Why the world needs introverts

:wave:
One of my friends sent me this article by email, as essentially I'm an introvert who is on occasion mistaken for an extrovert
I kind of wish someone had written and sent me this article when I was about 12 years-old, but at the same time, there does seem to be something amiss...so I was wondering what you guys think...

ETA: I'm all for introspection, but it has to be done honestly and with one eye always looking out for demagoguery.

0 ·It ties in for me with the second part of the article. I'm an extrovert- I love being around people and need that buzz- but I'm really very shy in real life.

0 ·I'm incredibly introspective in my thoughts, yet I can be a total show off creatively and I dress flamboyantly...theres not polar opposites

0 ·Up until then I always believed something was wrong with me. I'm glad that the whole introvert thing is becoming a bit more public again as an issue. Many of my friends have no interest in MBTI, and just don't seem to understand that I like to be alone, and I like to think about things a lot.
I don't need them to drag me out of my shell, in fact that way lies the road to ruin. :rolleyes:
