How introverted or extraverted you are

Post Reply New Topic

Like my mother I am quite introvered and shy, Unless I have something to say, often about something I'm interested in, I am pretty quiet. I'm comfortable talking to people, especially people I have not met before, but I just keep very much to myself. I either find making friends very hard or do not have much a desire to make friends. Plus I have been pretty much a homebody who shunned going to bars, clubs, parties, school social functions.

I suspect my introvered, shy and withdrawn nature has saved me from getting into even more trouble than I did as a teenager. But hurt me especially employment wise and in the development of my social skills in recent years.

I think my introvered nature is a result of personality, not the fact I am HFA, my mother is more milder autistic than I am, but has the same introvered, withdrawn nature I have.

Ooooh! I am very non-verbally extroverted. This is why places like
Fremont, CA.....or.....Apple Valley Drive me nuts. I am not a stay home
in the evening and put a bus-system-limitation- leash on me kind of
person. I require external energies that I may not socially interact with,
but feed off.

I am usually seen with my computer all the time.



Most persons I have met like this are also NT. They use a book to relax
and small talk sparingly, and thus find me extrovertly annoying.



You will definely fit in with sci-Fi Nt conventions. That is a where
alot of folks like your description dwell. No wonder they found
me annoying.



Hmmmmmm? Now the questions and answer-if-you-chose part.

•making friends hard, or no desire to do so! I assume by your
comfortable writing style you are DX'd and thus I don't need to ask
since this is (making friends not desireable) is common in the spectrum
supposedly.

•Shunned going to bars implies you are 21+. by your writing style 30
is my guess. What are your past events that involved shunning in
bars and other public events.

Mine were obvious, I was "OUtthere" as most would call it. I either
scared you or intrigued you. This either made great sex, or no sex
if you see it from a bar point of view, or club point of view.




Here is the 10k$ clincher. We want honest persons to work for us!.....

THAT YOU ARE!

Oh! we want those who fit in(what they really want)......

THAT YOUR NOT?????

This is the pitfall in the Cubfoods, Coffee shops ect.... down here in
Dakota County's Apple Valley, and Rosemount.

Hmmmmmm? can you add more detail? If you chose!



My mother was described as a wild thing and over-nitpicker and drove
people(like my Grandmother) nuts with her obsessive tendicies.
I inherited much of her character, being that she is my genetic mother,
not raised me mother.

It was from her seed that I have roots and thus origin in life.
At that point it did n't matter who raised me. I am genetically
similar .........as you are to your mother!

I say autism is genetic as your example give says, and mine as well

More the latter than the former, although I have a desire to have friends, but it is not much.



I will be 23 in March, but often feel like 30. I do go to public events, more often when I was living in Melbourne. But never felt a desire to go into bars, clubs or even go to my high school's social dances. I suspect lack of desire to go into these places and also sensory overload contributed to it.

Really I am introverted but I've discovered that by pretending to be extroverted I can keep people at arms length better - I can scare them off, basically . . . but left to my own devices I could exist perfectly well with my animals by myself if someone would stock the grocery store . . .

Im introverted but can be good at putting on a confident front when I need to, when in actual fact deep down I just want to hide or run away. That feeling goes away after a while though and then I dont need to act confident anymore cos I actually feel it. Maybe Im a mixture of the two, not very good at analysing my own personality....

I'm mildly extroverted in general and can be extremely extroverted under the right circumstances.

I'm married so I dont have to go to the grocery store other than my imedate family I stick mostly to myself and my animals
