Of course! This explains so much about why I act and react like I do... I remember discussing Introvertion and Extrovertion briefly in this "Why I should love who I am" type class back in Junior High. I remember that all of the extroverted students loved the class and the teacher, who loved them back. All of the introverted students really rather despised the class, and the teacher didn't particularly care about us...
I spent a lot of time drawing in that class.
Now I'm sure that many of you will say, "You're not an introvert, Kruxy. You're one of the most extroverted people I know..." or something to that effect. However this is only true in four cases: a.) I'm in a group of introverts b.) I'm with very close friends, or people I trust c.) I haven't talked to anyone (at all) in a few days d.) I'm drunk
Most conversation tires me quickly. I usually work out all phatic communication in my head before actually engaging in it, this way I can end the conversation gracefully and retreat. When I must continue talking with someone passed my interaction threshold, I actually become physically uncomfortable. I usually have no patience for meaningless small talk. This usually occurs with strangers and acquaintences.
hmmm... that speaks volumes about me, doesn't it?
and I wonder why I'm single... |
