Cohousing-L Mailing List: Introverts and Extroverts in Cohousing

[Mike Malone (mike]

In the early days of MoCoCo, one of our flaming extroverts asked me 
why I as an introvert would be interested in Cohousing.  After some 
conversation,  it became clear that he and several other extroverts 
assumed that introverts were anti-social and didn't like to intecat 
with other people. For me, one of the most valuable aspects of 
Cohousing is having folks respect my need for privacy and time alone 
while I still have a fairly consistent community where I can work and 
play with people I like and respect.
