I was having a discussion with my girlfriend last night and had asked her how a mutual friend was doing. She said the friend was fine, but seemed shocked that I was asking about him. Admittedly, I will ask her to check on how people are doing, because she is more of an extrovert and seems to be friends with everybody. I am not someone who will call you up and say, "hey haven't seen you in church in awhile," but I will notice it.
Our friend's reaction made me wonder if there are other misconceptions people have because I come across as introverted. Did my introversion make it seem like I didn't care? Could people just think I wasn't interested? Then I started to think about CC, and all of the folks here who talk about being introverted.
Do you think there are any misconceptions about you because you are introverted? If you are extroverted, are there misconceptions that you routinely encounter? How do you address them when they happen?
