Introverts

Introverts

require a minimum period of isolation every day to survive psychologically

are energized by weak-link social fields, such as coffee shops, where little interaction is expected

are energized by occasional, deeper 1:1 interactions, but still at arm’s length; no soul-baring

are energized by such 1:1 encounters with anyone, whether or not a prior relationship exists

are drained by strong-link social fields such as family gatherings

are reduced to near-panic by huddles: extremely close many-many encounters such as group hugs

have depth-limited relationships that reach their maximum depth very fast
