Quotes

Aug. 20, 2014

ByJenn Granneman August 20, 2014

That’s something I worry about – keeping up with the other person’s affection. What if they text, call or write me ten times a day? Do I have to reciprocate the same amount? Will that become old and exhausting? Another reason to be discriminating when dating.

Jenn Granneman

I’m the founder of Introvert, Dear, the world’s largest community for introverts. I’m also the co-author of SENSITIVE and the author of THE SECRET LIVES OF INTROVERTS. An educator and a journalist, I have been featured in the NY Times, the Washington Post, the BBC, and more. Since embracing my own introversion and sensitivity, I read too many self-help books and live a pleasantly boring life with my toddler son in Minnesota.
