shhhhh. don't say a word.

I was reading The Daniel J Smith Daily http://paper.li/thedanieljsmith today and I was pleased to see one of my favourite articles posted on the top of the page: Jonathan Rauch's "Caring for Your Introvert" in which Rauch reveals the misconceptions faced by introverts (he considers himself to be one).

It's a fantastic piece, he covers all the important topics ranging from the introvert's increased need for silent time to reflect to their habit of processing their thoughts internally before discussing them (compared to extroverts).  What I love about Rauch's article is that it's sensitive and honest in its portrayal of the introvert experience, but it also tells the story of how introvert-ism impacts the social environment around the introvert.  Rauch does an excellent job writing about introverts and extroverts and in the end, he's contributed an article that I believe goes the distance in helping the two groups understand each other better.  I've pased it along to both introverts and extroverts over the years -- I highly recommend this article.
