I apologise for the part I've played in escalating this whole introvert/extrovert thing. It wasn't my best post. The whole thing, if it's anything at all, is of course a sliding scale, not a black and white thing. And not necessarily what people (including myself) think it is.
The part I was objecting to was the idea that if you don't regularly make friends at parties, then you're going to the "wrong parties." My response to it was a complete blunder, but my policy at parties is to employ one of two "party strategies." I either to stick with people I know like glue, or find one person I make a connection with and monopolise them for the entire time I'm there. Neither strategy has ever ended with me making a new friend, you may be surprised to learn. It's a purely short-term strategy. Point being, it really has nothing to do with the parties, and everything to do with me.
There are a number of places where I do make new friends - parties somehow will never be one of them. I really can't explain why.
Back to the comic - I'm now wondering what Faye is going to do from here. I can't quite imagine her simply leaving well enough alone.
