- cTower, on 09/14/2009, -19/+899How To Care for Extroverts
- Ignore their requests for privacy
- Embarrass them whenever possible
- Always announce their arrival to a group and give them an opportunity to make a speech
- Press them for answers, allowing no more than 3 sec. between questions
- Interrupt them when they talk
- Little notice is required when major changes need to occur
- Reprimand them publicly
- Make their learning experiences public and stressful
- Discourage relationship building and the acquiring of 'friends'
- Help them become a better person by encouraging less extroverted behaviors
Hmmm...that can't be right. Maybe we should be treating everyone like an Introvert. - qeek, on 09/14/2009, -6/+659I don't need any extrovert to take care of me.
Just leave me alone. - smack1700, on 09/14/2009, -9/+461Do Not talk to them in person - use IM/e-mail/text/etc.
- A5204, on 09/14/2009, -7/+453Jeeze, I'm just a private guy not a tiger.
- DrZmobie, on 09/14/2009, -21/+447How to Care for Diggers*
- NiftyG, on 09/14/2009, -7/+354"Introverts are a minority in the regular population but a majority in the gifted population."
- J0hnnyBlaze, on 09/14/2009, -4/+327I'M AN EXTROVERT DIGGER. I'M ALSO A GIANT KANYEBAG TOO.
*fixed - tovarish22, on 09/14/2009, -21/+334Since when did introverted become a synonym for low-functioning autism?
- Fhwqhgads, on 09/14/2009, -10/+314Introvert: a person with a low tolerance level for the stupid people that populate general society.
- ptoomey, on 09/14/2009, -6/+273They forgot the part where you slide a pizza under the door to them at least twice a day. Or is that just me?
- inactive, on 09/14/2009, -14/+224I'm an extrovert digger. I'm also a giant kanyebag too.
- radialturkey, on 09/14/2009, -5/+213Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of the list is common courtesy.
- SmpleJohn, on 09/14/2009, -34/+213Just give them some alcohol and fix them.
- BoneheadFarker, on 09/14/2009, -3/+182An extended explaination:
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200303/rauch - doctechnical, on 09/14/2009, -0/+176I'm a programmer and I do tech support. I consider slamming the phone down to be a form of communication in and of itself.
- ellecon, on 09/14/2009, -5/+164"The worst of it is that extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves. Still, we endure stoically, because the etiquette books—written, no doubt, by extroverts—regard declining to banter as rude and gaps in conversation as awkward. We can only dream that someday, when our condition is more widely understood, when perhaps an Introverts' Rights movement has blossomed and borne fruit, it will not be impolite to say "I'm an introvert. You are a wonderful person and I like you. But now please shush."
Exactly.
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200303/rauch - iamtomsbrain, on 09/14/2009, -3/+147Don't make them angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry.
- shadus, on 09/14/2009, -6/+146Introvert on alcohol != extrovert.
Generally just adds "obnoxious" to the list of their traits.
Most of the introverts I know aren't big drinkers if they drink at all, they dislike feeling like they're out of control. - doctechnical, on 09/14/2009, -8/+147I can derive two things from this article:
0) My mother raised me all wrong.
1) My cat is an introvert. Oddly, she does not seem to mind licking her arse in front of company. Bit of a contradiction there, you never see me doing that. - Alienrace, on 09/14/2009, -2/+138You must eat extra thin crust pizza.
- AtomicTheory, on 09/14/2009, -12/+147I love these lists that apply to everyone.
12. Don't strip them naked, douse them in gasoline and shoot roman candles at them. Introverts don't like this. - norwegianlegion, on 09/14/2009, -2/+134". . . and many introverts, when socializing, feel like actors"
This quote just defined and crystallized how I feel in a crowd, and the first paragraph hit me like a truck it described who I was so fully. Other great ones:
"We tend to think before talking, whereas extroverts tend to think by talking, which is why their meetings never last less than six hours."
"Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves." - atroxodisse, on 09/14/2009, -2/+124Digg for kanyebag.
- rhythmchanges, on 09/14/2009, -2/+116Never get them wet and NEVER... feed them after midnight.
- perrym, on 09/14/2009, -4/+115i was expecting a joke at the end of the list or something.
- shadus, on 09/14/2009, -11/+115Introversion and extroversion aren't opposites.
- motoroats, on 09/14/2009, -1/+98I would lol if this is a Digg filter that replaces every instance of 'douche' with 'kanye'
- daEvan, on 09/14/2009, -1/+95Dugg for 0
- catcher6250, on 09/14/2009, -3/+91Holy ***** this is me
- libertygal76, on 09/14/2009, -5/+91As an introvert, I'll thank you extroverts to follow the above guidelines when dealing with me.
- Leviathan433, on 09/14/2009, -1/+84Digga please
- seandfeeney, on 09/14/2009, -2/+77An IT staff is less of an introvert than say, a programmer. IT requires communication with others.
- 4AntiStupid, on 09/14/2009, -9/+79- Don't laugh at them...they don't like it when people laugh at them.
- Don't rearrange the ammo drawer without permission. - TBBucs, on 09/14/2009, -14/+82Introversion isn't something you "fix". It's not a choice, it's an orientation.
- joshua5, on 09/14/2009, -2/+70also dugg just for kanyebag
- joshua5, on 09/14/2009, -0/+67You're on the wrong website then.
- eastwood24, on 09/14/2009, -4/+70While introverts typically represent 25% of the general population, I would guess they are a majority of digg users. If you disagree with me, then please bury me.
- BuggsyBoy, on 09/14/2009, -0/+63You annoy introverted people.
- J0hnnyBlaze, on 09/14/2009, -2/+63lol, uh oh...I might be an introvert.
- pizzaface200, on 09/14/2009, -1/+62That's me in one sentence.
- J0hnnyBlaze, on 09/14/2009, -6/+67let it out of its cage once every 6 hours.
- inactive, on 09/14/2009, -0/+58"Don't interrupt them."
That should be rule #1. There's nothing more irritating than people who have no respect (or awareness) for who is in the middle of a sentence. - jacked, on 09/14/2009, -1/+58Another digg for kanyebag. nice one.
- joshua5, on 09/14/2009, -5/+62This is a much better full article.
Caring For Your Introvert

Been submitted many times never making front page, I purposely picked the earliest one. - atroxodisse, on 09/14/2009, -0/+56Same. Except I don't have cat. Do you lick your arse in private?
- eastwood24, on 09/14/2009, -0/+54As a Meyers-Briggs Personality type of: Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking Judging, I will conduct some tests, analyze the data/results and then write a report either confirming or invalidating your claim.
- MalarkeyPN, on 09/14/2009, -1/+54I lol'd at this quote:
"Are introverts arrogant? Hardly. I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts." - pintocat, on 09/14/2009, -0/+52They do it to themselves all the time =)
