I get sooooo anxious just thinking about what to say.... anyway, no need to vent more. Just saying hi and I SEE you! Thanks for outing yourselves with me. We need an entire thread for introverts!!
I'm shy, I damn sure am.
I reckon that I should change my screen name to 'WallFlower".
You have no idea how long it took me to build the courage just to post on this thread.
Trying to picture you named WallFlower. I can't. Maybe 'Deer caught in the headlights'. *That* I can picture. Wondering what you were like in school?
If a poll was to be taken of how many introverts vs. extroverts participate on forums, what do you all think it would show?1 -
Speaking of introverts, I have a clear memory of when I was just barely a teenager, out for an ice cream Sundae with a friend of mine, sitting at an old-fashioned ice cream parlor type place. I must've acted uncomfortable or something because I remember her saying 'you don't like being around people much, do you?' It was obvious even then?
It's weird how, even though we're in the same family, I am so very different from my sister. She loves people and is lost without that connection, just loves to chat/gab/talk/can't get her to shut up. Then, there's me. I'm a good listener. And usually have very little to contribute to any conversation.2 -
