    I'm an INFJ and I always hang back and dance a few really good dances. I suppose it helps that I'm a perfectionist, so I'd rather do a few dances really well and totally nail them, than go out and do everything and trip over my feet. My husband is an INTJ.

    I took up dance after my divorce as a cheaper and more fun means than therapy to get over shyness. It was through that process that I figured out that being shy and being introverted, while inextricably linked to one another, are separate things.

    People always think I'm an extravert because I'm chatty, but I'm actually an introvert. Socialising is fun, but drains the crap out of me and I spend most of my evenings/weekends alone. By choice. ;-)
    Feel free to add me!

    I'm not an introvert but you can add me.
    I also have a binge eating disorder and go to addictions meeting in my community for it. At first it seemed silly since everyone was about alcohol and drugs but eating food and binging is an addiction (at least in my eyes)

    You can add me. I'm a fellow introvert that has been using this app off and on for a couple of years on my own and it would be nice to meet some people. :)

    Hey all :) I have been using this app and basically doing this journey alone for a while. I have reached a point where I would really like some support, encouragement and friends that get it. I have numerous health issues and have taken my weight and health into my own hands for lack of a better phrase. I may not talk a great deal but I keep people in my thoughts and know that I am rooting for you every day! It would be great to having some people to chat with that understand the rollercoaster of getting fit, chronic illness, dealing with doctors, fighting the urges to binge and people to share in personal successes.

    Please add me. Im basically going it alone. I go to the gym about 3 x per week. I have high blood pressure, type ii diabetes. Im trying to lose weight, eat healthy. I work at home, try to get steps in. All my fitbit friends are ahead of me. Lol good luck!

    They definitely are. My dad started dancing when I was 12 (my kid reaction was, "Dad is getting WEIRD") and he is a classic introvert, but is by no means shy. He's in it for the dancing and not the socializing, and on the rare occasion he's sitting, will most likely be tuning out the chatter around him while analyzing the dancing of others on the floor.

    One more introvert here. All my friends on this site are people I don't know in real life and I love it that way. The support means more because you know it's more genuine. Anyone can add me. :smiley:
