This sounds so much like him. <br /><br />I think everyone has his/her introverted moments. I'm basically an extrovert, but I have had times when I was intimidated by a situation or hurt when no one noticed something I was proud of, but usually I let all of that roll off my back. I understand other people have other priorities. <br /><br />I can't imagine living my life being in such a constant state of feeling slighted, unworthy, disliked, and/or not living up to impossible standards of perfection.<br /><br />"Lighten up" says it all.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457430229512956956.post-31574840732509828912012-01-20T06:21:24.649-05:002012-01-20T06:21:24.649-05:00Reading this, I'm an interesting mix of intro ...Reading this, I'm an interesting mix of intro and extra... on personality inventories, I'm always an extravert, but some of this really hits home.

And now I'm known as "that Mom", and no one believes that I am shy and introverted.<br /><br />But nothing makes me happier than closing myself up in my house and making my own little world happy. :)<br /><br />THIS, by the way, was a fantastic post.Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457430229512956956.post-41185834603908152112012-01-19T19:07:59.254-05:002012-01-19T19:07:59.254-05:00Those are certainly words to live by and remember....Those are certainly words to live by and remember.

I tend to take it personally. <br /><br />I've heard about this great book called.."It takes all kinds". It's about the different personalities in the personality inventory that many people take. I'm planning on buying that book:)<br /><br />"mama, mama, can she talk?" you are an introvert!stephanyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05956870980510907852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457430229512956956.post-89528269263115695682012-01-19T12:42:57.240-05:002012-01-19T12:42:57.240-05:00Another introvert here!

Everything you said hit the nail on my head.<br /><br />Bad thing is, while I know it, and I have tried to do better, I still feel helpless to change it.<br /><br />I just left the meet and greet with our new VP this morning without ever getting a chance to meet him directly because I felt uncomfortable doing so. I tend to say something really stupid so my philosophy is its better not to say anything. Prolly not the best, eh?

You are very right that we introverts seem too notice so much more than others because we are so focused. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes not so much.Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274668319469085424noreply@blogger.com
