		<description>I really enjoy your site and think you would appreciate the book, Party of One, by Anneli Rufus. It&#039;s kind of a history and celebration of the introvert and &quot;loner&quot; in western society. Also, there is MTV&#039;s Daria series, which is great for unwinding after working with extraverts all day. There are many parallels with the work world despite the pre-facebook and cell phone, high school setting.</description>

		<description>For a long time, I have wondered why I write, think, and feel as I do--and why it seems discordant with the rest of the world. With some recent and long overdue insight into what introversion truly means, I have only just begun to understand.

From the few articles I have read, I can tell that your thought patterns are not unlike mine. Much of your writing even resembles mine--although you have developed your introverted mind and ideas much more than I have.

I suspect I will find further insight as I read more of your writings and I thank you in advance.</description>

		<description>Ha ha.

I&#039;d think extroverts would be more prone to complaining and arguing in face to face interactions.

Introverts are going to be more likely to bottle it up and hold a grudge.

  If you wanted to use a loaded term, I suppose you could use the word, &#039;sulk.&#039;  Except sulking is a more conspicuous public pouting behavior I&#039;d associate with an extrovert trying to get their way.  Sitting in the corner looking gloomy/scowling is a means of fishing for sympathy and getting attention.
Most introverts will try to hide feelings of irritation and anger.  The closest thing you&#039;re going to find to a quality introvert sulk is a few blogs and discussion boards.
Except, most of these sites are aimed at a primarily introvert audience.  Most introverts aren&#039;t going to lobby for the attention of the larger population.  We&#039;re not going to go on talk shows and shout to the world how &#039;oppressed&#039; we are.  Actually, most of us would dread being in the spotlight.</description>

		<description>It bothers me all the time that there must be kids out there growing up just like I did.  Now that I&#039;m an adult, I feel I&#039;m failing them just as my elders failed me.

Its not just the noise its the hurry.  There&#039;s few things I hate like rushing.  When one must rush it means you&#039;re either a slave to someone else, that you&#039;ve mismanaged your affairs, or both.

It&#039;s got to be even harder to deal with all the commotion since you&#039;re an empath.</description>

		<description>I never studied sociology, but not too far off.  My field was history.

Reading about these kinds of subjects is pure fun, so I&#039;ve taught myself a few things.
Actually, I think it&#039;s a waste to learn something from a teacher you&#039;d never want to teach yourself.  Otherwise, no further growth potential when the class is passed.</description>

		<description>As a fellow introvert I agree with your premises, here. I would like to ask, as you seem very knowledgable on the topic of society and its functionings in general, if you by any chance studied sociology in college?</description>

		<description>Yes! I am a school librarian and an extreme introvert. I imagined the quiet, peaceful book-oriented libraries of my childhood when I entered the field. But my library is in the center of an open school layout, with 600 kids and 100 staff members constantly coming in and out, and as an introvert, I suffer terribly from my work. Constant noise and confusion, a thousand demands, no nature, not even a window, no place to retreat for lunch. I hope to be able to leave it before I die, so I can die in peace! 

I feel for the kids who are like me. The constant stimulation must drive them nuts, and when they put their heads down on the desk, or refrain from speaking, they are hounded by teachers. 

Excellent blog, excellent post. Agree with commenter that John Taylor Gatto should be on your reading list, and hey, Ferengi credentials are a-ok with me. I&#039;m a betazoid, myself.
Best,
Puny</description>
