Do you consider yourself an Introvert??

I have heard introverts recharge their own batteries where extroverts need other people to charge them up. When you look at it that way, I am glad I am an introvert because the extroverts sound like psychic vampires.

Every Myers Briggs test I have taken over the years says I am an introvert. Yet I have been able to write music, play multiple keyboards and sing in front of audiences, and do recording. These things do not make me that nervous. I can talk to people with psychiatric issues really easy, cuz I work in psych. But put me in a party where everyone is superfical--and I want to leave as soon as possible.

Turtles can always hide in there shell, but that doesn't mean they have to...)))


I think the singing was better in the first video, with the playing a bit better in the second video. First one was quasi-Dylanesque sounding. Hubby ever consider the acoustic?? It is a total riot to finger pick, and the bass has a lot more string clearance. Just the same, he is using about 3 or 4 finger picking variations and I've noticed that most players have their own technique that doesn't vary too much, and that is one's style. Of course there are the Vais and Satrianis, but before too long much of their playing is a 'variation on a theme' too, just at a much higher level of difficulty.

I'm pretty much a happy hermit. I can play the game, as I'm not shy at all but, it's like acting a part in a play and I have to get ready to play the part before I step out into the world of people. It's draining because it's not my natural state.

Here's the best article i've come across on introverts and the misconceptions that surround them:

Sounds like me.

Introverted

How's the paper coming along, OP?

I am a NERD amongst NERDS.

Forever alone, INTJ.

yes

Introverts are busy solving while the people person are busy enjoying it.

No fear, we are busy with things many can even think about.

Introverts are the NWO. hehehe

I would take over the world but then I would have to manage people :)

I do and I'm looking for successful (in whatever field) to perhaps interview for a paper in college.

Seems the world is set up, these days, to embrace extrovertism, bordering on exhibitionism, but what of the quiet folk?

I can be outgoing and I'm not shy, but I always need that quiet time.

Any stories you'd like to share? I'd love to hear of how you've encompassed your natural tendencies to find success.

Some say at least 30% of us are introverts, while the world celebrates the extroverts.

Would love to hear your stories.
