Hi Kevin
I’d agree. And it’s not just an issue with social networking. Job search, business launch, any kind of planning – if the person is nervous about getting out there as many intros are, they can fall into the trap of perpetual planning or spending too much time organizing and not enough doing. We sometimes need a reminder that doing is what makes it happen, not thinking and planning and socializing…

Barbara – while blogging may be for introverts – blogging for any commercial purpose – at least one that requires an ultimate face-to-face meet up to complete a transaction – requires a willingness to take things offline.

It’s actually one of the things I see happening a lot as folks try to use social media to market themselves. They get so caught up in developing an online following that the offline meeting never materializes. True – some products are sold online w/ no need to meet in person. But for folks, like me, who are involved in the sales or service industry – ya gotta be willing to break out of the virtual realm!

Hi Lauren – Thank you. Good point. Learning to say no to the “extrovert” activities can make a huge difference in the life of us introverts. Forcing ourselves to do something we don’t enjoy certainly doesn’t help our quality of life.

Thank you for reminding others to take the Myers-Briggs inventory test. It is very helpful.

Hi Jacqueine – You’re welcome. The introvert comes to play in your writing, doesn’t it? It sounds like that a real passion of yours. I’ll come by and check out your work.

Hi Maya – Thank you for stopping by and weighing in. I hope to see you here again sometime.

Hi David – That’s fascinating that we may become less introverted with age. In some ways it makes sense, but I wonder if it’s still in our “blood”. Like you (and all of the other introverts), I also gain energy from having alone time.

Hi Floreta – You know, interestingly enough, after reading all of the comments it does appear the majority of bloggers (who commented here) do claim to be introverts. If it is more equal, I would have to guess extroverts are so busy with socializing in other ways, they’re not taking time to comment.

Hi Jillian – Thank you for the great recommendation on the book. It sounds like a fascinating read.

Hi Carla – Like you, I also like to work alone. I like what you said about your blog. I think introverts do find blogging is a perfect fit. We can share, but don’t have to “socialize” (in person).

I am definitely an introvert. I get exhausted in social situations and tired when I spend too much time with someone (usually if they are not a romantic interest). I work my efficiently when I'm alone and get more done in general. In terms of my personal blog, I guess I have it because I really don't have anyone besides my partner who I can share these things with. Carla´s last blog post..Before and After (pictures)

Yep. Introvert right here. Some people were asking if it's possible to be both and a great book if you are feeling in the middle is "The Introvert Advantage by Marti Olsen Laney. I highly recommend it. Jillian´s last blog post..A just cause: Puppies Behind Bars
