When a quiet introvert talks, heads turn, and that's power.

Quiet is might. Solitude is strength. Introversion is power.

If you ask an introvert a question, wait until she thinks about it. Introverts think before speaking, not through speaking. If you want to get to the good stuff, you need to slow down.

One of the best places for a shy person to meet people is in a coffee shop. If you are a reader, bring a book and read it there - that gives a guy something to ask you about. Same goes for sketching, writing, or any hobby you can take with you.

This is why it is sometimes hard for introverts to find words: we really hate to compromise, and words are always a compromise.

If the extrovert watches and listens a bit more, the introvert's true mood will become more evident.

With public speaking, practicing congruence is very helpful - allowing the words to be expressed with the face and body. It helps to think of simply "turning up the nonverbal volume."
