“I am rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.”
Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

“Let's clear one thing up: Introverts do not hate small talk because we dislike people. We hate small talk because we hate the barrier it creates between people.”
Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength
