“If you’re an introvert, you also know that the bias against quiet can cause deep psychic pain. As a child you might have overheard your parents apologize for your shyness. Or at school you might have been prodded to come “out of your shell” - that noxious expression which fails to appreciate that some animals naturally carry shelter everywhere they go, and some humans are just the same.” - Susan Cain
