This is getting disturbing… (and I just got my shirt from Threadless. It’s so cute!)
- Introverts tend to take time to absorb information before commenting or offering thoughts and opinions (that’s why they don’t say much in a crowd or at a business meeting).
- There is scientific evidence that indicates that an introvert’s brain actually processes information differently than an extrovert’s. Really, there’s a ton of research - just do a web search or head for the library.
-Introverts do not like unexpected visitsĀ
- If you get an introvert to speak up about something they know a lot about, or feel passionate about, they may rival an extrovert in ability to talk at length. But introverts aren’t generally comfortable with small talk.
- Introversion, like any other trait we are born with, is not a choice. It just is. Or to quote Jonathon Rauch, “It’s an orientation”.
- Introverts are not miserable and they don’t need to be converted.
- Most introverts do not enjoy talking a lot on the phone (thank God for email).
