I verses E, when followed by

Apr 15, 2015 11:06

Imagine a room full of people, socializing. Half of them extroverts, half are introverts. Seems like the extroverts are not going to be aware of how many introverts there are, since theyre the normal ones. But the introverts are going to know exactly who the extroverts are.

Most of the time I identify as introvert, and most of the time, Im more interested in hearing from other introverts. But these are exactly the people I'm *least* likely to hear from.

And this isnt a slam on extroverts. Its kinda like when women struggle to make a women-only space, just to get a break from male dominated speech habits. Its not a slam on men, its just trying to get some air.

But #somemen, #notallmen, are going to take execption to this, and theres not going to be time or space to sit them down and find that teaching moment and gently convince them its not about them all the time.

So too with Extroverts. I still love you all, I just need a break sometimes is all.
