[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dare you, OP, to be silent (listening) for a half hour of a conversation between 3 extroverts (and remember everything that was said) and then try to get a word in edgewise without interrupting or talking louder.  You don't realize it, but extroverts can be very controlling and don't actually care to share the airspace. In my experience, people that are good talkers make poor listeners.  There are also nonverbal things they do like directing their bodies towards certain people to nonverbally exclude the more introverted people.[/quote]

Ok.  So this has been my experience too.  But then I have also been told that I put the “burden” of conversation on other people.  And the OP talks about working hard to keep the conversation going.  I don’t get it.  How can both of these things be true at the same time?  If it feels like a burden, why not set it down sometimes?

I will admit, I have never found a conversation to be a burden.  Either it flows easily or I don’t really engage and find some other way to occupy myself.  Do a lot of extroverts feel a lot of pressure to keep up the small talk?  [/quote]
