This is definitely an article that I can relate to. Being an introvert, I sometimes find it funny how I can converse so well online, and yet the same eloquence does not come out when speaking face to face. Hopefully this book can clear up some misunderstandings about us introverts.

Wow, that’s some amazing research. I would never have guessed that there’s such a difference in the actual brain function of introverts and extroverts. That makes a lot of sense though. I think it’s better to pause before speaking anyway. People respect that.

Thank you for sharing this article about the differences between extroverts and introverts. If you are a person who gets nervous talking to unfamiliar people, just try to relax. They are people, just like you!

I chuckle at myself recalling the humor I had experienced during one of our meetings. We were sitting around in a circle, brainstorming, when suddenly I was caught off-guard by our Committee Coordinator, asking for my idea on the subject matter. One problem and has become a habit is thinking too much – so in depth that you cannot fish them out of your ocean. And then, getting your attention which was uncalled for turns your head blank for losing focus. Having said that, all the fishes went back down the water! In return, I can’t think of anything to say or was slow to let a word out. This led our Coordinator to finally reply, “Wait a sec. She is still buffering.” and the crowd went silent. In the end, I had said nothing, and after the meeting, all the ideas came jumping back in the net again!

I agree so much here. I’ve noticed when I talked I use a lot of body language to help accompany my fluttering words lol. I either pantomime or completely turn my sentence in word salad (Not really but it’s filled with stuff I didn’t mean to say). Halfway through I notice I’m messing up which slows me down and makes me mess up even more! But yes I understand there seems to be this urge to reply almost instantly when asked a question even when I know I have to formulate what I think first. But just curious (wanted to see if I was the only one who did this), since you do the pantomime thing as well. Do you make “weird” noises or sounds to help accompany your stories? Most of the time I respond to people I usually do this because I feel it happening one way. So instead of it being words its more of a noise that projects said feeling. This way even though my words aren’t making sense hopefully my actions and accompanying sounds will.

Yes, they may not stop to consider at all that there are other VALID, NORMAL styles.

Thanks, I think the hardest part has been for the ones I work closely with, to understand my needs. But I think it is often difficult for extroverts to accept other communication styles since the majority of America are extroverts.

Jewels – that is perfect. For three weeks I’ve been intending to write a post about that very subject, how I made a huge mistake more than once by treating people as I wanted to be treated, when really I needed to treat them according to THEIR personality. Yep, I’ve had bosses who deleted all of their emails – couldn’t be bothered with all those details!
