  • Essay / Introverts the forgotten sheep of the flock - 689

    « Shyness: evolutionary tactic? » This is the article written in The New York Times newspaper. Susan Cane wrote the article in June 2011. The article used various techniques to illustrate its point, such as examples, sources, and new definitions. Cain writes about shyness, introversion, social anxiety disorder, and extroversion. She compares introversion to extroversion. We need equal people in society. In my experience, people exhibit both characteristics at the same time.

When she quoted science journalist Winifred Gallagher, he summed it up as "look before you leap" and Rovers: "do it".

One might imagine that she was mysterious in earlier times. However, today, with advertisements like Zoloft, you would think she was sick. After reading her article, you understand that she is not an introvert. Cain used various sources in his article. Reference work for psychiatrists DSM-IV.
