Introverts aren't mentally ill, a "terrific" article, READ MORE.
Great article! Although I think some people may read more into it than is actually there. Just because I may "prefer" to communicate in writing in many situations (in order to be able to think things through adequately) does not mean I am socially inept or unable to carry on conversations.
I can easily start conversations with strangers, speak in front of large groups better than most extroverts I know, and mingle well at parties. But, after the party is over, I am drained -- and need time alone to recharge.
This was a terrific article -- some of the things described me so perfectly, and I hadn't even realized they were related to my introversion (such as my tendency to let the answering machine pick up the phone so I don't have to). Thanks!
