Hi! I'm Mark Drolsbaugh, author of "People Suck: A Cheat Code for Introverts" and an unapologetic introvert advocate. I'm also a deaf advocate (and author of several deaf-related books, including "Deaf Again" and "Madness in the Mainstream"). I create empowering resources for introverts who are tired of being told to “speak up” or “come out of their shell.” I do the same for deaf people who feel marginalized by the world at large. My introvert world and my deaf world may seem like separate, parallel universes. But there's a powerful theme that connects them: No matter if you're an introvert or a deaf person (or both), you have to deal with a society that expects you to be just like them. If you’ve ever felt pressured to be something you're not, you’re in the right place. My books and articles are meant to help you thrive in this world—on your terms.
