Read excerpt
Ever happened that someone across the table is wrong, and you let it stand?It is an ordinary gathering. Five people, half-finished plates, someone retelling a news story they skimmed on their phone and drawing a tidy little conclusion from half a fact. You feel the correction rise before you've even decided whether to have it. The true version sits on the edge of your tongue, arranged and precise and easy to deploy.And then you take a sip from your glass and say nothing.If you've done this, you
Introverts don't dread the party because they're shy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a version of the introvert conversation that I have grown tired of, and it goes like this: introverts are people who need to be fixed.

You would have been enjoying listening, maybe sharing a bit about yourself to someone who fe

Read excerpt
Ever happened? Your friend laughs at the joke. A beat too fast, a little too loud.Nobody else at the table catches it. You do. You file it away without meaning to, the way you file away almost everything and twenty minutes later, when they quietly say they're fine, you already know they aren't.You've never told anyone you do this. It's not a party trick. It's just what happens when you're in a room.The chip in the mug your mother always reaches for. The half-second pause before someone says "no,
