Yeah, I totally understand. Sometimes you just shut other people online out and work with Internet like with huge awesome encyclopedia. Still people can help more than Wikipedia article at times. :)

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Maybe I’ll accumulate bit more comments and do a follow-up post.

Probably I am an introvert who consider internet as a knowledge stream. I don’t use messengers regularly, if anyone needs any support from me, they mail me to get on with messenger and I do…

Yep, being in control can definitely make introvert bit more talkative. It’s not that we don’t want to start discussions, it’s that we don’t want to start discussion that won’t be interesting.

Thanks for visit and comment btw.

I would definitely characterize myself as an introvert. But I still like a fair amount of socializing, and I find a lot of the online social networking tools rather appealing. Perhaps it’s because I can control how social I want to be at that moment.

Introverts can have social skills. We just wield them differently than extroverts.

It’s not really comparing, more like projecting. Somehow in IT we are usually talking about generalized users, generalized admins, generalized programmers, etc… It’s not the case, people have different characters and that does have an impact on their interactions with IT stuff.

Thanks for visit and comment, bookmarked your blog to browse properly later. :)
