don’t get along particularly well with
those closest to them.
It also helps explain why some introverts—like
Emily, whose talent for
friendship suggests that she’s a highly
agreeable type herself—lavish attention
on their family and close friends but
dislike small talk. So when Greg labels

nurtures her marriage in just the way
that you’d expect an agreeable introvert
to do, making Greg the center of her social

she gets home at night she has little energy

Greg, but sometimes she’d rather sit
next to him reading than go out for dinner
or make animated conversation.
Simply to be in his company is enough.
For Emily, this is perfectly natural, but
