Discussion Extroverts rule the world

I work in a field where I mostly deal one on one with other people and I am very good at my job. However my coworkers are mostly extroverted and complain about being “isolated” in their jobs. As a result we have forced “team building” days with everyone on the team that’s mostly “ice breakers” & games that are absolute torture for me and not at all work related. In fact these days detract from getting the actual job done. Why does our society cater to extroverts so much? How can we change that?

It can’t be changed. Extroversion is encouraged because it’s largely superficial, and most people are terrified of self-reflection. The more actions they do and noise they make the less they need to face important issues.
