In terms of social interaction, extroverts tend to keep their personality on the surface for all to see, they're generally concrete, positive, spontaneous, and interact easily with other extroverts.
Introverts on the other hand tend to be perceived as reserved, withdrawn, abstract, up-tight, serious, deceptive, cynical, negative, and don't interact well with extroverts.
As an introvert, let me tell you that being reserved or withdrawn does not imply a lack of personality or that you're boring or uninteresting.
But there is a conflict in our communication styles.
Firstly, what do you as an extrovert make of introverted people? and for introverts, what do you make of extroverts?
Secondly, this applying specifically to introverts - how do you manage relationships with extroverted people? what styles of interaction work for you? Ultimately, how do you maintain social harmony when extroverted perceptions of your behavior damage your wellbeing?
Cheers.
