I don't like to make it seem like we're better than others, but definitely being an introvert has its perks just like being an extrovert does!

One of those perks is the ability and tendency to stay quiet rather than talking all the time, which allows us to examine the situation, and people, too. We are generally more focused on the subtle cues.

On the other hand, I have an extroverted friend and she is the equivalent of a Golden Retriever. She gives everyone a chance, only to be disappointed later despite my warnings.

I don't like being so judgemental (because I am) but this "flaw" of mine has saved me from dramatic, backstabbing people, thus saving my time and peace of mind. I am proud of my healthy friendships so I don't regret cutting out people so often.
