The Introvert Advantage was *fantastic*! She puts so many things so perfectly, as do you in your article. I am also INFP. It's a tricky way to be. I especially empathize with your third-to-last paragraph. I think you're so right. My grandparents and family especially are always emphasizing that we need to always see the silver lining. But it's ridiculous to say that I'm in the wrong for also seeing the cloud. I write, and I write about negative things only because I'm being positive inside and have hope. Introverts think, and they think deeply. I, like you, like to have one-on-one conversations, and I enjoy having deep conversations. That book really helped me to see that that's okay. Just because my family doesn't approve (lol) doesn't mean that I'm a sub-human. Thank you for what you wrote. I just read that book! The Introvert Advantage was *fantastic*!

You reminded me of a line from a favorite movie of mine, <em>Spanglish</em>, in which Cloris Leachman, in character as the grandmother, tells her errant adult daughter who's cheating on her husband that sometimes her low self-esteem is just good sense. Many inhibitions placed on us by society may be exaggerated and inappropriate today. Others have a purpose, for instance of protecting the vulnerable, such as children, or simply helping others to feel comfortable around us. I don't necessarily want to impose my rules on everyone, but I guess I'd turn that movie line into advice to both extroverts and introverts, as well as shy people: Sometimes it's appropriate to hold back.

I am beginning to accept that this is my personality and it will probably never change, but it's hard to at this point in my life. I am in college and every girl on my hall is an extrovert. I feel like I don't fit in and never will, and that they don't want me around because I am boring or dull. I enjoy being around people but if they expect me to participate in their small talk it's not going to happen that easily. To them I come across as stuck up or that I don't like them which is definetely not true. I prefer to spend my time reading and writing. That's why I'm an english major. It's what I do best.

It's just a tag to explain behaviour...I am not an introvert because I'm afraid or feel uncomfortable to socialise...It's just as easy for me to get all the attention, crack people up with my humour...talk to strangers... etcetra...

It is holding me back. if you look at it the extroverts get all the girls, meanwhile us introverts are complaining about being lonely. I want to change, yet I find it impossible.
