I have seen so many blogs this month due to NaBloPoMo I don't recall. If not, it is Quiet: The Power Of Introverts In A World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain.LissaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584807385075888865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175353338409970074.post-16985712901833095852014-01-28T10:17:49.878-06:002014-01-28T10:17:49.878-06:00You raise a good point, Lissa.

For me, I find that the only thing I'm able to nail down in classifying myself is that I'm indecisive. I'm all over the place. This applies to most aspects of my life, but this topic in particular- there are days I desperately want to interact with others, and days I turn off my phone and pretend I'm not home. Of late, I think I have a need to figure it out because my youngest child is such an enigma, as opposed to my clear cut oldest (introvert) and second child (extrovert). amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787138442619387489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175353338409970074.post-85727382796471907562014-01-28T10:06:46.085-06:002014-01-28T10:06:46.085-06:00This is a favorite topic of mine as you might have...This is a favorite topic of mine as you might have guessed from a previous comment. I 'care' not so much because I want to judge or label people. I find it helpful to AVOID judging too harshly. For example someone I might initially judge as a clown or a jackass at a social event might just be an extrovert who thrives on external inputs and interactions. 'Extrovert' is so much kinder than 'clown' or 'jackass', dontcha think? Seriously, it really does give me better empathy and understanding of my fellow human beings when I feel I have a little insight into how their brains are wired. You are right, few of us are 100% one way or the other 100% of the time. I am an introvert most of the time, but every so often I need to get out and mix with people just for a little variety. I enjoy it, but there always comes a point where, like you mentioned, I want to just go into another room by myself and read a book.LissaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584807385075888865noreply@blogger.com
