In Defense of Introverts [Procrastinate on This]
As someone who qualifies myself as a “loud introvert,” I really appreciated this video. It says that basically introversion is on a spectrum, and that people (including introverts themselves) are very prejudiced toward people who are on it.
It’s also worth clicking through to take the quiz about whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, or a combination of both.

I’m a fan of Cain and have read her book. I think introverts are definitely undervalued and worse, too often seen as “weird,” by others in our extroverted society. After reading Cain’s book, I stopped apologizing for being who I am, and it’s made all the difference to me. Thanks for keeping the conversation going! http://crystalspraggins.blogspot.com/2012/11/extroverts-are-people-too.html
Crystal, am loving your blog. At our house we have the opposite problem. Two introverted parents, one extroverted toddler. She never tires of company and wants to go out, out, out every weekend. We’ll see how this all plays out…
Hi Ernessa, I just read your reply TODAY, after finding it during a routine Google search (seeing what’s out there about me, you know??) I read your article about standing in line behind old people, and I am ashamed to say found it to be hilarious.
