anotheranonFYI, but not like at least half of y'all didn't know this already :P
Introverts are territorial. Someone cannot take your seat, move your stuff, lean on your desk, ignore your closed door or borrow your clothes without making you very angry.
Not angry, but discombobulated, certainly. The "my cave, my cave!" response.
Introverts value privacy. When your boundaries are disregarded, when someone has a loud personal conversation on their cell phone in your captive presence, such as waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store, you can be annoyed and offended.
Yes, a thousand times yes! I feel chronically rude if I hear half a phone conversation, even if I know the parties on both ends :/
Introverts prefer to communicate in writing. They may feel exhausted by too much verbal communication that “isn’t going anywhere”. Introverts hate small talk.
Hello phone phobia....
Except, just for the record, I personally am neurotic :P Just not ALL of us.
