[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is flat affect considered problematic? I’m in my 40’s, happy and successful. I’ve always been somewhat shy and reserved, maybe some would consider me “flat”. Why does society think everyone needs to be outgoing and gregarious, be the life of the party, put on a happy face all the time, or else they’re depressed and spectrummy? Some of us are natural introverts and not inclined to share every detail of our lives with strangers. Why is that a problem? Read the book “Quiet”.[/quote] Flat affect is not the same thing as being shy and reserved and has nothing to do with whether you want to share details of your life with strangers.[/quote]
