people tend to value their own psychological type the most. Extroverts in particular have trouble acknowledging the opposite tendencies. "You can't be an introvert," one of my most extroverted colleagues insists. "You have lots of friends."

Any situation that demands a quick reaction is difficult for introverts; we need more time than extroverts do to reflect.

Since my introversion epiphany, I've learned to sidestep back-to-back social events, because more than one in a row makes them all a wash. Even when begged, I fret less about saying no. And when something truly important, such as a high school graduation, takes over my life for days on end, afterward I spend hours behind a closed door with a thick thriller, guilt-free.

By Mary Carpenter Special to The Washington Post Monday, February 19, 2007 Not until my early 50s did I make a startling discovery: Most of my close friends are introverts. As I brought up the subject with one after another, we spoke in low, confessional voices of feeling numb with fatigue following workdays or social outings we'd otherwise enjoyed, of frequent longings to retreat to a quiet place. Why was I surprised? Why did it take me decades to figure this out? Because we are introverts, which means we don't reveal ourselves by working through problems out loud or by talking much about how we think or feel. Carl Jung, the originator of "psychological typology," noted that different psychological types perceive the world and make decisions in different ways. Extroverts draw energy from engaging with the outside world and especially from being with other people; introverts need time alone to recharge.
