in·tro·vert

[n., adj. in-truh-vurt; v. in-truh-vurt]
a shy person.
to turn inward
to direct (the mind, one's interest, etc.) partly to things within the self.





if i could change one thing about myself.
that might be it.


the odd part is i can.
and with some people i do.




but as my smart sister aurie said just last night
the biggest difference between an introvert and an extrovert
is that one derives energy from being alone and then spends it being social
and the other one derives energy from being social.



i must be 60/40



i fit the introverted ticket in oh so many ways
 but i can get so 
very lonely
when i leave myself alone to long. 


i want to the the extractor of the introverted. 
because i love when people can pull me 
out of myself.
why not do that for others
 and just forget about this whole
how shy I've been my entire life 
thing.


maybe in the extracting of the introverted i'll extrovert myself.

Love this picture, especially your fingernail polish.

I'd say I am about 30/70 mostly introverted for sure. I like your logic though. As much as I love spending a night alone reading, sometimes you need something with a pulse.
