To introverts, it seems like everyone around them just wants to hear themselves talk. As born-again listeners, most introverts have honed the skill of knowing when conversation is required and when it’s not, which is a commonly misunderstood skill. While your parents think you’re antisocial at the dinner table and your friends think you’re in a bad mood, introverts will always abide by one simple rule: If you don’t have something important to say, don’t say nothing at all.
