intro- latin for within or internal

@ria: german also knows both forms: extra/overtiert as an adjective. even though the form with “o” is more common, the one with “a” seems to be etymologically more appropriate for the word derives from latin “extra” and “vertere” ^^

IN Myers Briggs parlance, on which this seems to be drawn, it’s ‘extravert’

The only question is: how does one run away from one’s self? There are days when I think I’m extroverted, and days when I am definitely introverted!

extreme introverts like to hide.
