This article describes me to a 'T' plus, it's funny (for those of you who are introverts or know someone who is). So skim through it...

"I'm okay, you're okay- in small doses."
"Introverts are 'a minority in the regular population but a majority in the gifted population'." (so true)
"Still, we endure stoically, because the etiquette books—written, no doubt, by extroverts—regard declining to banter as rude and gaps in conversation as awkward." (love it! 'gaps in conversation' don't bother me)
The story of my life- getting bored by pointless words: "Introverts are driven to distraction by the semi-internal dialogue extroverts tend to conduct. Introverts don't outwardly complain, instead roll their eyes and silently curse the darkness."
-From "Caring for Your Introvert" by Jonathan Rauch in The Atlantic, March 2003.
