[stylist] I would appreciate your help

[Julie J.]

Yes, I enjoyed her book also.  I haven't seen the Ted talk though.  I'll 
have to look that up.

It's interesting to me the different interpretations of introversion.  I 
think perhaps there is stigma around the word?  I'm also interested in the 
factors that allow some people to be wholly themselves, and others struggle.

I'm an introvert too.  I didn't go to prom last year, am not
going this year, am not going to grad night and am proud of it.
I listened to a great talk about introverts on the Ted ex app
about an introvert named Susan Cain who wrote a whole book about
introversion and also had an interview in Reader's Digest.

As an introvert with extrovert tendencies I say guilt is
pointless when it
comes to social activities.  If I don't want to go, don't think
I'll enjoy it
I just don't.  If I think a person will pressure me until I'll
have to be
rude to them I  just say I've a flu and no one  wants a person
there with a
fllu.  LOL.  But usually I'm just honest and say we've other
things to do, or
that I flat  out don't want to.  Our  friends asked us last week
if we wanted
to go to Ashland, like an hour away, to this music thing and I
just said
thank for thinking of us but we're  not into that sort of music
and just
don't want to.  No reason to waste time doing something  out of
any social
obligation when I'd rather do something else.  I tend to be the
most social
when truly around people I really click with, few and far between
sadly, but
if I feel the need to be social that's what I need.  Or an
interesting
environment, meaning something I"m interested in.  Specific types
of music or
food or if it's shops, period type stuff or old toys or
rocks/gems, whatever
as long as I'm into it.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
