Never heard the term #otrovert before, but... Yeah, I am #ActuallyAuDHD and I'm very much an otrovert.

Finding out that I was an #otrovert was a revelation to me. Reading this book was even more revelatory (new word?).
This explains to me pretty much the whole story of my life, including why I see things the way do, why I can't understand why others sometimes can't see what seems obvious to me, and how I react /feel in various social settings.
It also enabled me to see why I made the life choices (career, family, spiritual) I did. It is pretty much spot on for every stage of my life! It would have been great if I had read this 60 years sooner!! 🤣
If you want to know what makes me (or any other otrovert) tick, read it! Here in Ao/NZ it's available as an ebook through the public library.
Also useful if you work with, live with, or want to spot an otrovert in the wild! -
I read a post from someone on LinkedIn yesterday, who had read "The Gift of Not Belonging" and boiled down the gist of being an #otrovert into a social media post.
And what bugged me was the number of people who jumped on it to say "that's totally me!".
I get that a lot of people want to find a way to fit into the world, and to find their 'tribe', but if you think that's a bunch of otroverts, you're barking up the wrong tree!

I read an interview w/ the psychiatrist Rami Kaminski about his theory of Otherness and a third type beside Extroverts and Introverts: the Otroverts. → https://taz.de/Psychiater-entdeckt-dritten-Persoenlichkeits-Typ-neben-introvertiert-und-extrovertiert/!6121550/
And #AuDHD comes to my mind.
The listed traits of Otroverts sound very familiar → https://www.othernessinstitute.com/traits-of-otherness/
I did their test and scored w/ 206 of 280 as an #Otrovert .
Who knew, I thought I'm just a regular AuDHD person.

You have 268/280 points.
You are an #Otrovert.
https://www.othernessinstitute.com/Explains a lot to me and I'm happy to have more "desease" on my personal "how crazy am I"-list.

I have just finished reading The Gift of Non-Belonging, and I am definitely an #otrovert
And while the book does a good job of explaining what that is, and what it means to be an otrovert - indeed, how wonderful it is that we exist and what more communal people can learn from us - I didn’t find it massively helpful on the topic of how to thrive as an otrovert in a world built by and for communal people.

Other half sent me this as they were reading it , got halfway down and realised it perfectly describes me.

"So if Introverts look inwards,
and Extroverts outwards,
where the hell do Otroverts look?
Neither of the above.
“Their fundamental orientation is defined by the fact that it is rarely the same direction that anyone else is facing.”
