He always thinks because I'm reading, I'm not doing anything. There is no greater plague to an introvert than the extroverted.

Pierce Brown
About This Quote

The person who is your friend in reality, is not your friend in front of other people. The truth is that the extrovert is the one who builds the social relationships. It's not that they are more social or that they are better at it. It's just that they are more comfortable in front of other people, so they do it more often.

When you are with an extrovert, you feel less lonely because the extrovert is doing all the work. You are not being yourself because you are afraid of being judged by other people. People who are introverts have so many things to say about how much their friendship means to them, but when alone, they don't know what to do.
