And if it’s true that introverts are, on the whole, more thoughtful and sensitive people, then we desperately need those people at the party. It’s okay if they just sit on the sofa arm eating chips.

Maybe the world will continue along this more introverted path, and I’ll have to adapt to a society that expects different things of me than I expect of it. In that case, my fellow extroverts and I will start preparing memes about how misunderstood we are. We’re going to be so loud about it.*
