The truth is, introverts often have little quirks like this — things that might seem strange to others but make total sense to us.

Our extroverted culture encourages a lot of behaviors that aren’t introvert-friendly — things that drive us up a wall.

When introverts socialize, they’re not looking for a way just to pass the time. They’re looking for a person with whom they can share their inner world.

When you’re a shy introvert, people often mistake your shyness for rudeness. The truth is, you’re just overthinking what to say.
