I thought the same when I posted it….you know, is this too much? However, Susan Cain explains it so much better than I can so I decided to go with it. No, I never thought of myself as oppressed either but I very much relate to Cain’s feelings of having to overcome the introversion, like it was an inhibitor to success in the classroom and then, later, at work. I admit, as a teacher, to having fell into the trap of encouraging the quiet children to come out of themselves. I am more aware of their needs now and will approach both introverts and extroverts differently in future, that’s for sure!
