Well I think that would be very stressful for the extreme loner. I think loners needs a lot of space for themselves and anything that would disturb that would be very stressful for her/him. I am a loner though not that extreme and whenever I feel like to just be silent it would be very disturbing to see some people getting too loud around. But then I can adjust also with that situation.

It could be good for both of them (smile). Opposites often attract. Also...extroverts can enjoy the company of introverts. They can shine like a star!
Also...they can learn things, the deeper things of a more introspective world. Extroverts are often surrounded by people drawn to their charismatic personality; but can find real friendship and peace in the company of a person who is not always expecting them to be the life and soul of every party. Introverts often wish they were more outgoing, and can be fascinated by the striking personalities of extroverted people. Extroverts usually dominate the relationship, but not always: introverts can be sharp, perceptive, insightful. When I was younger I was the life and soul of the party type, dressing loudly, always talking, always showing off, very social, and loving to be the centre of attention; but many of my friends were introverts. Simply, it was just nice to be myself with them; today I'm something of an introvert myself. I always had that side of my nature. Just as now I can still be extrovert. But largely, I'm introspective, inward looking. Few would have believed it who knew me during my youth; but there it is. Isn't life strange (smile).

I think they will swab character... the yammering becomes quieter and the loner becomes yap-yap-ing.
Seriously, it will be good then they can learn from each other. The loner will know how to be more responsive while the yammering will learn how to control the yap yap.

Well, I do believe in the saying that opposites attract and no matter how opposing two personalities may seem, I believe that in the process of exposing them to each other, one will learn the way of the other and vice-versa creating a balance or what we call "chemistry" between the two.
Between the two, I'm the happy-go-lucky one and I've experienced being locked in the same room with an extreme introvert who never talks to anyone unless spoken to. It was really difficult at first because I really can't get her to talk and she would shoot me weird glances but at the end of the day, I got to her talkative side and somehow, she was able to "activate" the quiet person in me. I think that's how harmonious relationships work - when one party creates a new world in the other and blends it in perfectly.
Well, that's what I think based on my own experience. It should be different with different people. :)

Might be good for both of them. I recall when I was in the fourth grade and my teacher made me team with this loner girl. She ended up stabbing me in the elbow with her lead pencil and I learned to defend myself. Opposites not only attract but help us see sides of ourselves we wouldn't normally.

Either they'll kill each other or become friends for life. They'd be quite a couple, although the quiet one will have to suffer at times. I'm a bit of an introvert myself, though I don't go to extremes, and I don't usually mind spending time with people who are talkative and energetic, but sometime they can become too much.

I think that what will happen to them will be something interesting. I see it as a good mix. The attraction of the opposites works well for me. I think that with the combination they will have, a lot of things may happen.
I think that both would learn from the other. They might be hesitant to be with each other at first but in the long run, I think that it will work just fine for them.
