Myths about Introverts →

I am an introvert. However, that does not mean I am shy, don't like talking, don't like to go in public, am rude and don't like people, etc. This collection of myths can give extroverts and other introverts some perspective about why people like me act the way we do.

My favorite myth is #4:

Myth #4 Introverts dont like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, youre in.
