Laurie Helgoe Quotes

• Como introvertido, puedes ser tu mejor amigo o tu peor enemigo. La buena noticia es que, por lo general, nos gusta nuestra propia compañía, una cualidad que los extrovertidos suelen envidiar. Nos reconforta la soledad y sabemos cómo tranquilizarnos.

• As an introvert, you can be your own best friend or your worst enemy. The good news is we generally like our own company, a quality that extroverts often envy. We find comfort in solitude and know how to soothe ourselves. Even our willingness to look at ourselves critically is often helpful.But, we can go too far. We can hoard responsibility and overlook the role others play. We can kick ourselves when we're down. How many times have you felt lousy about something, only to get mad at yourself for feeling lousy?

• Los introvertidos se guardan sus mejores cosas, hasta que están listas. Y esto vuelve locos a los extrovertidos. La explicación del comportamiento introvertido -y tiene que haber una explicación para este comportamiento, dicen los extrovertidos- es que es antisocial, está fuera de onda o, simplemente, es un esnob.

• Las conversaciones introvertidas son como el jazz, donde cada intérprete puede tocar en solitario durante un buen rato antes de que entre el otro y haga su solo. Y como en el jazz, una vez que empezamos, podemos tocar toda la noche. Las conversaciones extrovertidas se parecen más a los partidos de tenis, en los que los pensamientos van y vienen y los jugadores tienen que estar preparados para responder. Los introvertidos se cansan enseguida.

• Isn't it refreshing to know that what comes perfectly natural for you is your greatest strength? Your power is in your nature. You may not think it's a big deal that you can spend hours immersed in something that interests you-alone-but the extrovert next door has no idea how you do it.

• Extroverts want us to have fun, because they assume we want what they want. And sometimes we do. But "fun" itself is a "bright" word, the kind of word that comes with flashing lights and an exclamation point! One of Merriam-Webster's definitions of "fun" is "violent or excited activity or argument." The very word makes me want to sit in a dimly lit room with lots of pillows-by myself.

• Extroverts are more attuned to social rewards, so they are more likely to flash a smile for effect. A notable exception are introverts - like me - whom I call "socially accessible" introverts. We have been trained well to smile and nod, which can place a burden on our processing efforts.
