In moving toward a daily habit of Inbox zero, and continuing to unsubscribe to lists that no longer serve, blog post reading seems a better substitute.
For the more introverted, more blog posts with animated gifs, and angles on frustrations.
For bloggers and social media, the content choice is still overwhelming with images and SEO always being in big quantity.
It also occurs to me that Quora, quite often has interesting discussions with different perspectives with so many topics.

10 Times Introverts Are Frustrated By An Extrovert’s Misunderstanding
As we age, mature, graduate and turn into real humans who work for a living, we realize we don’t just choose our friends and partners based on the same factors we did growing up.
Now that we’ve reached a certain level of maturity, we notice what type of personalities work with our romantic and professional relationships and friendships.
As a textbook introvert, I sometimes find it very difficult to connect with extroverts, and, if we are too similar, bond with introverts.
We need a certain balance to make deeper connections. Some of the common qualities I invoke, like needing alone time, awkwardness and general anxiety, can come off as negative or annoying to an extrovert.
In the same vein, some of the qualities extroverts invoke, like not knowing what silence is, enthusiasm in the morning and always confronting every issue head on, are even harder for me to grasp, let alone deal with on a daily basis.
The way each personality portrays itself is not always accurately communicated to the other, and there can be a level of misunderstanding at every turn.
From the point of view of an introvert, these are 10 things we want you to know:

Five blog posts with 21 opinions, 17 things and five ways to optimize. My head’s spinning. Liked the last one about what full-time authors know.
Patricia Weber says
Oh Ken! Thanks so much for commenting on the overwhelm in so much of this! It’s so like what I feel when I am trying to narrow my best findings. And now – you’ve given me reason for pause. Thanks.
Ken Dowell says

Susan cooper says
I like the 17 things you’ll only know if you are an introvert. Very funny but at same time real. Those people you can spend tons of time with that don’t drain you are priceless, I agree. Hold on to them. 🙂
Patricia Weber says
Gotta mix things up with humor right Susan?
Susan Cooper says
Indeed – I love the way you think. 😄
Doreen Pendgracs says
Thanks, Pat, for collating these posts and sharing the info with us. I’ve been blogging for 6+ years now and it’s a never-ending process. First I had to move my blog from Blogger to WordPress. then started a second site. then moved both to self-hosted platforms. Then added a 3rd site and then moved all 3 to a whole new site! Primarily to satisfy the new Google mobile-friendly rules. But also to make it easier for myself. Thx for keeping us motivated.
Patricia Weber says
I can’t help but smiling at your comment Doreen. Coming on the heels of Ken’s comment about this weeks collating of posts for inspiration, knowing the never-ending process you’re end, I’m exhausted too. All so much to keep up with. THANKS.
