Who's Got It Easier: Extroverts Or Introverts?

In BuzzFeed's recent post, "25 Frustrating Things About Being An Extrovert," writer Jessica Misener laments about life's little irritations when friends aren't available, roommates don't want to talk, sharing requires more than one close compadre and silence is death.

I can't relate to many these conundrums. 

Despite holding a job that requires me to reach out and connect, I really am closer to the introverted side of the spectrum. For example: #17 Having those “OH MY GOD I NEED TO BE AROUND PEOPLE” days…

When my work day is done, I unwind in the company of me, myself and I.

Still her illustrated rant is hilarious, particularly #25 which shows a cartoon comparison of the party-loving extrovert and the book-toting introvert.

I love my friends and family, but covet my solitude.

Kudos to Misener for celebrating both personalities. The world wouldn't be the same without the yin and yang of extroverts and introverts.

On a side note: check out Quite: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking by Susan Cain. 

It's an awesome read, and it just might help you better understand and appreciate the full spectrum of personalities that make up your work, neighborhood and community circles.
