There is a solitude of space
A solitude of sea
A solitude of death, but these
Society shall be
Compared with that profounder site
That polar privacy
A soul admitted to itself--
Finite Infinity.

- Emily Dickinson

The Introverts Community is a meeting place for the many silent members of LJ (yes, we realize the ultimate irony of this). Please feel free to share your lamentations, revelations, and celebrations of this cherished burden.

Introverts and semi-introverts alike are welcome.
