Are you an introvert? Welcome to the club. You may have been told all your life that extroverts are better than you and are given more opportunities because they are out there more. Poppycock. If you're an introvert, embrace it.
Welcome to my first post. The reason I created this was to document my life as an introvert. I've always been told that it's better to be an extrovert than an introvert. You know what? I like being an introvert. Sure I may find being in a mingling situation rather frightening, but there's fun in being a wallflower and just observing people.

Have you ever tried being an introverted law student? Law is sometimes listed as a "good job" for introverts, because of the writing and research involved, at least in some legal jobs. You sure wouldn't ever guess this visiting a law school? Why should extroversion be equated with self-confidence?? They are NOT the same thing. An introvert can be self-confident. 25% is a sizeable minority? What about minority rights? We are forever trying to adjust to an extroverted society; why can't society adjust to us?? A great book, if only to educate your extroverted friends, is "The Introvert Advantage." Great book for all , with some good practical advice. Being an introvert is no problem - until you have to look for a job, get stuck on a professional shool campus for hours at a time, etc. Why are 20-somethings more extroverted (or do they just pretend to be to fit in??) Anyone been to China, or Japan, where we are considered desirable?
