Don’t get mad at the introvert in your life for shutting down; as this illustration explains, it’s just their way of coping.

or introverts should just move to the woods. Nobody will miss them.
Since serial killers and mass shooters are all introverts, society needs to err on the side of caution and imprison you all anyways.
we CAN'T move to the damned woods, because you all keep expecting us to do ****.
Kindle will make librarians obsolete. Beyond that, we don't need you people.
yeah, because the research in this lab is just going to do itself.
PS : don't stop me to make small talk in the hallway while i'm trying to get my lunch, energy vampires.
An outgoing person can do it--they just won't keep it secret, Special Research Agent Helix. Surprised your mommy didn't pack your lunch so you wouldn't even have to go to the cafeteria with all them mean extraverts hanging about.
for your information, Count Dracula, i had a kickass Empire Strikes Back lunch box, and i ate in the lunchroom with the rest of you social butterflies.

Gee thanks Fisher. I am an introvert, and I hope that there is at least a couple of people who would miss me if I moved to the woods.
yep. finally, somebody gets it.

The part of that article that I find irritating is the assumption that extroverted people are the ones doing it 'wrong' and need to change the way they interact with introverted people. Why shouldn't introverts be the ones to change?
Or why shouldn't both sides find a compromise in the middle somewhere.
When dealing with introverts I like to sit really close to them or lean over their back and ask what they're eating...then ask them if it tastes like chicken.....then ask if they're going to finish it all. Sometimes I'll also ask if they always eat left handed.
because we really can't.
no one is asking extroverts to change, just to understand.
sure, absolutely. most introverts compromise already, though. i do it every day. at work, with small talk that makes me nervous. i have that rare moment when it comes naturally, but it only lasts a few sentences, and then my throat dries up. i compromise fronting a band, which requires a couple drinks to get onstage even fifteen years in. i compromise when i go to special events in which, when i got the invitation, my first thought was "oh no," even though i kind of want to go.
it's an extrovert's world. i love extroverts, and am a wannabe extrovert myself. however, the article serves mostly to explain why we introverts aren't weird, just wired differently. sorry if you took my joshing around as genuine dislike for extroverts. i don't dislike them, but sometimes i get stressed out when different groups of friends are curious as to why i can't go to events multiple days in a row and just need a couple nights at home by myself to recharge.
If introverts can't change the way they are, why do they assume that extroverts can?
I'm not saying you are, but the article certainly was. The last third of it was instructions for how an extrovert should interact with an introvert.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to knock you in particular or introverted people in general. I'm not the most extroverted person in the world either, I definitely need my alone time, so I do understand where you're coming from.
The internet has helped me become a lot less introverted than I once was. At one point I was painfully shy...now in real life I'm just a tad shy. More apprehensive than shy.
People have called me introverted before, but I think they mistook my silence for introversion. I just like to people watch until I figure out who is worth interacting with.
I think I linger between extroverted and anti social. Haha
Better to be quiet and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I'm far from being a fool, Thanks.
