In this particular case, for some it’s a PITA and for some a pleasure in life or at least something they seek out. That unbalance is the interesting part I think, just like so many things in life where changing perspective is needed to deal with people. About books and articles...It’s another topic, but I don’t know, I find a lot of these have a “how to fix your personality” angle that is just innapropriate and/or unproductive. Becoming an extravert or small talk guru shouldn’t be the goal. And, as you say, developping strategies to have less people noise and more mindful communication is usually so personal, while not being that hard, that it’s not a very good subject for a self help book.
