We could, though, talk about issues we have as introverts. For example, the perception on the part of the rest of the population that there's something, wrong, that we aren't "normal."

I could talk about the frustration suffered by my extroverted mom and I growing up, when she spent all kinds of energy trying to get me out of my head and engaged with the world around me.

Did anyone else's mom determinedly seek out people with kids their age and make overtures to "make friends" for them? Mine did...all the way through 9th grade.
