Worked in a small office by himself and about once a week. On nice days, went to the zoo for his lunch break.John was a lifelong loner; as a child he had few friend and always preferred solitary over family outing . In high school he had never dated and in college had gone out with a woman only once-and that was with a group of student after in both school and college. In college, he had spent a lot of time with one of the close friend-mostly drinking. However, this friend now lived in another city.

 

John reported rather matter-of-factly that he had a hard time making friends; he never knew what to say in the conversation. On a number of occasions, he had thought of becoming friends with other people but simply couldn’t think of the right words so “the conversation just died”. He reported that he had given some thought lately to changing his life in an attempt to be more “positive” but it had never seemed worth the trouble.

b) Explain the consequences of being introverted.

c) Why John conversation just died, before staring?

d) Imagine that one of your friends has such type of personality, what would you do to boost-up his enthusiasm?
