"On a day-to-day basis, it is suggested this could mean that social contact leads to 'over-stimulation,' explaining why introverts would withdraw or shy away."<p>Anyone else feel like this? I come alive in small groups and one-on-one, but at some threshold (10+ people or so), I feel like there's just too much complexity flying around. Note that I'm pretty sure it's the complexity thing---a group of 300 people all listening to a lecture is easy to deal with, but 40 mixed singles all trying to meet/impress each other seems as complicated as this (<a href="http://xkcd.com/173/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/173/</a>) would be with 40 people.
Using the quotes 'worse for extroverts' doesn't seem justified as it's not a quote of anyone. Does being a single quote permit its use as such?<p><a href="http://ninemsn.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://ninemsn.com.au</a> use quoting like this so often in many of their headlines because their research has shown the quotes in headlines generate more clicks. They could easily be omitted, but the headlines would appear more casual.
OK. Let me get this straight. When you use your brain to perform certain tasks, such as interacting with other people, you're brain gets tired faster than when your brain is not performing those tasks. Right?
