The special introvert in your life

Caring for your Introvert is a funny, partly tongue-in-cheek and partly serious commentary on introverts in our very extroverted society. I always had a feeling I was slightly different than a lot of people around me, and it’s because I’m in the minority of personality types. Most people are extroverts and our society is kind of set up more for that type.

I’m the kind of person who needs a lot of time alone to think and to recharge my batteries. I like a good party and I’m perfectly sociable, but after a night out with a group of people I’m definitely exhausted. And I really prefer a deep one-on-one conversation with a good friend about something I feel really passionate about. I actually get along famously with extroverts, most of my close friends are extroverts, and there’s nothing I like better than to listen to them talk on and on.

So are there any other introvert readers out there? What did you think of the article?

And if you’re not sure of your own type, check out my post about personality tests here.
