I love the way you worded this. Right on the dot!RussetDivinity wrote:I tend to be quiet unless I'm with friends or excited. Most of the time this is because I'm thinking things over or observing the world. I feel like a lot of writers have something quiet about them, where they can let thoughts develop into stories.

With that said, I fake being extroverted pretty well. I'm an extrovert at work, because I think it would seem rude if I was too quiet around my coworkers, so I fake it 'til I make it.

I'm usually very quiet also. I never know what to say when I'm around other people.

That's a good point about exposing your thoughts to the world.MichaelMcManus wrote:I lead a very quiet life, but I can hardly be thought of as an introvert. I have had my share of center stage, singing and acting when I was young. I still do a bit of singing in public, mostly in Karaoke bars. If you put a Neil Diamond, Frank SInatra or Bobby Darin song on and hand me a mike, you may be hard pressed to get the mike back. I think most writers trick themselves into believing they are introverts, because writing is such a lonesome endeavor. In actuality, if you have the nerve to publish your written works, you are exposing your thoughts to the world. I would call that a very bold step, something a truly timid person would never do.
Just to warn you though... introverts never claim to be lonesome and some of them out there might attack you if they ever heard you say that. Hahaha. I only say this because I belong to an introvert support group (which never actually meets... lol...). I think you meant "isolated" instead of "lonesome." Actually, to be honest, I don't even care. I am just messing with you because I love talking about introversion. It's my weird fascination in life.
