 jito rated 4 months agopsychology - Sometimes I'll do the work of an extrovert,however,I
still value my quiet time. :)
From the page: "How can I let the introvert in my life know that I support him and respect his choice? First, recognize that it's not a choice. It's not a lifestyle. It's an orientation.
Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?"
Third, don't say anything else, either. "

- ...one of the most helpful articles I have ever read (thank you pinxpose for forwarding it to me). Growing up, ever since the age of about 11, I have had a distinct affinity for solitude. Just like the author describes, I find people tiring. Not tiring in the sense that I am above others or somehow intellectually superior... no, people literally wear me out! I'm a travesty when it comes to mingling and engaging in small talk. I'm not much into sports, save when I'm watching my boys or brothers play, so I tend not to have much in common with the average guy when it comes to breaking the ice.I enjoy people and I care about people, but I do best in quaint setting and one on one. I love romance, but would be a literal failure at an orgy (ugh!) I want to know about you, but I have no compelling drive to insist upon your knowledge of me. Everything, regardless how menial, has spiritual relevance for me, whether it's thanking someone for a kind gesture, or inviting someone into my home, or preparing a meal, or making love, I see it as important. Thus, perhaps that is why mental and physical fatigue sets in if I engage in group activity for too long. Unfortunately, it does not lend to an abundance of friends, but then, and this sounds insane to most, that's totally cool with me. I'll take one true friend whom I can trust and whom I am completely comfortable with over ten I am never able to fully relax around.

- Reading this, I had this thought: dog-walking is an excruciating hobby for an introvert (unless you discover a wonderful place where you and dog can stroll alone). This is why an introvert will generally get a cat.

- An older article, yet very accurate in my opinion. And as for some folks taking issue with the categorization of introvert and extrovert (let alone things like the MBTI), calm down. Nobody said that there wasn't variance within the categories.

- From the page: "Hell is other people at breakfast."
So happy when I'm free from chatter. My solitude is my sanity.
