[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think "introvert" and "controlling" are getting conflated in this thread. [/quote]

Agree, but only by a few posters it seems. I am an introvert and just like being able to do my own thing. I'm not trying to control others.  If you read Quiet, you'll learn that introverts tend to care a lot less than others about what people think of them. The most controlling people I know seem to worry a lot about what others think and their controlling behavior is often geared toward shaping other's perceptions of their life.[/quote]

I've read Quiet. However, I disagree with the idea that introverts are less likely to be controlling. The kind of controlling behavior you are talking about may indeed be more associated with extroverts (e.g., image-based control). But I think introverts are much more likely to be very controlling of their environment and by extension, the people who have to live in this environment. That's why I think some people who are enjoying this are actually just very controlling, particularly with respect to their kids. It's not nesting behavior, it's controlling behavior.
