21. Not really true.

The tricking point is waiting for them to come along. They do, though, don't despair.


This is not really necessarily true. What happens is that whan you have two introverts together it is very likely that social interaction will be minimized. So it's not really that extroverts are particularly compatible with introverts per se but rather that if any introvert runs across another compatible introvert neither one is likely to ever find out that this is the case (and, if either or both somehow knows this, in the worst case, they might not do anything about it anyway).

You should take this with a very large grain of salt (as I am very likely the worst offender here when it comes to under-developed social skills), but I suspect the advice given here by Th1onein couldn't be more wrong. BTW, I'm not at all surprised that Th1onein a female as this might tie in to how females are indoctrinated in society about how these things work.

Passivity is not the answer. Th1onein just got lucky and whatever small usefulness her "wait for a knight ins shining armor to come because they always do" approach might have for some females, it probably will have even less applicability to males (which I don't know ringmastery is since the listed gender in the profile is undeclared).
