I didn't quite say that.

There's social pressure to be extroverted in the US-- but there are a lot of unhappy introverts. There's social pressure to be introverted in other places (Great Britain?), but for all I know there are a lot of squelched-feeling, lonely extroverts.

I live in Ireland, and the social pressure in favor of extraversion is at least as great as in the United States.
