Do you hear about I-people and E-people？ Understanding these differences can help us know each other better.
I-people are introverts(内向的人).They feel more comfortable when they are alone or with just a few close friends.They often enjoy quiet activities like reading or thinking deeply.They like to listen carefully and think before speaking.
E-people are extroverts(性格外向的人).They feel excited and happy when they are with a lot of people.　▲　 They like talking a lot to you even if they just know you for the first time.And they want to be the leaders(领导者)in group activities.They often feel bored when they are alone for too long.
