Extroverted people tend to be socially rewarded with popularity, are movers and shakers, and tend to regard introverted folks as incomplete, "needing to come out of their shell," or being deficient in some way so as to need "healing." I have dealt with the offensive notion that I somehow need to be "fixed" all of my life. I'm fine, really...now let me watch old movies alone while you go to your party...
Tell me about the quiet people in your life

My son is the quiet one. Always has been.
So far, yer right on
He's pushed himself thru school and on to college
..all the while holding down a full time job
Had the pleasure of working alongside an older gentleman by the name of Moshofski
Heavily degreed
And had the savvy to back it up
With a pencil, a sketch, a few soft words of logic
accompanied with sweeping gestures of his pencil/wand,
depicting thrust, while sketching something as simple as a tiny radius
molded into the inside of a 90° corner of the leg of a golf cart design
A very simple kindly quiet gentleman
with the ability to break down his genius for the common man
He saved our little company a quarter million dollars in fifteen minutes of his time
These types have no need to belittle, to talk down, to put the subject under a microscope
No, they just kindly, gently, quietly show what they know
Then smile
Looking up at yer face, hoping to read understanding in the furrows of yer brow
Life is enjoyable around these folks

Sadly not any more
I am mostly a quiet and more reserved person but also have a sense of humor and love to laugh. My father was a quiet person, too. There was one day we were sitting in the living room and the Benny Hill Show was on. Benny was sitting on the side of the road at a table with two large melons on it right in front of his chest. It looked like he had big boobs--my dad saw that and boy did he laugh. I can't recall many times he laughed but that really got him going. Most of my family is quiet and soft spoken, too.
