This is actually a useful infographic, but it's done with some humor, so I think perhaps it qualifies for this thread.

How to live/interact with an introvert:

That's a pretty good start. I do feel that introverts can do with some external exposure, but your graphic is on target in one key way - if there's a significant activity involved, sometimes we can enjoy "performing" or "living it up" because the activity is engaging and keeps the pace going, and it's not some parlor party out of Edith Wharton where if you misfire one sentence it becomes gossip for a week.

I've never been accused of being outgoing...and can easily attest to the human interaction energy drain. Because (more often than not) I have to force myself to contend with people IRL.

Good stuff Deozaan!

that was an interesting viewpoint, and helpful advice.
I've actually used that approach fairly successfully when meeting independent-minded ... cats, for the first time.

"Is there any other kind?"

Yes, dopey, highly sociable cats, that end up with so many names around the neighborhood, that they will answer to anything.



During the 12 years that I knew him, I don't think he ever knew he was a cat. I think he thought he was a dog.

A hazardous serum that turns people into zombies, the product of a failed military experiment to create super soldiers, is accidentally released and infects a group of friends when they eat ice cream that has come in contact with the serum.

Sounds like a nod to the 1985 movie "The Stuff"

LOL! Why have I not seen this? 

Because you've got better taste? Or taste buds as the case may be.

But I do love cheese.

So it's juvenile, I still have to cackle at some of those Chuck Norris Facts.

Get ready to piss yourself laughing...

Why we believe Americans are stupid.

Repeal the first amendment!


BWAHAHAHAHA~!

It's slowly becoming clear that there really is a superior race of beings on this planet. Mind you they're obviously not human beings ... My money is on the dolphins.

Are you a moron? Most people are!

Nah, this is more serious in that it's called "Social Engineering". Reduced to basic elements, "Social Engineering" looks ludicrous, but that's because it operates at a whole different plane. (I'd still love to know if anyone did a study on the rise of Facebook imploding the classic Bank Security question "Mother's Maiden Name". Because that used to be kinda hard to figure out. Now you look at Mr. Green and he "Likes" his family ... oh look, there's Papa Green, Mrs. Green, and ... wait for it ... Sally, Matilda, Angie, Henrietta, and Lucy Ostrowowskiej from Poland.)

So you gang are programmers - used to immense technical details. So it's just a little bit mean to call people getting social engineered "morons". It's more like a "Security Flaw" in the brain. We want to be liked, so it throws off defenses. Once known, the hack to abuse a Security Flaw is far lower level than the "original level of intelligence in the system". (That's why there's the derogatory term "Script Kiddie - someone else did the brilliant work finding the flaw, the Script Kiddie just uses it "turn-key.")
