Speak softly and carry a big stick leave me the hell alone

Here is a great piece from The Atlantic entitled "Caring for Your Introvert." Hilarious!

I love the last paragraph of Rauch's piece:

How can I let the introvert in my life know that I support him and respect his choice?

First, recognize that it's not a choice. It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation.

Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?"

Third, don't say anything else, either.
