Introverts in Love: The Quiet Way to Happily Ever After

I bought the book for my partner to read so he can get some insights. Which it does provide, however no scientific research was done by the author so the analysis and conclusions are a bit tentative.

Excellent book. Thank you!

Introverts in Love by Sophia Dembling, is a compact well written handbook for introverts and those who love us. Inside are pages of stories and lessons learned from what must have been years of research and interviews on almost every aspect of relationships, from where and how to meet, to what to do when communication breaks down and lines are drawn.In this book I was able to read things I have never been able to put to my own words. I was able to identify and give voice to times in my life where situations arose that ended in frustration. With the stories of others having the same issues and how they resolved them, I now I find it easier to avoid and deal with such situations as over stimulation and meltdown.For the non-introvert, the book shows how situations can trigger our defenses and what to do about them when it happens. It also talks about and explains by example of our need for quiet and solitude and how this should not be seen as pulling away from those we care about.Overall, it is a well thought out book with many excellent stories and explanations. I'd like to see a deeper more psychological followup but that's just my own curiousness.

This is actually the first book I've ever read about introverts and it shed a lot of light on some of the things I experience in my own life. I'm moderately introverted so while much of the book was helpful, some of the traits or issues she describes didn't fit me. Even with that, though, this book has been very helpful for me in understanding more about interacting with extroverts, how to survive and even thrive in social settings, and the pitfalls I need to watch out for in a romantic relationship. Highly recommended for all introverts!

I have to say this book is excellent. I am an outgoing guy, but I have introvert tendencies in terms of needing significant time to “regroup” and collect my thoughts. I underlined the crap out of this book as I saw so many facets of my own personality within the pages. Which feels really good - to realize it’s not just a “me” thing. The author writes in a casual, likable way that is endearing and enjoyable. This is one of the best relationship/self awareness books I’ve read. And I’m picky. Very picky.

I purchased this book because I am an extreme extrovert and my husband is not. I’m also surrounded by introverts, so I enjoy reading books about communication and introverts. This book has a lot of great perspectives on dating and communicating with introverts, but it lost me on the dating tidbits. The information presented was so basic that I don’t know how it would be useful for an introvert looking to date.

I bought this book for my 24 year old introvert son. I wish I had been able to read this when I was 16 or 18 or 25 years old. It would have helped me a lot. It is a very practical book that does not give all the answers but does raise great questions that introverts need to think about when looking for a life partner. There is great advice based on interviews with introverts that have had both successful and not so successful relationships.I definitely recommend it to introverts that are trying to understand themselves in the world of relationships and romance. It is an easy read but a worthwhile read.
