As an introvert I DO wish those who are not would realise a few things about us and make both their interactions with us a lot less stressful. 1 We are NOT lonely, we LIKE out own company and DONT want yours. 2 Dont invite us to group Social Activities as a refusal often offends. Stick your notice on the board or send a global e-mail. If we DO want to attend we will reply to that. Same applies to meetings unless about very serious issues or legally required 3 We prefer e-mail or IM to Phone or face to face, respect that 4 We are individualists and like to be left to get with it. If we need your advice or opinion we will politely ask for it and be grateful for your assistance. 5 If you have praise or criticism say it in private, we do not like being the centre of attention be it good or bad. 6 Many introverts dont do empathy. we arent being nasty but unless we have personally experienced a given situation we do not usually respond or have to fake our tears. We also tend to dislike public shows of emotion. 7 Read the warning signs. As with a cat, a favourite pet for Introverts, the body language will usually indicate when it is best to drop a subject or back off. We just want to be left alone. 8 Most introverts loathe hypocrisy. If you dont mean it dont say it or pretend. Wed rather know you as a foe and avoid or work round you than have you as a false friend. I hope these points are off assistance.
