tulsigirl rated 3 months ago- This gave me insight into myself. I've been told that I'm selfish, unfriendly & need to "snap out of it". I didn't identify it as being introverted. Being bipoler, it has been hard to really know who I am, especially during manic phases that make it seem I'm extroverted. I'm quite content with being an introvert. It is those around me who aren't. This article explained & helped me understand that it isn't a problem for me. It is a problem for others concerning me. This is a part of me that I am completely comfortable with. I wasn't,I felt guilty and ashamed, but now, that I'm learning about it, I am. Just goes to show we continually grow & come to know ourselves thru the years. I am almost 61 & this being introverted is a new but wonderful concept for me.

- From the page: "Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?" Yes. Me. Although I'm not so sure about the dynamite presentation thing. And the growling and scowling... I've pretty much cured myself of that.

(February 14, 2006) A conversation with Jonathan Rauch, the author whoâ€"thanks to an astonishingly popular essay in the March 2003 Atlanticâ€"may have unwittingly touched off an Introverts' Rights revolution. Follow-up: The Introversy Continues Jonathan Rauch comments on reader feedback about introvert datingâ€"and poses a new question Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day?

- According to the statistics 25% of the general population, and 95% of Stumblers are introverts.

- "Extroverts have little or no grasp of introversion. They assume that company, especially their own, is always welcome. They cannot imagine why someone would need to be alone; indeed, they often take umbrage at the suggestion."

- Great discussion on introverts and the psychology behind them. Although I do believe that extroverts are well represented as the "face" of politics, entertainment, or business, it's the introverted personalities that still have the power behind the scenes. Without either type of personality, the world wouldn't be as diverse and interesting.

- As a closet-introvert I really enjoyed this article!
- Kaiserpingvin rated 9 months ago
- Describes introversion rather eminently, and such... ...But, man, he's got some very misdirected aggressions. Calm down, I say, there's room enough for 'the extroverts' too. And no, we're not smarter. Necessarily.
