Aron Ph.D. I'm personally not really fond of labeling myself introvert or extrovert because it honestly varies with me. There are times when I find people to be utterly draining, and other times I find that I'm energized by being around them... but I do consider myself to be a highly sensitive person.Nikkianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08769877554857471397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756274743506832019.post-4351861578459761962012-07-20T14:13:58.296-04:002012-07-20T14:13:58.296-04:00The Prince and I are total extroverts, but a lot o...The Prince and I are total extroverts, but a lot of my closest friends are total introverts, so I'm quite good at caring for them :)The Managementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156764149777325182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756274743506832019.post-67288463101615347262012-07-20T12:28:58.705-04:002012-07-20T12:28:58.705-04:00I really love this post.

I was a teacher for five years (just resigned this year) and even though I loved my co-workers and students, I didn't realize until recently that interacting all day was just hard for me! Sometimes at the end of the day I felt like I could not make one more word come out of my mouth!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117365764570406423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1756274743506832019.post-10562122225619314182012-07-20T11:57:31.406-04:002012-07-20T11:57:31.406-04:00p.s.

People are surprised about it too because of my radio background, but just because I *know* how to talk to new people doesn't mean I like to do it. Honestly, being around a lot of people makes me tired. My husband might seem quieter than me upon first glance, but he's actually WAY better at dealing with people.<br /><br />And I have to say #6 is a huuuuuge sticking point for me. I hate it when people change plans last-minute, or forget to tell me about something we have to do.

I love my kids, and love spending time with them, but sometimes its just. too. much. and I need alone time.

That's not to say you won't often find me holed up at the bar with my iPhone, and I don't mind it at all. Sometimes I just don't like making conversation with people. It feels like a stretch and hard. Ugh, and I'm going to a baby shower this weekend that is supposed to have 20 people in attendance.
