I’ve had this conversation with some of you many times, but it is interesting enough to me that I want to comb your brains (ew.) Would you consider yourself an extrovert or an introvert?
I am an introvert at heart, but at school I have to be outgoing. All that smiling, talking and being ‘on’ is fine, but draining. Left to my own devices, I am a happy hermit. Group social situations are not my favorite, because I stink at conversation – it’s too much work. It’s much easier and more comforting to sit quietly at home, go window shopping by myself, go outside and check on the cucumbers for the fourth time in an afternoon, or sit in front of the computer for hours.
The extroverted people I know can’t fathom this, just as I can’t understand them. They thrive on being around people, and gain energy from others. Wacky.
So, I’m curious. Are you an introvert or an extrovert, or a bit of both? Explanations are welcome.
