<p>I’ve seen that book on Amazon. I am certainly an introvert, but I love socializing (albeit in very small groups - the larger the group, the quieter I am). I also have a quiet voice that does not resonate as well as some naturally loud-speaking people, so its harder for me to speak in a group. </p>
<p>I am always thinking about and analyzing things, and I often come up with excellent arguments (in my mind) after the moment has passed to share them because of some lingering social anxiety I experience. I don’t think that you <em>must</em> have verbal conversations to think and expand one’s mind. I do a lot of reading - news articles, blogs, forums, books, whatever - so I read about and understand a lot of different perspectives without actually having to do much talking. </p>
<p>People just need to realize that not everyone is just like them, and some people prefer quiet conversations, others prefer loud parties, and yet others prefer something in the middle.</p>
