Why every introvert should have facebook.

You don't talk to people. You are shy. Facebook gives you a way to connect that is unique in that you don't have to communicate with other people to know what's going on with them. For that reason, it caters to the introvert-stalker type and the extrovert-attention seeking type. To get the attention they crave is only a click away. I would recommend facebook.com to all my friends and family.

I think people can decide if Facebook is for them or not.

What you say about introverts, I am an INTJ, perpetuates the myths.

We DO talk with people: we're interested in deep conversation not idle chit chat and that IS what we talk with people about.

We MAY or MAY not be shy! The introvert chooses not to engage with groups when it will cost them their energy; a shy person will stay away because of anxiousness or anxiety. Introverts AND extroverts can be shy.

I'm not sure about your attention and stalker comments so I'll need to think that over.

I do however want to set the record straight:

-introverts at NOT anti-social; we socialize differently

-introverts may or may not be shy; extroverts can also be shy

-introverts are NOT aloof; if we appear disinterested in conversation it's likely we are thinking things through

Let's stop the myths as well as believing in them.
