Vindication!
After all these years, finally, science on my side. Now I can tell people to leave me the hell alone and be able to cite a study as to why I’m justified in saying that.
The following comes directly from a smart person who wrote a book:
“Extroverts gain energy by being out and about,” but “being with people takes energy from introverts, and they need to get away to restore that energy.”
You know what else? Introverts use more of their brain, too.
Researchers using brain scans have found introverts have more brain activity in general, and specifically in the frontal lobes. When these areas are activated, introverts are energized by retrieving long-term memories, problem solving, introspection, complex thinking and planning.
Boo-yah, suckas.
