Very nice! And very true! I am more of an introvert than anything, but my current job forces me to be outgoing, wich is difficult. =)

I too am primarily an introvert in overall nature but I do get into extroverted phases especially during maniac states. In the past I have found myself in jobs requiring me to be 100% extroverted all of he time and it is tiring. It is also the reason I had to reevaluate my career, taking this into account, for a better fit.
I had to laugh though about the couples who argue over the phone, one likes to answer all the time and one says to let it go. I am always that "let it go" person in the relationship and have usually dated people who must answer it; many discussions over this. It was a good chuckle. Thanks! |

"Oh, come on!" That's an unacceptable response to my polite refusal to participate in something that doesn't look fun. And if you grab my arm and try to drag me into it, I am not responsible for my actions. I promise you, expletives will occur.
Amen!

Extroverts turn outward. Introverts turn inward. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?...earchmode=none
Extroverts seem to have an innate advantage in enjoying life. Does this truism belie the assertion all persons are created equal? Is there a design error? I expect there are trade-offs. Even so, as an unproven hypothesis, it seems the introvert has to work harder to bring meaning into his/her life. |

Define "enjoying life". That's like saying space exploration is more enjoyable than undersea? Obviously not to the person doing undersea exploration!

It is? I will make a note of that.
Many articles talk about the advantages of having a solid social base. That said, I am not implying introverts cannot be as or more happy than introverts. http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lif...introvert.html In any event, I do not intend to engage you further. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
