I get a lot of letters from introverts asking how they can meet people. The key is to make sure that you are doing things you enjoy.
From Susan Cain
We need to do teacher training to educate them about what temperament means. Shyness is painful and you want to help a child with shyness - but the underlying temperament of being a careful, sensitive person is to be honoured, valued and respected.
I'm continually amazed by how many people who appear to be extroverts are actually introverts.
Even when the attention focused on me is positive, I am uncomfortable being looked at by a lot of people - it's just not my natural state of being.
Your tendency to be inward-directed or outward-directed is huge; it governs every part of the way you live and work and love.
I'm insatiably curious about human nature. I feel very lucky that as a writer I get to learn so much about it just to do my job right.
