I fall into this category. I wonder if I'm not alone amongst members in this context. I get a lot of my mental energy from being left alone to think. I don't have the mental stamina for a steady stream of personality. When I do talk to people, I prefer topics that require major thought when involved. Instead of "small talk". It's a trait that has proven to be frustrating for some people. Ending in some awkward moments. From what research I have done, we the introverts are as poorly understood as we are assumed to be some how not normal. So I say Introverts unite. Now do you extraverts have any questions?

I know what you're saying reza-george, but I'm wondering if the category is valid. Its definately not a "born with" trait because many who are shy at first are wild at the end.
Whether we call our differences 'personality differences' or not (which I personally don't agree with), I see your point. But you'd be surprised how many people like a quiet person. The major difference about a more introverted person is trust. An extroverted person gains another's trust through honest rambling. An introverted person can be trusted in a more serious but slower way.
In any case, my conclusion is that one shouldn't limit themselves to one type of 'personality' over another. That's the problem these days... we all need to have more flexible personalities but we categorize ourselves instead... Its a problem because only flexibility will allow us to get along, advance, and eventually be happy.

I have to admit, that's a good point.
And come to think about it: I have found that as I have become more socialized (flexible), I have managed to get through my day that much easier. Although for me personally, socializing is as much the acquired skill, as it is a major work ethic. “An extroverted person gains another's trust through honest rambling.” If I were to engage myself with an extravert such, I’d be exhausted. Although, listening to extraverted people engage each other in such a conversation does help me get to know the people I deal with. How they function with others. Listening to people, what that they know and understand. Those sorts of things. Which brings me to: “An introverted person can be trusted in a more serious but slower way.“ When I’ve taken the time I need listening, I’ll begin making conversations with some folks. Since I already have some idea of how to make the best of it.
