INtroverts are not necessarily shy people. They replenish themselves and gain energy from being on their own, esp. after doing some very people-oriented activity like a party.<br /><br />Extroverted people, OTOH, are those who replenish themselves by talking with others.<br /><br />It is a very interesting topic and helped me see which of my behaviors were 'introverted' and which are because i AM shy and need some social practice.<br /><br />If you are interested here are a few sites to get you started:<br /><br />http://hiddengiftsoftheintrovertedchild.com/being-an-introvert <br /><br />http://l-pawlik-kienlen.suite101.com/the-introvert-a13661<br /><br />http://giftedkids.about.com/od/glossary/g/introvert.htm<br /><br />http://jerrybrito.org/post/6114304704/top-ten-myths-about-introvertsKarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182813079850508907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7420872772406081253.post-11157176254538672972011-11-15T05:47:31.921-08:002011-11-15T05:47:31.921-08:00It's all so frustrating, isn't it?
