Are you are an Otrovert?

Know the new trait redefining personality types: otroverts choose authenticity over belonging to groups

- Amisha Shirgave

For decades, the world has been divided into two broad personality types, introverts and extroverts. Introverts are known to recharge through solitude and quiet reflection, while extroverts thrive in the energy of social interaction. But what about those who feel they don’t quite belong to either group? Psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski has introduced a new term for this grey area: the otrovert.

An otrovert is described as someone who does not experience a deep sense of belonging to groups in the way extroverts or introverts typically do. Instead, they focus on forming authentic one-on-one bonds rather than immersing themselves in group dynamics. They can attend social events but often prefer to engage with only a few people instead of mingling widely. According to Dr. Kaminski, otroverts are often independent, creative, and emotionally self-sufficient, making them resilient in the face of challenges.
