Introversion is not a disease

Andrew Sullivan linked to this older article by Jonathan Rauch. I'm not sure how many extroverts I even know anymore, but if it happens that I've ever offended you in some way, please try to love me anyhow.

Sharpest observation:
"We [introverts] tend to think before talking, whereas extroverts tend to think by talking, which is why their meetings never last less than six hours."

My new mantra: "I'm not rude, I'm just a misunderstood introvert." I don't need a hug or anything.
