Extrovert Quotes

“Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to. Stay home on New Year's Eve if that's what makes you happy. Skip the committee meeting. Cross the street to avoid making aimless chitchat with random acquaintances. Read. Cook. Run. Write a story. Make a deal with yourself that you'll attend a set number of social events in exchange for not feeling guilty when you beg off.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal, their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird. Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person; they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.”

“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, Killosophy

“Figure out what you are meant to contribute to the world and make sure you contribute it.

― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“When you spend too much time battling your own
nature, the opposite happens: you deplete yourself. I’ve met too
many people living lives that didn’t suit them — introverts with
frenetic social schedules and extroverts with jobs that required
them to sit in front of their computers for hours at a stretch.
We all have to do things that don’t come naturally... some of the time. But it shouldn’t be all the time. It shouldn’t even be most of the time.”
― Susan Cain, The Power of Introverts: 9 Best-Loved Stories

“Girgin, konuşkan bir adamınkine oranla içine kapanık, suskun birinin gözlem ve izlenimleri daha bulanık olmakla beraber daha derinlere işler; onun düşünceleri daha ağır, daha gariptir, ve daima hüzünün gölgesini taşır. Bir bakış, bir gülüş, bir fikir değiş-tokuşuyla kolayca geçiştirilecek imgeler, algılar onu aşırı derecede meşgule eder, suskunluğunda derinleşir, önem kazanır; bir olay, bir serüven, bir heyecan olurlar. Yalnızlık özgünlüğü, o cesurca ve yadırgatıcı güzelliği, şiiri yaratır. Yalnızlık aynı zamanda ters, orantısız ve saçma olanı, izin verilmeyeni de yaratır.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice

“Dolly was giddy, infused with life and happiness and the peculiar energy that came from having slipped inside another skin. There was nothing that made her spin quite like it, the invisible moment of transition when she stopped being Dolly Smitham and became instead Someone Else. The details of that Someone Else weren't particularly important; it was the frisson of performance she adored, the sublime pleasure of masquerade. It was like stepping into another person's life. Stealing it for a time.”
― Kate Morton, The Secret Keeper

“Many well-known writers and editors joked that Straka "must live in a cave somewhere," mocking his need for solitude and privacy. What these publishing-industry extroverts failed to understand is that many more people in the world share Straka's feelings than theirs.”
― J.J. Abrams, S.

“Probably the most common—and damaging—misunderstanding about personality type is that introverts are antisocial and extroverts are pro-social. But as we’ve seen, neither formulation is correct; introverts and extroverts are differently social. Why do we accept this one-size-fits-all situation as a given when we know perfectly well that adults don’t organize themselves this way? We often marvel at how introverted, geeky kids “blossom” into secure and happy adults. We liken it to a metamorphosis. However, maybe it’s not the children who change but their environments. As adults, they get to select the careers, spouses, and social circles that suit them. They don’t have to live in whatever culture they’re plunked into. Research from a field known as “person-environment fit” shows that people flourish when, in the words of psychologist Brian Little, they’re “engaged in occupations, roles or settings that are concordant with their personalities.” The inverse is also true: kids stop learning when they feel emotionally threatened.”
― Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

“In a world dominated by extroverts and exhibitionism, the quiet ones make the loudest impact with their silence – it's their superpower”

“...which was the real Antoine: the one who would stand mesmerised in front of the window on rainy afternoons watching the drops racing across the glass, or the one who turned the attic upside down and then suddenly appeared disguised as a buccaneer or an explorer shouting ridiculous phrases in order to amuse his sisters and cousins.

He asks himself that very question. Who am I? The court jester who shakes his bells when he’s with others, or the silent introvert I am when I’m on my own?”
― Antonio Iturbe, The Prince of the Skies
