The Care and Feeding of a Julie - A friend recognized me in this article and passed it along. I love it! ("Hell is other people at breakfast.") Copies will be made and distribued to all V.W. family members (who expect me to be social 28 hours a day - AAGGH!)
Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk. . . . do you tell this person he is "too serious," or ask if he is okay? Regard him as aloof, arrogant, rude?
If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you have an introvert on your hands�and that you aren't caring for him properly.
