I came across this very interesting question on Quora asking " Why introverted people don't use social media? " I am sharing my thoughts based on research I've come across that can help us understand the relationship between a very important personality trait and social media usage.

The author was correct in pointing out that extroverts use social media more than introverts (Recent studies do indicate a positive impact of extraversion and social media use). However it depends on the context and the results have been mixed.

I am sharing a few reasons below based on research on personality and social media usage.
