My friend...

BTW, I don't mean the generic intro/extrovert personality, I mean neurological intro/extroverts.

Pardon my stupidity, but what's the difference?

Maybe thats why I don't get it because I tend to be introverted. I mean I'm social but not as much as a lot of people. I'm very much content to be by myself and when I have a problem I usually keep that to myself as well.

FWIW, I've come to the conclusion its an introvert/extrovert thing. The introverts I know, male & female, are all stiff upper lip about their relationships. The extroverts, again both male & female, vent to friends. At least as far as verbal talking goes. The introverts seem to have just as much need to vent, they just go about it differently, often through physical means.

Yeah, what is the difference? Intriguing and I'm too lazy to Google it.

I grew up introverted but evolved into a hybrid variation of introversion/extroversion. Can't really give you the ratios on it as I couldn't any longer give a shit one way or another in that manner.

One can die yet be reborn in the same life.. funnily enough.

I reckon it's funny.

I'm a hoot in my own lunchbox.



Rebirth rocks.

Its not a stupid question, its actually quite interesting, IMO. I'm just making a distinction b/t the old Jungian 'extrovert' definition of someone the outgoing and people-loving party goer and the sort whose brain seems to require external stimulation to function well.

Cortical arousal theory and a guy named Hans Eysenck, if you want to read more about it. I don't think you'll find it in wiki, tho google may turn up something or medline.

Indi... you do realize that I think you're ace.... though, I'll trust the mind pathways to the cosmos and middle man exploits to humanity....

Hey, I'm the first one who will admit this is all crap once a better explanation comes along. But, for now, I know a few 'introverts' who fit this description to a T and it helps me understand their biases.
