Working with introverts can be especially challenging when it comes to interactions. They can come across as rude & hostile when in fact they just want to cut out all social niceties and get to the point as quickly as possible.They're quite a misunderstood bunch really.
Rather than trying to change introverts into extroverts – which is just shooting yourself in the foot – you'd be better suited to making adjustments to them. Being snooty to intros is counterproductive since that will just shut them off and make them resentful towards you.
That said, no man is an island. Collaboration is key to living in a constantly innovative world. If you have an idea and sharing it with them is important to take it to fruition, by all means approach them. Do respect their privacy as you would with any fellow human being, though don't worry about appearing polite. If you do, they'll always expect it, which if you think about it, is kind of hypocritical since they'll throw caution to the wind every time they strike a conversation with you. If you can't hold back on your gentle manners, bring up the differences in both of your approaches to their notice. Since they're so introspective they'll be on the same page as you quite quickly.
