The Introvert's Party

"I am an amiable man.  I can be most personable, if not charming, and whatever I possess in this life is more of less the result of a talent I have for making you feel good about yourself when you are with me.  In this sense I am not a seducer.  I am hardly seen.  I won't speak untruths to you, I won't pass easy compliments or odious offerings of flattery.  I make do with on-hand materials, what I can chip out of you, your natural ore.  Then I fuel the fire of your most secret vanity."
