So having socializing is a fun game may actually go against some peoples wishes? AM6 does have extroversion training Im fairly sure.
By definition, an extrovert feels recharge around people, and an introvert recharges in his/her own company.
Can introverts socialize have a blast, and feel absolutely awesome? Why not.
Can extroverts have social anxiety that limits them to fully express themselves? Again, why not.
Socialization is beyond introvert and an extrovert, but if you try to be an extrovert to improve your social skills, you put unnecessary expectations and pressure on yourself which leads to awkwardness. But if you embrace your introversion and then work on dropping down your shields and become accepting of people. That's where the magic happens. It all boils down to knowing who you are.
I'll give you another example. An alpha male, what is the one of the many characteristic that comes to your mind when you imagine an alpha male? Dominance, isn't? But what if someone is sexually submissive? Now isn't it conflicting? It is, but it is not. Sooner or later, you learn the balance. Same goes with socialization, it doesn't matter if you are an extrovert or an introvert, you will eventually learn the balance and be comfortable in every situation being truly who you are. The thing is, in my experience, AM 6 take you too far in one direction since the primary focus is you. And therefore, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, that is AM 6, when it comes down to social mastery.
