If so, do you tell this person he is "too serious," or ask if he is okay? Regard him as aloof, arrogant, rude? Redouble your efforts to draw him out?

If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you have an introvert on your hands—and that you aren't caring for him properly.]]>

Same with me. And, chatterers annoy me too. I guess because I'm no good at it. I also think I'm a bit introverted on the internet. Is that possible?]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q18
I go out to socialize every once in a while. My friends have gotten use to seeing me every couple of months for the past few years and they seem fine with that.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q17
After 8 years, she stills thinks she can get me to come out my shell. That I just need to get out more. I tell her that would drive me to insanity.

Not quite sure if she doesn't understand that, or is hoping I'm correct.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q16« dollyllama : I'm ok in small groups, for a little while. I hate crowds and anywhere I have to make small talk.What I hate are chatterers, people who insist on yapping, people who are uncomfortable with lingering silences. Shut up! Enjoy the peaceful drive or the lapping waves or the breeze through the leaves and stop yakking. I don't need to be entertained, and you don't need to be "on" all the time. (Not you, dolly. The generic "you.")

I don't know if I'm an introvert or just an a*****e. Either way, just shut up.

how does he know that? is he hiding in there rooms when there alone documenting there behaviour?]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q13http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q12« rambler : Behind the screen of anonimity provided by our keyboards, the "inner extrovert" in all of us feels safe to escape and roam in the plimespace...Couldn't agree more. The internet is a place where I can truly express myself to a degree far more than I'd be able to normally. Then again, as an introvert with a touch of Asperger's, I'm not very social anyhow.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q11http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q10http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q9
with regard to the whole writing/introvert discussion - i would bet that most authors out there are introverts.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q8« rambler : Behind the screen of anonimity provided by our keyboards, the "inner extrovert" in all of us feels safe to escape and roam in the plimespace...Expressed beautifully. I took the Myers-Briggs test and am, accordingly, an introvert. I wondered how I could feel so free to speak out on the computer.

I'm ok in small groups, for a little while. I hate crowds and anywhere I have to make small talk.

An ex-boyfriend said I had low self-esteem. I couldn't figure it out, now I know it's because I hated being the center of attention and he loved it.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q7« rambler : Behind the screen of anonimity provided by our keyboards, the "inner extrovert" in all of us feels safe to escape and roam in the plimespace...Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...

that's weird right?]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q4« subobisis : I am also an introvert.Not on the keyboard.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q3http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/35340/1/rss0_91.rss#q2Extroverts therefore dominate public life. This is a pity. If we introverts ran the world, it would no doubt be a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place. As Coolidge is supposed to have said, "Don't you know that four fifths of all our troubles in this life would disappear if we would just sit down and keep still?"True wisdom.

Of course I am an introvert too, I can only behave so extrovertly from behind the anonimity of my laptop keyboard. (My wife doesn't necessarily agree, she thinks I talk too much sometimes. And too little at other times. Maybe I'm sort of bipolar?)]]>
