  3. What is Introversion?
    1. Introverted people live in a human-sized hamster ball. (Not really, but you know what I mean) The major trait of a true introvert, as opposed to someone who is withdrawn, is how they gain their energy.
    2. Extroverted people gather their energy from their surroundings. They absorb the "good vibes" of the people around them and thus need a lot go social interaction.
    3. Introverted people Make their own energy And, rather than taking It from others "GIVE" It on social contact. This means that they Naturally find most Interaction exhausting and Need time to recharge
    4. Because this energy is a limited resource, they tend to see extroverts as obnoxious predators out to steal their sweet, sweet energy juices. That's why they have the hamster ball of personal space.
  4. How to interact with the introverted
    1. Just because someone is introverted doesn't mean they don't like company. Interaction is just expensive and they don't want to spend it on something annoying(Read: Wasteful)
    2. Here's what you do:
    3. Say hello. be polite and relaxed,show that you recognize and approve of their presence. It is important for introverts to feel welcome. They won't spend their precious energy on someone who doesn't want them around. If you have interesting/important news to mention, mention it. Just don't press for gossip.
    4. They go back to whatever you were doing. Now the introverts know that you are friendly and open to interaction But will not push them into spending energy if they have no need to.
    5. TAH-DAH! That's all there is to it!
  5. Remember:
    1. · Respect personal space (Hamster Ball)
    2. · Energy is limited
    3. · Don't demand to have energy spend on you when it's not particularly needed
    4. · Don't take silence as an insult-it isn't!
    5. · Introverts get lonely, too
  6. That's it, Folks! Be sure to hug your introverts today! (With permission of course)
