You might be an I (Introvert)…
- If you often pause to formulate your response before speaking…you might be an I (Introvert).
- If you get frustrated when others (extraverts) try to finish your sentence during those pauses…you might be an I.
- If you get an invitation for a party that says it will last “from 8pm till the sun comes up” and immediately think to yourself “Okay, I’ll be done with that by 10:30pm”…you might be an I.
- If you return from a family vacation and feel like you need an extra few days of vacation to be alone and re-charge…you might be an I.
- If you’ve ever had someone say “I can tell you’re thinking something…what’s going on inside your head.”…you might be an I.
- If you have a small, very tight circle of friends and consider everyone else acquaintances…you might be an I.
- If you LOVE the day before a holiday when most of the office is on vacation and everything is quiet…you might be an I.
- If the idea of working from home…alone…makes you giddy…you might be an I.
- If it annoys you when someone pops by your cube to get your opinion on a brand new project…you might be an I.
- If you regularly follow-up meetings with an email to everyone saying “I was thinking about what we discussed in our meeting today and I wanted to add that….”…you might be an I.
- If your teammates regularly have to ask your thoughts during a meeting and you realize you’ve been having your side of the conversation in your head…you might be an I.
- If it shocks you when random strangers share aspects of their personal lives…you might be an I.
- If you decide whether or not to go to a party based on which specific people will be attending…you might be an I.
- If doing group activities like team-builders make you cringe…you might be an I.
- If you get frustrated or annoyed when someone “calls you out” in a meeting and asks your opinion without warning…you might be an I.
- If the phrase “Think out loud” makes no sense to you…you might be an I.
Drumroll please.....

And again:
If you have ever had to fight the urge to snatch a cell phone away from an extrovert, shove it up their ***, while screaming SHUT UP to them, you might be an I.

I laughed at the point about needing a mini vacation to recharge after a family vacation.
A few years ago, I was on vacation with my wife and son at my mother's summer cottage. Also in close proximity were my aunt and her live-in, my god-parents, and assorted friends of the family.
One day, my mom mentioned that we were out of milk. I jumped to my feet and said too-loud "I'll get it!".
My wife laughed because she understands me. The store was 15 minutes away and I was gone for 3 hours.
Yeah, I'm an "I"
