Welcome, Christian.

You're right, introverts are not victims. We are the way we are due to a combination of genetics and choice. There is no getting around the fact that the world we live in is openly hostile to us and everything we stand for, but that does not mean that we should adopt a victim's mindset. We are strong because we depend upon ourselves, because we seek strength from solitude, and because we do not follow the easy course.

I'll be posting more about introversion and game in the future. Stay tuned.

I think Introverts like me are hungry to hear about what life is actually like, how we feel, the challenges as well as the joys. I skimmed over some of John's blog entries and I absolutely agree with his assessment that some are turning the acceptance of introversion into some kind of victimhood movement. This does not help anyone, least of all introverts.

Love your last sentence: "Introversion, when properly understood and nurtured, is a personality trait that leads to power, wisdom, and strength. It's not an easy journey. John's book may well help make that journey a little better." Well said!

Christian
