I’m not sure extroverts require extreme validation, which any performing introvert absolutely requires to make the effort worth it.

I’m with you - I’ve been waiting to recapture the “I’ve had a rough year, dad” feels for almost a quarter century now. I’m in no way willing to dismiss his post-Aquatic work - Budapest and FMFox are wonderful, wonderful movies -  but it’s definitely lighter on the impactful human moments these days.
