I find that my rather extroverted wife compliments my introversion rather nicely. Fortunately, she understands my desire to limit large social settings, and my need to "recharge" after, and often leave early. After 16 years, she can even tell, at a glance, that I'm nearing my exhaustion point. I rarely have to declare that it's leaving time these days (she does it before I have to).

On the other side, she often says, "I'm going out for a few hours, I'm taking the kids, can you do x, y, z," and it all gets done.

I consider myself to be pretty introverted, but I find that, in purely social situations, I can get along rather well with extroverts so long they respect my quietness. When someone intelligent and funny likes to be in the spotlight, I'm usually happy to let them.

It's when people expect the conversation to be equal (we each take turns asking and answering the same boring questions about "so what do you do?" and that sort of thing) that I get exhausted.

(Actually, though... I guess either way it depends largely on the "intelligent and funny" aspect. Boring people are boring people...)

At work? Please don't interrupt me... I'm working. (or... heh, posting to HN, as the case may be... :-)

Do you also recommend that a Taurus should avoid Libras?

Only in the context of Battlestar Galactica.
