- Sizlak 16y agoSuch a great article though that all extroverts should be forced to reread it yearly until it sinks in.
- d2viant 16y agoI'm an introvert but I also understand it goes both ways. Some of my extroverted friends may need me to swing the pendulum more their way as well. It may be uncomfortable and draining for me to be that outgoing or engaged, but I think back to the situations in which I made a conscious effort to do so -- I seem to have grown a little bit each time I did.
- levesque 16y agoI will play the role of the guy who has never got the chance to read the article, although it is very old, and I will thank the poster!
- necubi 16y agoMe too. This so perfectly describes how I feel in social situations, and it's nice to hear somebody say "It's Ok! It's society that's screwed up, not you."
- gliese1337 16y agoAnd I've had it hanging on my wall ever since. Helps remind roommates and enlighten guests. Definitely warrants revisiting from time to time.
- tamersalama 16y agoSorry - unintentional repost.
- pastiche 16y agoIn case anyone wants to go more in-depth into the inner workings of an introvert, I highly recommend the book "Introvert Power" by Laurie Helgoe. The article sums up most of the basic points pretty nicely though.
