Now that I live alone, I'm a lot happier and feel more at peace. I thought I would get lonely living alone, but that hasn't been the case in the least.<BR/>I especially like the part of the article where the writer says that introverts are the majority of the gifted population ;)Sherri.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187622714900069066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-2092435845553623712009-01-09T15:22:00.000-05:002009-01-09T15:22:00.000-05:00Chewbob- I am exactly the same way.

Sometimes the only people I want to interact with are my dogs ( and rumor hath it they are not exactly people) and other times I want to get to know every human on the planet. Has been this way for a very long time. After all these years I think I have learned to cherish both wacky parts of my increasingly wacky self.crone51https://www.blogger.com/profile/06831571973211180467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-20441694385235623792009-01-09T11:04:00.000-05:002009-01-09T11:04:00.000-05:00*sigh* I think I'm both.

Some days I just want to hang out with everyone on the entire planet while other days I want to sit in my apartment and watch an entire season of "House". It's almost more aggravating not being able to pin down if I'm an intro or an extro.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-31923642430705061542009-01-09T10:21:00.000-05:002009-01-09T10:21:00.000-05:00So say we all.So say we all.Camera Obscurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366304095952901048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-34630580765810024332009-01-09T01:47:00.000-05:002009-01-09T01:47:00.000-05:00It's worse if you're an introvert AND shy!

I often spend an hour or two in company with someone else and speak about 1 sentence for every four of theirs (which actually works fine because most people prefer to talk rather than listen!)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22863570.post-68577700536924982132009-01-08T20:42:00.000-05:002009-01-08T20:42:00.000-05:00Oh I love this.
