I am an extrovert. An extrovert by nature & even more so by nurture.
Any introverted traits were wrenched out years ago.
I've come to terms with being an extrovert, in spite of the fact that the people who seem the most persuasive are more introverted, non-verbal.
One of the interesting, disturbing things I've noticed over the past few years is how many older people seem to be introverts - including many that I suspect were anything but in their younger years.
Praise be for coming across Susan Cain & The Quiet Revolution. I don't want to flip my friends from where they are, if that's genuinely them. I look to Susan to help me understand a dynamic that's always been an envied enigma to me. To help my older friends to experience it as a tool rather than simply a default.
