The Otrovert.
Society is built on the "Hive Mind."
You are supposed to crave the tribe.
You are supposed to want to "belong."
But the Otrovert is fundamentally wired differently.
Here is how you know if you are one:
1. You are social, but not communal.
Introverts drain their battery around people.
Extroverts get energy from people.
Otroverts are perfectly fine in a room full of people.
They can be charismatic and popular, but they never actually feel like part of the group.
You thrive in one-on-one connections, but the moment it becomes a "crowd," you feel like an alien observing a different species.
2. You don’t follow the crowd.
Most people naturally auto-sync with the emotional wave of a room.
If the crowd is angry, they get angry.
If the crowd panics, they panic.
The Otrovert does not sync.
Your internal identity remains completely independent of the collective temperature.
You observe the emotion without absorbing it.
3. You are immune to blind loyalty.
You do not care for corporate culture.
You do not care for political cults.
"Because everyone else is doing it" is the fastest way to make you walk in the opposite direction.
For years, people who don't fit the mold have been told something is wrong with them.
They've been called aloof.
They've been told to be a "team player."
But otherness is not a flaw.
It is a superpower.
In a world that is easily manipulated by tribalism, outrage, and group panic, the person who doesn't need the tribe is the most dangerous person in the room.
If you don't crave the validation of the consensus, your mind is free.
You cannot be controlled by the crowd.
If you are this third type of personality, you are not an outcast.
You are a Sovereign Rebel Leader.
Every week, I write a newsletter specifically for people like us.
People who’ve realized that 99% of success comes from unlearning all the bs we’ve been fed.
People who are building a lean business without the copycat marketing or bloated teams.
People who offer an alternate solution than what the mainstream provides.
If you don't belong to the hive, you belong here.
