Should we become so proficient at self-presentation that we can dissemble without anyone suspecting?

I actually find extroversion to be a really appealing personality style.

The pressure to entertain, to sell ourselves, and never to be visibly anxious keeps ratcheting up.

Many people believe that introversion is about being antisocial, and that's really a misperception. Because actually it's just that introverts are differently social. So they would prefer to have a glass of wine with a close friend as opposed to going to a loud party full of strangers.

I'm continually amazed by how many people who appear to be extroverts are actually introverts.

Your tendency to be inward-directed or outward-directed is huge; it governs every part of the way you live and work and love.

Introverts often work more slowly and deliberately. They like to focus on one task at a time and can have mighty powers of concentration . They're relatively immune to the lures of wealth and fame.
