[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carrying entire days, conversations, ideas, actions, decisions for introverts is indeed exhausting. Most people give up and become mute themselves if forced to be with introverts. Which is fascinatingly awkward for most neurotypicals to be completely silent through most meals and encounters with family members. The kids were about 9 yo when they realized one of their parents never talked much, about anything. [/quote]

This is interesting to me.  I am an introvert DW married to extrovert DH.  I do not feel that my husband has ever had to carry entire days, ideas, actions or decisions for me.  Conversations, yes.  My husband can talk about anything to anyone.  I am more comfortable with silence or deeper conversations, small talk has never been my thing.  I do not believe most introverts are like you described above, i.e. expecting others to make decisions, perform actions or make decisions for them.  I think that I am actually far more focused and goal oriented that my husband who is extremely social.  It is just a difference that he gets his energy from interacting with others and I get my energy from taking time to myself.  [/quote]

Sure, my extrovert DW carries all the conversations, but is too busy happily gabbling to handle the ideas, actions, and decisions. Paying attention to all non-social-butterfly matters is my job.[/quote]
