Love Is Essential; Gregariousness Is Optional. Cherish Your Nearest And Dearest. Work With Colleagues You Like And Respect. Scan New Acquaintances For Those Who Might Fall Into The Former Categories Or Whose Company You Enjoy For Its Own Sake. And Don't Worry About Socializing With Everyone Else. Relationships Make Everyone Happier, Introverts Included, But Think Quality Over Quantity.

Introverts Living Under The Extroversion Ideal Are Like Women In A Man's World, Discounted Because Of A Trait That Goes To The Core Of Who They Are.

Introverts Often Work More Slowly And Deliberately. They Like To Focus On One Task At A Time And Can Have Mighty Powers Of Concentration . They're Relatively Immune To The Lures Of Wealth And Fame.

Introverts Need To Trust Their Gut And Share Their Ideas As Powerfully As They Can. This Does Not Mean Aping Extroverts; Ideas Can Be Shared Quietly, They Can Be Communicated In Writing, They Can Be Packaged Into Highly Produced Lectures, They Can Be Advanced By Allies. The Trick For Introverts Is To Honor Their Own Styles Instead Of Allowing Themselves To Be Swept Up By Prevailing Norms.

The Emphasis Is On Community, On Participating In More And More Programs And Events, On Meeting More And More People. It’s A Constant Tension For Many Introverts That They’re Not Living That Out. And In A Religious World, There’s More At Stake When You Feel That Tension. It Doesn’t Feel Like ‘i’m Not Doing As Well As I’d Like.’ It Feels Like ‘god Isn’t Pleased With Me.’

Jealousy Is An Ugly Emotion, But It Tells The Truth. You Mostly Envy Those Who Have What You Desire.
