Should Introverts Try to Be More Social?

We're encouraged to be social animals, even if we're introverts. But should we succumb to the pressure? 

My PsychologyToday.com article today, offers an internal debate on the subject. 

Note: I'm considering writing a book on people who choose to spend most of their time alone.  They're often called reclusive, a hermit, introverted, etc. But those have pejorative connotations. I plan to write an homage to those who generally prefer to work, play, and live solo.

If you might like to be profiled in the book, would you email me at mnemko@comcast.net? Thanks.
