I'd guess that it's because introverts are inclined towards exploring that inner world. Most of an actor's job isn't gladhanding the fans; it's *thinking* about the role they're going to play. Small talk isn't a forced behavior; it's default for extroverts. I would go so far as to say most introverts are putting on a performance, much of the time. That's the entire reason they're exhausted by it: it's *work* and they have to put *effort* into it, so of course they need downtime from it, like any job. If it happens to pay, as well, that's basically a bonus.

With the voice actor thing, you're definitely on the money. But I watch a lot of anime and can recognize someone's voice across a lot of the anime, and I've watched interviews with them etc. When I went to Comic Con this year I was surprised that the voice actors from My Hero Academia had so little people in their lines, but I realized (like you both mentioned) that it's a recognizability thing. You may recognize the voice, but you don't see their faces so it's hard to know who's who.

Just this last summer, I played a very extroverted character in a play, and it was great. It's weird how I can pretend to be an extrovert in front of like 150 people and have have a blast, but when I need to be extroverted more one on one, I freak out and communicate in single syllables.

Okay, now I have to tell my favorite long joke. Except that it's way to long for a comment, so rather than actually telling it I'll just explain it, so as to not set a record for the longest KZitem comment ever. It's about a guy with a friend named Joe, and Joe seems to know everyone else that they meet. The guy remarks on this, and Joe claims that he actually is friends with everyone. The guy doesn't believe this, and begins testing him with progressively more famous people and each time it turns out that they actually do know Joe. The punch line comes when they fly to Rome to see the pope and are just in the crowd when the pope comes out to bless the people in the courtyard below, sees Joe, and invites him up so that they can catch up. When Joe gets back down to his (other) friend he finds him passed out on the ground. After reviving him Joe asks him what happened, and he goes through the whole list of people that Joe has proven that he is friends with, expressing his increasing surprise at each, all the way up to the pope, and finishes with "But when a man asked me, 'who's that guy up on the balcony talking to Joe ...'"

15:00 the difference between being an introvert and an extrovert is the environments that recharge your internal battery, and which drains it. My brother must be with people for some time or he goes crazy. I go crazy if I am with people for too much time without being alone. We are both very personable people and get along fine with people, but he is an extrovert and I am an introvert. You can only tell several hours into a party

I disagree. I have authors I've read and enjoyed a book or two from, but the I have authors I love, who have consistently wowed me with their work. When that happens (like with Stephen King, Sanderson, Dan Wells, Richard Matheson, etc) I actively seek other content from them. Mostly other novels and short stories, but I also find all their interviews and podcasts on KZitem. I don't tend to follow them on social media. I don't know what Stephen King tweets for example. But I have seen just about all his interviews if they were uploaded on KZitem to the point I know some of the go-to stories and answers he uses time after time almost by heart. I know what King will say if someone asks where he gets his ideas, or what he was like as a child. I know what Brandon will say if someone asks him how he got started or how he got into fantasy. The Mrs. Reader story. So on and so forth. Then again, I also am really obsessive with things I like. Meaning.. once I like something I want more and more and more of it. Once I got into D&D, I didn't just want to play the games. I wanted to read all the books and novels. I wanted to learn about Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. I wanted to know the history of TSR. Of course, with authors it may be a bit different for me. I also want to be an author. Otherwise, I may have sought out these podcasts because of Wells and Sanderson, but I wouldn't have sat through his hours of BYU lectures. But because I want to be a writer, I have watched them all multiple times. They may not be tiktok famous, but I think for some authors the engagement if different. I don't imagine people are checking for... idk. Pick any bargain bin novel writer. But, people definitely check for King, Sanderson and the lot.
