what stood out for me in that heavily biased article:

Quote:
Remember, someone you know, respect, and interact with every day is an introvert, and you are probably driving this person nuts. It pays to learn the warning signs.

hmmmmm....... is this a sign?

Quote:
"It is very difficult for an extrovert to understand an introvert," write the education experts Jill D. Burruss and Lisa Kaenzig. ~snip~ Extroverts are easy for introverts to understand, because extroverts spend so much of their time working out who they are in voluble, and frequently inescapable, interaction with other people.
I wouldn't be so sure about this part. There are varying degrees of introversion and extroversion. It's not a black and white thing, and while extroverts will tip their hand before an introvert will, it might be frontage only.

As often as I have tried to explain the matter to extroverts, I have never sensed that any of them really understood. They listen for a moment and then go back to barking and yipping.
yeah, I hear what you're saying, but whatever!...let's go party!
