Intro vs Extro (verts)

2003-03-19 21:45:35.491292+01 by Shawn 0 comments

Ted Leung references some musings over at mamamusings about introverts and extroverts and shares a bit of his own opinion. Both also link to an article in The Atlantic.

I've always considered myself an definite introvert, but I find myself identifying with many of the extroverted viewpoints expressed in these comments as well. Most especially the frustration I feel in recent years at K's refusal to discuss issues verbally. And I found extremely enlightening the observation that introverts don't vocalize thoughts until they are complete and/or finalized - which describes her to a "T". In the end, I must agree with Ted's final comment that "you can't go on not talking to people forever", however.
