Sometimes we may find that we don't take care of ourselves. 有时候我们对自己太狠。
I find, for example, after a period of pseudo-extroverted behavior, 我发现自己在假装外向性格一段时间之后，
I need to repair somewhere on my own. 我需要自己躲起来疗伤。
As Susan Cain said in her "Quiet" book, 就像苏珊·凯恩在《安静》这本书中所写，
in a chapter that featured the strange Canadian professor who was teaching at the time at Harvard, 其中一章提到一位古怪的加拿大教授，当时他在哈佛大学教书，
I sometimes go to the men's room to escape the slings 2 and arrows of outrageous 3 extroverts 4. 他有时候会跑到男厕所，为了躲避烦人的外向者投来的明枪暗箭。
I remember one particular day when I was retired 5 to a cubicle 6, trying to avoid overstimulation. 有一次我自己也躲进了小隔间，为了暂避外界纷扰。
And a real extrovert 1 came in beside me -- not right in my cubicle, but in the next cubicle over 这时来了一个外向者到我旁边，当然不是在一个小隔间，是在我旁边的小隔间
and I could hear various evacuatory noises, 我听见了一连串物体落水的声音，
which we hate -- even our own, that's why we flush during as well as after. 这声音是很烦人的，哪怕是我们自己的，所以我们才会在上大号的中途也冲水。
And then I heard this gravelly voice saying, 随后我就听到了一个沙哑的声音，
"Hey, is that Dr. Little?" “嘿，请问是利特尔博士吗？”
If anything is guaranteed to constipate an introvert 7 for six months, it's talking on the john. 如果有什么事情能让内向者便秘6个月，那一定是在上大号的时候聊天。
That's where I'm going now. Don't follow me. Thank you. 我现在就想去洗手间静静。别跟着我。谢谢您啦。
