Can Extroverts and Introverts accept one another and successfully coexist in our society?

Background: I shaved my head a white female in a rural town. Easily 90% of people whether the know me or not exhibit shock and immediately afterward betray a swift but strong emotional response. If engaged in conversation for any reason that is what they are predominately preoccupied with. Many go out of their way to engage me for the purpose of inquiring. My conclusion is a strong confirmation of conformism in our individualistic non conformist society.

Reading the book Quiet by Susan Cain.

The focus of image projection and selling oneselves, we are told how to market our bodies with successful advertisement. We are also taught to judge people immediately based on appearance and presentation.

Between ½ and ⅓ of American’s are introverts. But many try to adapt or are taught to be ashamed of such the characteristic. Many are encouraged to change to achieve what is acceptable success. Are the results worth selling ourselves? When did selling ourselves amount to conformism? Especially American’s who supposedly revere the ideal of individualism. The budlight human’s: Watered down and bland but the comfortable feeling of home.

Is it time for the death of the salesmen? Can extroverts and introverts coexist in this society? Will any one dismiss the necessity of either group?

Can we dramatically shift or force the shift in ourselves or those closest to us to conform to societies current view of success without doing damage to the individual and what about society?

In a nation where the resounding chant is acceptance and tolerance how is the discrepancy in values due to blatent hypocrisy or just ignorance?

I want any jelly whether they self identify as extrovert, introvert or ambivert to give any thoughts this post triggered in them.
