> Literally, "extroverted" means "turned outward." In practice it means "turned towards people." What are psychologists trying to say? "We are the outside; we are the universe," is what they are trying to say. They are foolishly egotistic. Community is not the world. When people are extroverted, they talk among themselves; they are turned in on themselves. People forget--because it is pleasant to forget this, if you are "extroverted"--that when you turn away from the party, you find yourself facing everything else.

There was no campfire and no gathering behind me, but if there were, I would not spare my eyes to look towards it.

Hi,
My friend who is introverted is from a family of extroverted. We went up to her cottage and by the end of the first day I had a migraine! The end of the second day, I was in such a bad mood with having to hear people speack out loud rather than keeping their stupid thoughts to themselves! Her two brothers don't shut up! Ane her step-mother..., lets just say she has verbal diarhea. I, being ISFJ TYPE 4 sat and studied these creatures the whole time. My findings were that they were very insecure people who unless speaking, felt that they weren't being heard. PEOPLE, you say it best, when you say nothing at all!
