Zebra Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It goes against my introvert tendencies to reply, but I'm sick of introverts getting a bad rap. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jplain Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks! I just put myself on the hold list at my library. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thank you! I think I need to read this book. I grew up in a family which labeled being 'introverted' as 'wrong.' They still don't get me. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thank you! I think I need to read this book. I grew up in a family which labeled being 'introverted' as 'wrong.' They still don't get me. :glare: Same here. It's only been during the past few years that I've stopped feeling ashamed of being quiet and reserved.

elegantlion Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thank you, from the introvert who didn't realize how much she needed a day alone.

Sophia Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Looks good. I was going to order the e-book, but then thought I need to leave this book on the coffee table so my family can see it and stop asking me to fill up every. weekend. on. the. calendar. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieM Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well, the introverts around here are coming out of the woodwork. I made a request from the library, then checked my hold status. I am #45 on the one copy they currently have. But it looks like there are several more copies on order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidsHappen Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 In our family, I think we have two extroverts and then maybe eight introverts. The two do enough talking for the rest of the family and sometimes we really have to restain ourselves from saying, "Will you please just stop talking for five minutes?! Please, just five minutes of quiet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Awesome. Added to my wishlist. One book that really helped me as well as Introvert Advantage. Helped me understand my reactions and also by sharing with my extrovert hubby, helped us understand each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
