For an interesting nonfiction read, I really enjoyed 'Quiet' by Susan Cain. I read it with my husband, who is a true introvert, whereas I am an introvert masquerading as an extrovert.

You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from.

Michael Fassbender

Either you are extrovert or introvert, and so I am an introvert in that sense. I'm not a social person that wants to go to parties.

Gautam Adani

The exaggerated dopamine sensitivity of the introvert leads one to believe that when in public, introverts, regardless of its validity, often feel to be the center of (unwanted) attention hence rarely craving attention. Extroverts, on the other hand, seem to never get enough attention. So on the flip side it seems as though the introvert is in a sense very external and the extrovert is in a sense very internal - the introvert constantly feels too much 'outerness' while the extrovert doesn't feel enough 'outerness'.

Criss Jami

Criss Jami

Carl Jung

I am a mild introvert. But I have learned to be a very successful extrovert because if you want impact, you have to work with people.

Patrick Pichette

I'm not sure if I'm an introvert or extrovert. I love being around people, but sometimes I do need to go off and fart.

Joe Lycett

There is no such thing as a pure extrovert or a pure introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum.

Carl Jung

I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert. I am somewhere in the middle.

Mimi Chakraborty

Extroverts are more responsive to high-intensity and "happy" stimuli, which may be why an extrovert gets frustrated at the less "readable" face of the introvert.

Laurie Helgoe

If the extrovert watches and listens a bit more, the introvert's true mood will become more evident.

Laurie Helgoe

I think people think I'm a extrovert but really I'm a introvert.

Tierra Whack

Our lives are shaped as profoundly by personality as by gender or race. And the single most important aspect of personality ... is where we fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum.

Susan Cain
