I'm not really sold on the personality types - they come across more like astrology in that you can find some identified traits in any category that fit, but no category fits everything.

All the other concepts of introvert and extrovert; like not being the center of attention, being the life of the party, etc.; don't really have anything to do with it. It's simply how you recharge.

It's an interesting subject though.
Your post is true, I am an introvert in the people business, and have been in the people biz, for ever and ever. Although, it is part, of what I do to listen to peoples stories, there are times, I would like to set my hair on fire, and run off into the hills.
As I mentioned in a earlier post, for the GD we go to places like KOA's, but I rarely talk to anyone, and never more than I have to.
Some may think I am unfriendly, and an old grump. Truth is sometimes I just can not stand to listen to another story. And just need my alone time.
They say introverts need 2 hours, for every 1 hour they spend in a social situation, to recharge. That is certainly the case with me.
