There was an awful lot of spilled entrails, bodily fluids and, in James’s words, “funk and stink.” More troubling was the sexual violence perpetrated on men, women and children, sometimes described graphically and frequently with disturbing nonchalance. As fishwomen swam past and mutantlike children scuttled across the ceiling, there was no gentle narrator to chime in with the equivalent of “What is a hobbit?

Introverts have nervous systems that simply react more to everything that's going on around them, and that means they feel more in their sweet spot when there's less stuff happening.
