I seem to have started an association

[firecat]

On a local mailing list recently, there has been a discussion of Myers-Briggs, and someone posted that she had become more extroverted as her confidence increased. I posted the following:

The Association of Introverts Educating Everyone (AIEE) would like to
congratulate [name] on her increase in confidence and also to offer the
following Public Service Announcement:

Improvements in confidence are not necessarily associated with becoming extroverted, and introversion is not necessarily associated with lack of confidence. Extroversion means being recharged by being around people. Introversion means recharged by being alone.

ag_unicorn added AIEE to his interests list. So I added it to mine.

Feel free to join AIEE if you would like to see introversion better understood by society at large.

I'm a proud introvert. (I rank at 100% introversion on the Myers Briggs survey.) I'm frustrated in the extreme by people that don't understand what "introvert" means. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, and I also got a major insight about the painful death of a wanna be relationship, so I'll stop here, add it to my interests and go rant in my own journal :)
