Introvert, Care thereof

[nlbarber]

This article on Caring for your introvert is a great short reference for lots of things I've learned about myself. Posted for future reference, and for any of you extroverts who've done the "Are you sick? What's the matter?" routine to one of us introverts who was just minding their own business. <g>

Anything much more than half a dozen people (of any age -- I did the occasional storytime, and that's just as bad) in the audience and I just go into deer-in-the-headlights mode, and start talkingsofastyoucan'tunderstandwhatI'msaying. Then I spend the next two days (yes, days) coming off the adrenaline jag. I do a lot of dreading ahead of time, but afterwards is actually worse than beforehand.

It takes a heck of an emergency to get me up in front of people as a result.
