I am aware that I am more of an extrovert than introvert, and yes, I do tend to prefer the company introverts.
There are times when I am keep talking because I don't get enough feedback from the listener that the message has been understood. It is OK for close friends/family to interrupt me to add their own point-of-view when I am on one of my long rambles, as long as it is OK for me to return to my point eventually. I probably do end up carrying the conversation on many occasions.
One of the reasons I have a tendency to throw words or ideas out in a conversation when you seem to be searching for the right way to say what your are thinking is to try to show that I am listening and trying to comprehend what you are saying (even if I turn out to be wrong).
reasonably extroverted
