Just a thing to keep in mind. The personality of many orders is subject to change from house to house. With Canons, Oratorians, monks, and a few outliers, like the Norbertines, the personality of the community has a “what you see is what you get” deal. I’m feel drawn to monastic life with the Monks of Clear Creek Abbey. They celebrate the EF and are truly monastic. I’d encourage to the examine the “requirements” and place them in order of importance. Then find communities the best fit you with the requirement. Often times we don’t know exactly what we’re looking for at first, but we have an idea. I was the furthest from discerning monasticism being the extrovert I am, but every community needs a balance. Food for thought.
