For some reason this article really struck a chord. I think it has to do with my recent recurring bout of the”Recurring Existential Crisis Virus” or RECV. Being an introvert, this crisis naturally happens quite often. Fortunately, to a certain degree, I actually look forward to having an RECV and I’ve even found my trigger mechanism (reading religous or philosophical books) that causes (or cures) my RECV.
So, in a way,I look forward to RECV because it gives me a bit of a high. What is great though, is that this is the first time I’ve linked my introversion to my frequent bouts of RECV. I think if I had a deeper understanding of this ego-introversion-RECV link, then I could greater requlate it and avoid the deep lows that come along with the great highs.
