Dear Bitter Butch, Please help me understand and deal with my introverted relatives! I am extroverted and thrive on interaction with others. When I have been left alone without human contact for too long, I begin to go a little batty. Over Thanksgiving, my sibling + spouse + kids came over to my folks’ placeContinue reading “Dear Bitter Butch, are my relatives introverts, or just jerks?”
