“Introversion-along with its cousins, sensitivity, seriousness and shyness-is now a second-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology. Introverts living under the Extrovert Ideal are like a woman in a man’s world, discounted because of a trait that goes to the core of who they are. Extroversion is an enormously appealing style, but we’ve turned it into an oppressive standard which most of us feel we must conform.”
