    I love that the extroverts come in here to "fix" the introverts by just telling us to be more social and outgoing. Sure, I'll get right on that as soon as you guys stop being so loud, pushy, condescending, smug and boorish, thinking everyone wants to know what you think all the time and telling others how to live. Maybe it's you extroverts that need fixing.

    I only know of one instance where a heated internet conversation caused one person to travel across the U.S. to burn down the house of the other person. I've lost count of the instances where a heated internet conversation caused one person to hunt and kill a nearby person. Introvert, extrovert, polite, or crude, just don't go too far with insulting.

    Who is trying to "fix" anyone? You are not very nice, for an introvert....

    I never get that feeling from extroverts. If anything, I like having them around to carry the conversation so I don't have to..heh.

    I'm naturally introverted and had to work hard as a younger man to make it through cocktail parties and the like. They're still not my favorite thing. I prefer time alone or with a couple of friends. My wife still laughs when I'm in a situation full of women who are all talking because I basically shut down. I just can't keep up with more than one conversation at a time.

    I am very introverted. I spend most of my time alone.
    I am a natural leader. I am NOT antisocial or shy, don't have social anxiety or low self esteem(anymore). I don't hate positive people or any people. (actually I enjoy observing people), I don't chose to hang around negative people, because those people are not healthy to be around. And generally I don't find it too difficult to join a discussion IRL or on a public forum.

    Introverts come in lots of different personalities. They often do well in leadership positions, are hard workers, have plenty of friends, go to social events and parties, and can interact socially both in person and on the internet.

    The difference between an introvert and an extrovert is where they get their energy. Introverts need time alone to recharge after being in the world. Extroverts lose energy when they are alone to much.

    That's it.

    Susan Cain's books and TED talk are worth a look if you are introverted or are the friend of an introvert.
