Introvert, her brain responds with a high level of activity, it is as if several lights start flashing on a control panel.

Though introverts are drained by interaction, we can take immense pleasure in watching the scene around us.

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

A shy kid might look longingly at other kids playing in the schoolyard, afraid and unsure about how to approach them, but an introvert is perfectly content on her own.

Introvert conversations are like jazz. Each player gets to solo for a nice stretch before the other player comes in and does his solo.

Extroverts want us to have fun, because they assume we want what they want. And sometimes we do. But "fun" itself is a "bright" word, the kind of word that comes with flashing lights and an exclamation point! One of Merriam-Webster's definitions of "fun" is "violent or excited activity or argument." The very word makes me want to sit in a dimly lit room with lots of pillows-by myself.
