I especially felt for the serious little girl who thought the best part whatever the event had been was leaving.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've done that.

Cheers, fellow introvert!

…myself to legions of strangers is my idea of pure torture.

I agree with a lot of what was shown in the video and DU posters thoughts. I'm not anti-social but I just don't need to be around people for prolonged periods unless there is something we're doing together. I've worked as a precinct inspector during elections where I'm the one in charge of setting up and running a voting location during elections and that's tolerable. Greeting, checking-in voters, and helping them was no problem because it only took about a minute to do that.

As for the phone, anything over two minutes is too long. Just tell me what you want to say and be brief.

One thing I definitely don't like is someone coming over to my home unannounced. I normally don't let anyone in my home so uninvited "guests" are out.
