Extravert Frustrations

This blog focuses on introverts obviously but it is good to understand the extraverted point of view as well.  Some extraverted friends assure me that this is not a joke post but it is really how they feel:

Some of the points made, such as #12, were so foreign to me that I honestly thought this wasn't serious when I first read it.  While introverts are pretty widely misunderstood in my experience, being an extravert isn't always easy either apparently.

An Introvert's Weekend

I honestly got a tad teary eyed while reading this.  It is so beautifully written.  I love this quote:

"To use melodramatic-but-honest terms: If I come to your birthday party, wedding, company picnic, or baby shower and I am quiet the whole time and/or I leave soon after, it means that I used the last of my strength to tell you I love you."

I suspect that I unknowingly cause similar feelings in friends and coworkers too.  Being a developer, this seems very true to me!
