the Atlantic:  Caring for Your Introvert

Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations 
about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems 
awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then 
needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when 
accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?

If so, do you tell this person he is "too serious," or ask if he is okay? Regard him as aloof, 
arrogant, rude? Redouble your efforts to draw him out?
