"Introverts of the World, Unite!" -- an Atlantic Monthly interview with Jonathan Rauch, revisiting his infamous "Caring for your Introvert" article from 2003. It's from February but I only found out about it today (thanks, Steve!).

P.S. "need ^to 'recharge'"

P.P.S. Who's that in your icon?

P.P.P.S. Just noticed I already mentioned "Caring for Your Introvert" in the original post -- oops.

P.P.P.P.S. It's fitting that you commented on this post now, actually -- I've been contemplating introversion again during this year's Memoryfest, because there are more people starting more conversations than last year, meaning greater breadth and less depth, which makes me antsy. Or to put it another way, pushes me just a little out of my comfort zone, which can be a good thing. It's just overwhelming sometimes.
