Introverts vs Extroverts

I’ve found two articles on the differences between introverts and extroverts that I am really enjoying:

Here are some of my favorite quotes from these two articles:

  • Extroverts, we love you. We just don’t want to talk to you all the time.
  • I’m okay, you’re okay—in small doses.
  • 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. As often as I have tried to explain the matter to extroverts, I have never sensed that any of them really understood. They listen for a moment and then go back to barking and yipping.
  • The only thing a true introvert dislikes more than talking about himself is repeating himself.
