Compare And Contrast Introvert And Extroverts

Every person in this world has their own characteristics that make them unique, but in the end, can either be an introvert or an extrovert. Both introverts and extroverts have different ways of life that make them who they are. Susan Cain, author of Quiet, supports the introvert lifestyle. Introverts prefer to work independently, and to use their brain without relying on others surrounding them. Even though introverts prefer to work alone, they may not always work their best because communication is important. Almost everybody needs some help and guidance at some time or another, even if they do not want it or say they do not need it.
