D o you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?

My own formula is roughly two hours alone for every hour of socializing. This isn't antisocial. It isn't a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: "I'm okay, you're okay—in small doses."

"Extroverts therefore dominate public life. This is a pity. If we introverts ran the world, it would no doubt be a calmer, saner, more peaceful sort of place."
yeah, take Japan for example
All we introverts need is to be able to bitch and yell whenever we want something from others, so we get it, then we're back to our better world.

Introverts tend to fail, because success = manipulation of social groups.

Yeah, Japan is fucked up. Interesting, but fucked up. Kinda like ancient Rome, I guess.

Introverts may look like they fail to social lamb eyes, but they actually win, and only themselves are good enough to realize.

I try to be somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert.
