Whatever kind of introvert you are, some people will find you 'too much' in some ways and 'not enough' in others.

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

America is a noisy culture, unlike, say, Finland, which values silence. Individualism, dominant in the U.S. and Germany, promotes the direct, fast-paced style of communication associated with extraversion. Collectivistic societies, such as those in East Asia, value privacy and restraint, qualities more characteristic of introverts.

An extrovert is more likely to share immediate reactions and process information through conversation.

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

Introverts often assume what's inside is visible on the outside. We don't have to invent or fake the emotion; we just need to allow it to be seen!

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