Johnny Carson was an introvert. [0]
If he could be a professional-calibre conversationalist, then I refuse to believe most introverted people can't at least reach the passable cocktail party level.

- compiler-guy 2y agoNo one is claiming that it can’t be done. Just that introverts don’t like to do it and generally don’t find it worth it.
- ethbr1 2y agoI did and do, and I have several introvert friends who also found it an incredibly useful and fulfilling life skill.
- compiler-guy 2y agoGood for both you and them. But that doesn't mean it is generally true. In fact, enough people in this thread have explained that it isn't (also for them), that at best all we can say is that YMMV.
