I’d just add — with reference to the “to be followed, to be liked” comment – if you know someone who is posting on facebook multiple times every single day reporting events of their lives or sharing various articles or cat videos or whatever — chances are, that person is an introvert. Facebook is a godsend for introverts because it enables people to have a social life and a circle of friends all within the privacy and comfortable solitude of their own home, without actually ever having to deal with people face-to-face, or even engage in a 2-way conversation.
Many introverts enjoy interacting with their computers and smartphones immensely.
And why is my post count at CC approaching 20,000?
Because I’m an introvert … spending countless hours all by myself, just me and my laptop. If I shared my extraverted daughter’s lifestyle, I’d never have time for all of this.
