My mom won't go anywhere by herself! I go out to eat by myself all the time (okay, maybe this isn't a introvert/extrovert thing, I just love being around people!) But my mom is an introvert. She totally relates to my husband who is also a major introvert! <br /><br />I am loving your baby posts on your blog by the way. It makes me anxious for my future.Carolynnhttp://kitty-ears.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-53178236076481516302015-05-01T17:39:33.592-04:002015-05-01T17:39:33.592-04:00wow, that is a totally different perspective!

And that was kind of when I totally realized he was an introvert. I love birthday parties. my husband just wants to relax by himself with maybe 1-2 close friends!!Carolynnhttp://kitty-ears.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-82038344728915838282015-04-22T14:06:07.248-04:002015-04-22T14:06:07.248-04:00Yay!

As a fellow extrovert, I also get excited just thinking about talking to people! :)<br /><br />BTW, when I met you in church three years ago, and you walked up to me and introduced yourself, I just thought you were being friendly, not flirty...Cliff Coatesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-70741153505281551972015-04-21T10:57:21.923-04:002015-04-21T10:57:21.923-04:00It's interesting that you think people react n...It's interesting that you think people react negatively to extroverts, because I've always thought that the world is biased against introverts! :) Ha. I know that lately everyone seems to be focusing on introverts, but for most of my life I felt bad for being introverted and wished I was an extrovert. I was the girl who dreaded homeschool social events in high school because a lot of the other homeschool kids were really confident and talkative and open (basically the opposite of the stereotypical homeschooler), and I was so shy. I always thought that there was something wrong with me and that I needed to make myself change. <br />But in the past few years, I've become comfortable with the fact that I'm just an introvert, not anti-social (well, most of the time...ha). I've finally accepted that it's okay that I don't like being the center of attention, that I'm a homebody who'd rather be knitting than going out on the weekend, that long social events drain me, and that it takes me a while to be comfortable talking to new people. Reading the book Quiet by Susan Cain was really eye-opening for me.Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-50262651592212823702015-04-20T12:07:43.212-04:002015-04-20T12:07:43.212-04:00There's nothing at all wrong with being extrov...There's nothing at all wrong with being extroverted! I admire so many of those strengths, because I just don't have them. I am absolutely as introverted as you can be, and my mom is extremely extroverted, which caused a lot of butting heads growing up. <br /><br />I think introverts are all INTROVERT POWER lately because a lot of us were misunderstood, so to speak, growing up. People would think there was something wrong with me growing up because I just didn't like to socialize as much as other people, and I've never been very talkative, but that's just how I am. And then we all grew up and realized there are other people like us, and that we're just wired that way. Being quiet and doing your own thing is more or less frowned upon when you're a kid, so I think we all breathed a collective sigh of relief to discover there's nothing wrong with us. Extroverts help pull me out of my shell. They're a good thing.Michellehttp://michellesncheese.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-38706817124207728642015-04-20T10:50:23.993-04:002015-04-20T10:50:23.993-04:00Agreed!

As an introvert, I'm very grateful to have some extroverts in my life. It's nice to hang out with people that don't expect you to do all the talking :P Also, I can relate to number 7, so I don't think that's just an extrovert thing. I just can't pay attention if I'm sitting still doing nothing. I have to be involved in some way, or have my hands doing something else so I can listen :PTori Steelmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-41873653107147757452015-04-20T09:35:28.182-04:002015-04-20T09:35:28.182-04:00Also, I would like to add that both personality ty...Also, I would like to add that both personality types can be misunderstood when you first meet someone.

Honestly, having an extrovert friend really helps the introvert in me "come out of my shell." I guess I'd call myself an extroverted introvert: I love people (usually), I love to talk, but people and doing things can be really draining. But having extrovert friends is awesome! :D And, like you, I married my opposite. Brandon is indeed the quintessential extrovert :P I think good relationships need a balance of both, and God created us all as "special unicorns" ;) <br />Love you!<br />Jane EyreJane Eyrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545545571343273883.post-25710158756981136122015-04-20T09:30:35.144-04:002015-04-20T09:30:35.144-04:00Woo hoo!
