When an introvert cares about someone, she also wants contact, not so much to keep up with the events of the other person’s life, but to keep up with what’s inside: the evolution of ideas, values, thoughts, and feelings. (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)

There’s a lot to love about America - freedom, the melting pot of diversity, individualism - all attractive concepts, especially to an introvert.

When an introvert is quiet, don’t assume he is depressed, snobbish or socially deficient (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Introverts often assume what’s inside is visible on the outside. We don’t have to invent or fake the emotion; we just need to allow it to be seen! (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Extroverts are more responsive to high-intensity and happy stimuli, which may be why an extrovert gets frustrated at the less readable face of the introvert. (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Asking others for input puts you in the driver’s seat, and may feel less awkward than having to watch yourself on video. (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)

Introverts are more effective leaders of proactive employees. When you have a creative, energetic work force, an introvert is going to draw out that energy better (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Introverts like being introverts. We are drawn to ideas, we are passionate observers, and for us, solitude is rich and generative (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we’re down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy? (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
When an introvert cares about someone, she also wants contact, not so much to keep up with the events of the other person’s life, but to keep up with what’s inside: the evolution of ideas, values, thoughts, and feelings (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)

A shy kid might look longingly at other kids playing in the schoolyard, afraid and unsure about how to approach them, but an introvert is perfectly content on her own (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Reading is like travel, allowing you to exit your own life for a bit, and to come back with a renewed, even inspired, perspective (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Introvert conversations are like jazz, where each player gets to solo for a nice stretch before the other player comes in and does his solo. And like jazz, once we get going, we can play all night. Extrovert conversations are more like tennis matches, where thoughts are batted back and forth, and players need to be ready to respond. Introverts get winded pretty quickly (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
This is why it is sometimes hard for introverts to find words: we really hate to compromise, and words are always a compromise (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
Though introverts are drained by interaction, we can take immense pleasure in watching the scene around us (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
An introvert may feel asocial when pressured to go to a party that doesn’t interest her. But for her, the event does not promise meaningful interaction. In fact, she knows that the party will leave her feeling more alone and alienated (Laurie Helgoe Quotes)
