Just how important is community and connection to others? How much difference does access to a community or finding the \u2018right\u2019 people make?   

Can the value be over-hyped? Are people concretely Introverted or Extroverted, or is there more to it? Why do some of us feel just as comfortable around people as we do alone for long periods of time?   

We explore these questions in episode 281 of the With Joe Wehbe Podcast\u2026 having previously built a formal community and tapped into different kinds of communities, we cross-reference personal experience and observation with a lot of conventional wisdom and science to unpack this.    

We also explore nuance like expectations, relief-seeking, healthy reliance on and relationships with others, and where we project personal challenges onto the need for community.    Within the episode show notes / Youtube description there are also links to other podcast episodes and blog pieces I\u2019ve written in the past with my views on this same topic, and some of the science or theories that formed old views about the importance and role of connection to others.
