Are influencers more extroverted or introverted?

However, there is a basic genetic disposition. Some see a promise in everything "new". Others see it not as an opportunity but as a danger. Such basic attitudes are essentially directed by neurochemistry. In addition, the release of the activating neurotransmitter dopamine decreases with advancing age, whereas the release of the stress hormone cortisol increases. This makes people more cautious, encourages routines and mitigates any rebelliousness in later years.
