    Poking my head in here before I go to sleep. I would read a book but my eyes are tired of staying open.

    Goodnight Nadine 🤗

    Supposedly, I'm an ambivert but I resemble what's being said on this thread, @slimgirljo15 You're diplomatic and a great facilitator. You've got the knack for bringing things to a peaceful resolution. If there was anyone who could facilitate world peace, it would be you. There are countries that need you. My family needs you. :p Our reunions turn into a big sheetstorm. No one can stand each other when we leave but we can hardly wait for the next one.

    @slimgirljo15 We have too much sibling rivalry, pecking order in the chicken yard but one aunt always says she's not happy until all of her lil chickens are back home in their roosts. She doesn't care where her children live but she's not happy if they're on the road. She wants everyone home. Safe and sound in their roosts. Then she can breathe a sigh of relief. Are you that way about your lil chickens?

    Absolutely.. If I know they are travelling I can't wait for them to be off the roads and safely home.

    Is "introvert" the same as "shy?" I don't think it is.

    ^^ Also in agreement.

    While I can have shy moments in specific 1-on-1 contexts/scenarios, it's not due to my being introverted.

    @MaltedTea Spot on. We learn to swim through the sharky waters in all kinds of ways.

    The best definition of introvert is someone who recharges by being alone. So, at the end of a long, hard day, do you want unwind alone maybe with a good book, video game or solitary walk (introvert) or with a group of friends maybe at a bar or a party (extrovert). It has nothing to do with social skills that can be learned by anyone.

    But ... are there shy extroverts? I don't think there are.

    ISFP here, rejoining MFP after several years away. Trying to be in solidarity with my roommate who is trying to lose weight for health reasons (I have PCOS so I’m right there with her with needing to get fit for my health 😅). I prefer the comfort of cheering on from behind my keyboard, so count me in!
