The Introvert Manifesto

Please understand…

1. We don’t want to go, but we still want to be invited.
2. We’re not shy or rude, we just suck at small talk.
3. We’re not good in groups, and prefer to talk with the most interesting person at the party, in a corner somewhere.
4. If we show up to your party, we really, really like you.
5. After the party, we will have a socializing hangover, and will need some down time to recharge.
6. We really love our dogs and cats.
7. We are pretty damn interesting, if you ask us about ourselves (we are unlikely to toot our own horns).
8. We enjoy our own company immensely, and are rarely bored or lonely.
9. We typically have a wicked sense of humor, but will never be class clown.
10. We are secretly thrilled when plans get cancelled.
