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.

When an introvert is quiet, don't assume he is depressed, snobbish or socially deficient.

A good rule of thumb is that any environment that consistently leaves you feeling bad about who you are is the wrong environment.

For the introvert, conversation can be a very limited forum for self expression. When a song moves you, a writer gets you or a theory enlightens you, you and its creator are connecting in a realm beyond sight or speech.

Introverts process information internally, and we don't like to express our thoughts until they are fully formed.

Introverts are collectors of thoughts, and solitude is where the collection is curated and rearranged to make sense of the present and future.

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