Haven't read the list yet, but that is definitely partly why Scott was so panicked, and partly how he ended up in the garage in the first place - he met a new friend and followed her in to help her! Doesn't matter that she was a stranger he doesn't even remember now, he was alone, and then someone talked to him! Yay! A friend! Extroverts are so WEIRD!

We are. Lol

People actually do any of those things on that list? Man Extroverts are a strange group of people...
Lost in a parking garage? Apparently I'm hanging out with the wrong people at Spiceworld.

That list is surprisingly accurate, despite their attempts at exaggeration.
-
We NEED people to talk to... Or something terrible might happen.

Well, duh. If you're not hanging out with us, you're definitely hanging with the wrong people!
-
I often am asked to sit on my hands when I am talking.

But it doesn't help much, or last more than a few seconds.

Yes, that is actually what we are like! At least the extreme ones like me. That list is amazingly accurate.
You totally missed the party at SW. You were there? Did I see you and black out?

Honey, that has nothing to do with being an extrovert, and everything to do with being Italian.
-
But I have a hard time keeping a train of thought when I can't use my hands!

I thought you were busy right now. Why are you posting?!?
-
I loved the one about needing to talk to people in order to recharge but being burned out from a day. Posts like that make me realize how much I hate not having a roommate.
-
Well the hands thing yes, but the what others around me describe as excessive talking isn't.

I missed the party at SW. I have family in Austin and met up with them for dinner... little did I know that was going to turn into an 11PM ice cream run to a frozen custard joint that was closed several years ago... Otherwise I had every intention of making the party.

Have you considered getting a roommate?

You practically missed the even then. The "real" Spiceworld happens after the parties. The parties themselves are skippable, they are for the introverts (see the introvert thread going on) to be "in public" but with lots of noise and stuff so that they are effectively sitting alone watching a show. It is good to give them something to do but to the extroverts and/or the business people there with stuff to do the parties aren't just boring but are a major impediment to the purpose of the conference.
So the big networking really happens at the alternate and after parties. That's where the big time conversations, business transactions, introductions and more happen.
