Women are always expected to be the gracious hostess, quick with an anecdote and a sprinkling of laughter at others' stories. We are always the ones who have to smooth over all the awkward moments in life with soul-crushing pleasantries. We are basically unpaid geishas. But when we do not fulfill this expectation ( because we are introverted ) people asume we must be either depressed or a cunt". Amy Schumer
About This Quote

Most of us are introverts. We are not naturally extroverts and we don't want to be. Each of us has the ability to function in the world, but that doesn't mean that each of us can function well in the world. Of course, it's important to know how to function well in the world, but it's also important to know when to sit back and observe.

Most of us don't like doing things like this, because we like to interact with people. But there are situations where this is actually a good thing. For instance, if you're an introvert who needs to keep your feelings intact, but needs to work with other people, you might find that these sorts of interactions could help you to do so.
