I would image a lot of the main keywords are taken up by larger sites? What sort of keywords brings in traffic to your site?

Hi Susan,

Over 2 years ago I was part of Reddit's biggest introvert community /r/introvert

At the time there was a lot of posts that were much more suited for /r/socialanxiety and /r/socialskills, and there were constant threads from people saying they didn't feel comfortable associating their introversion with being socially anxious or shy.

Example

So I created a new sub reddit for introverts that would keep the topic around introversion and direct social anxiety / social skill topics to the relevant subs. Launch post here

As you can see, it caused a lot of angry discussion around the topic.

The new sub has gone relatively well, there's been some good topics about introversion and i'm proud that there's a home for introverts who weren't comfortable with the old system.

However

I soon realised the difficulty of trying to set rules and guidelines on what introversion is and what should be posted, because ultimately it's extremely hard to set rules on personality traits that are accurate and universally accepted.

My question to you is, have you encountered this difficulty in the build up to this revolution and what do you feel is the best way of dealing with it during this revolution?

I know there's labels for different types of introverts, should these always be put on content about introverts so people can know "right i'm not that type of introvert, so that probably doesn't relate to me"?

Thanks Susan, your work has allowed me to understand myself and allowed me to become a proud and confident individual.

And here's a link to the quiet revolution that's mentioned in the OP

Do you think it's better to build a world first, or start with a character / story and let it expand from there? Maybe even a mix of both
