Susan Cain Quote

He views self-monitoring as an act of modesty. It’s about accommodating oneself to situational norms, rather than grinding down everything to one’s own needs and concerns. Not all self-monitoring is based on acting, he says, or on working the room. A more introverted version may be less concerned with spotlight-seeking and more with the avoidance of social faux pas.
