THINGS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE AN EXTROVERT AND HAVING A PARTNER WHO IS AN INTROVERT
If you are going to a date or are married to an introvert and stay in a happy relationship, there are certain things you must know. Because introverts are greatly misunderstood, creatures.
It is very difficult for extroverts to accept that introverts can be completely content on the sidelines that they often think they are stand-offish, bored and rude. So often they try to bring introverts out of their shells. They have good intentions. But it is completely wrong.
