    <dl class="introvertmyths">
      <dt><b>Myth #11 – It is difficult for introverts and extroverts to get along.</b></dt>
      <dd>Nonsense.  Just because extroverts talk when they have nothing to say, pressure others to be dishonest, and can't form close friendships doesn't mean that they can't get along with introverts.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #12 – Introverts behave the way they do because they are overly concerned with what others will think about them.</b></dt>
      <dd>False.  It is <em>very</em> important that you understand this about us.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #13 – Introverts are disrespectful of those different from them.</b></dt>
      <dd>Wrong.  You ignorant slut.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #14 – Introverts make poor friends.</b></dt>
      <dd>It's easy to be friends with an introvert.  Just follow this easy rule:  Don't talk about boring subjects (introverts hate that), and don't talk about interesting subjects (introverts would prefer to be the ones to talk when the topic is interesting).</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #15 – Introverts are fragments of psalms (with antiphons) sung while the celebrant and ministers enter the church and approach the altar.</b></dt>
      <dd>You're thinking of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08081a.htm">introits</a>.  A common misconception.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #16 – Introverts are defensive.</b></dt>
      <dd>Nuh‐uh.  You take that back!</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #17 – There is something "wrong" with introverts.</b></dt>
      <dd>No, you're confusing us with shy people.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #18 – Introverts are rare.</b></dt>
      <dd>Actually, if you have ever been uncomfortable in a social situation, you are an introvert.  Your family may suggest that, whatever your disposition, you can "improve" your social skills through work.  They don't understand you as well as I do.</dd>

      <dt><b>Myth #19 – Introverts don't like to concoct absolutist strawman arguments.</b></dt>
      <dd>Introverts like to concoct absolutist strawman arguments.  They just don't like to do it AS MUCH as others do.</dd>
