I can see why you would take issue, especially as you have to be a regular reader of the column to understand where Cary Tennis is coming from. It's honestly not as though Cary Tennis feels this way -- he is quite openly extrovert -- or even that he expects introverts to feel this way. It's that even apart from the original letter he's answering, which talks about that difficulties inherent in a courtship involving two introverts, this is a topic that holds a particular fascination for him (and, I think this is obvious, for me), the constant battle that introverts and extroverts fight to understand each other. That particular passage feels to me (and I do read his column regularly) like a kind of shorthand, reminding readers of discussions on this topic that he's conducted before. It's a little sloppy, I think. But I do not think he honestly feels that way, or expects us to.
