Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They are not angry, depressed or anti-social. They just need to be alone for awhile. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

My husband is like this and I’m the opposite! But together we make a great pair!!! God is good!!! ❤️
I do have to add… But after a while… I also love to be home and in my PJ’S too!
True .They do not like to share with all .The position keeps changing .Rarely a person is totally introvert. I like the views.
True:-)
I am an Intovert. I cann’t express me:-(
I am very much an introvert! Family reunions give me anxiety attacks. Going out to bars makes me nervous. I can spend a whole weekend by myself and go out (alone)or stay in, and come Monday morning I am on top of the world! I love, love, love to read! I will get lost in a book for hours and forget to eat! lol!

Don’t confuse introvert with social anxiety. They are different things. An introvert doesn’t mind social occasions but gets their energy from retreating and spending time alone. Social anxiety and the inabikity to exoress yourself are totally different things and often needs some help to overcome.
