Most of us have faced all of the things she mentions, from teachers who think that there is something wrong with children who prefer to read than play, to the minutia like making small talk that can drain some of us of all energy. She does a fantastic job of explaining why we function in this manner, and she manages to show us that we are not wrong in the way we act; we are just different.Portugalhttp://ucanbewhatuwant.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-2891748988425184252012-01-20T13:28:20.700-08:002012-01-20T13:28:20.700-08:00I hadn't heard of ambiverts!

And it doesn't surprise me that many bloggers are actually introverts, because if they were true extroverts they probably wouldn't be blogging and would rather go out and meet people! Blogging conferences sound pretty terrifying to me, haha.Sharon @ Red Poppy | Pink Peonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113735642056125123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-8031981675686989842012-01-20T12:55:39.383-08:002012-01-20T12:55:39.383-08:00I like your spin on this book!

And it amazes me the number of people who may act like extroverts and actually identify with being introverts.Janinhttp://janinwise.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-36650519639861855802012-01-19T15:15:37.388-08:002012-01-19T15:15:37.388-08:00While the large blogging conventions always sound ...While the large blogging conventions always sound like a lot of fun, great to meet the people I've been chatting with, and a way to explore opportunities, they also sound mentally exhausting! And so many posts make it sound like they are filled to the brim with super bubbly people, so good to know that's not always the case. :>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572568205513606978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-69938189172510841152012-01-19T12:50:43.441-08:002012-01-19T12:50:43.441-08:00One great example in my mind of what you are sayin...One great example in my mind of what you are saying in your post is Ree Drummond from the food blog The Pioneer Woman. On the blog she sounds like an extrovert and funny and quirky and lovingly weird. On her new cooking show though she seems uncomfortable and not quite as interesting and quippy. Of course I love her to death online and on the Food Network, don't get me wrong. But she's a good example of what you are saying.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-67380371488868280382012-01-19T09:39:15.298-08:002012-01-19T09:39:15.298-08:00I attended BlogHer '09 in Chicago and while it...I attended BlogHer '09 in Chicago and while it was a lot of fun to finally meet up with so many great bloggers, I found myself heading back to my room for 30 min or so every day just to get some alone time. Or walking outside after lunch for the same reason. <br /><br />It is funny, isn't it, how blogging events are set up to be so face-to-face, go-go-go, and most bloggers aren't necessarily compatible with that format. <br /><br />Best to you!MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657624957929650534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-52981652270214799202012-01-19T07:50:41.422-08:002012-01-19T07:50:41.422-08:00I *wish* more conventions were geared towards intr...I *wish* more conventions were geared towards introverts!!Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516729845845593925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961845787008113767.post-23392748374544933042012-01-18T21:49:20.753-08:002012-01-18T21:49:20.753-08:00I agree with you.

I think many bloggers are introverts and it's easy to look extroverted through the mask of a computer screen.Thien-Kim aka Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00944429273741512796noreply@blogger.com
