The false teaching that a woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man........

[PoetMary]

The number of introverts in the population are about equal to the number of extraverts--so nearly 50% of the population.

Being introverted doesn't have anything to do with initiating and/or shyness. Introversion has to do with where a person gets their energy. An introvert is energized by alone time and introspection.

Shyness, on the other hand, is fear of social rejection. Lots of people, introverts and extraverts, fear rejection and will decide not to initiate.

Lots of extraverts will cover their shyness with chit chat and a kind of over-sociability. Introverts usually don't like chit chat, and they don't fear silence, so they're more likely to just to not talk if they're uncomfortable or disinterested.

Btw, I say all this as an introvert who is not afraid to initiate. If I was interested in a man, I'd find a way to have a conversation with him and see if it is mutual.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Also, when those girls women I mentioned walked up beside me and started texting on their phone, they clearly wanted me to ask for their phone numbers. Don’t hate the player, hate the game...lol[/FONT]

And this, more than anything else said, perhaps, reveals your true view of women and yourself in relationship to them. You're the "player," and they're part of a "game" and it's irritating when these game pieces don't act in accordance with your will.

Has anyone ever felt discriminated or put down because they were shy or an extreme introvert?

Yes because this world can't seem to keep quiet. Many introverts have depression or anxiety because the world makes them feel there is something wrong with them.

When I took the personality test it said I was 97% introvert and I am also very shy. I'm starting to think that maybe in a past life I was a turtle..
