[noun, adjective ot-truh-vert; verb ot-truh-vert]
Definition
An “otrovert” embodies the personality trait of “otherness” remaining an eternal outsider amidst humanity's shift from solitude to social connection through language. Unlike relational disorders, otroverts are empathetic and friendly, yet struggle to truly belong in social groups, despite no apparent behavioral distinctions from well-adjusted individuals.
Award-winning psychiatrist, Dr. Rami Kaminski, MD, uncovered throughout the course of his career that there was a certain character type that eluded recognition: an inherent inability to belong. Dr. Kaminski realized that contrary to neurodivergent individuals or those suffering from mental illness, otroverts are unfailingly social and empathic. He observed that the conflict between the natural human desire to belong and the inability to do so, causes unnecessary suffering and ostracism. Dr. Kaminski is determined to make space for otroverts by building awareness and acceptance about this unique human phenomenon.
