I've been noticing 14 months ago

That the majority of people I meet that are more outgoing and talkative than I am are also more insecure,less confident, and worry much more often.

What does that make me? Just an introvert? It’s my understanding that introverts dislike social situations. I enjoy socialization and solitude equally.

I’ve also noticed that the situations in which I find the most trouble speaking are purely relational, the kinds of conversations the average person has in order to build familiarity/intimacy/et cetera. and saying things to make people laugh or give people necessary bits of information come easily.

A girl I barely just met did some kind of chakra reading on me (I was a little curious and bored and I could pretty much feel her worrying that our other classmates were creeped out by what she honestly believes is her God given talent and I can’t just sit around and let a girl stress out like that) thought it was a total crock of horse crap (and I’m still a little skeptical, cause that’s my nature) but she made some pretty astute observations like I haven’t completely established a sense of identity…something like my root chakra’s all screwed up. (and half of my throat chakra)

She’s pretty right though, I spend a lot of my time trying to get to know myself better and I still don’t know where I fit on the shyness scale. I think a lot of my problems…maybe even my aversion to commitment lie there.



Actually this isn't an accurate goal 2 years ago

I’m honestly not a shy person at all. My confidence andself-esteem are great. I love being social and stuff I just have a hard time thinking of anthing to say alot of the time.

I don’t exactly want to become a total extrovert, I like being quiet sometimes, but I hate not being able to talk when I feel like it.

I wonder if anyone else is like this…
