Even a neighbor of mine cracks jokes about it. Thank goodness my mother understands me at least. :p<br /><br />If you say you're an INFJ as well, I'm not surprised. :p<br /><br />KristinKristin_Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03405146061692261631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-72863837043026559682012-10-28T12:08:27.132-07:002012-10-28T12:08:27.132-07:00I understand you so very well...

And it´s not only because of external stimuli, it depends also on the other people energy. I have learnt also to protect myself but not only withdrawing, but also staying less "accessible"... Otherwise, their thought, opinions and emotions can impact on me not always positively. <br /><br />PS: Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. Of course, I will continue with it and even when I am looking for a new approach, I will update it on regular basis Zenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115547058200216413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-82444295567265000102012-10-24T16:50:48.661-07:002012-10-24T16:50:48.661-07:00It is hard to maintain that which allows one to be...It is hard to maintain that which allows one to be sociable. That quiet time - the silent phone, the silent voice, the moment where you feel yourself regenerating--I will never trade that for anything as long as I live. And I will never stop making people aware that it is necessary if I'm going to be a part of their life. A lovely post! xoxo Beautiful!

In my case, I am exposed to a lot of external stimulation through my work and lots of friends and interests. Sometimes it just gets a bit much and I long to express the bit of hermit that is in me, ready and willing to set in with the cat and chill out. And sometimes people just don't get it. Your paintings to describe this post are just great. They remind me of charming illustrations that take you to a different world!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-81228381006906985102012-10-22T21:34:39.045-07:002012-10-22T21:34:39.045-07:00Love this post as usual and relate 100%.

It would be good for all extroverts to understand the quieter people but they are so busy being busy and extroverted they don't have time to reflect on such a thing. :)<br /><br />You are going to laugh, but I did not realize I was more introverted than extroverted until I bought my very introverted husband a book called The Introvert Advantage... a wonderful book that points out all the positives to being introverted (as you often do on your blog) and how to live in a world that thinks being extroverted the way to be. <br /> <br />I now believe we are what we are and we all balance each other out I think. Now I am off to spend some quiet time in a book. :)Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-61763221514657710122012-10-22T15:27:30.681-07:002012-10-22T15:27:30.681-07:00Thank you for this honest post and your feeling ab...Thank you for this honest post and your feeling about being alone.

I also feel the need to be alone very strongly and I often withdraw myself from this noisy society. I consciously avoid making too many friends because of this and other reasons.

This post is so well expressed that I believe I will start to see people who isolate themselves from the world a little differently. I have two friends like this and I always wonder, is it me? Although I know it can't be just me because they're not selective; they seem to tune everyone out for a while and then reach out again...so I just accept and move on. Thank you for shedding some light on this and helping me understand the personality type a little bit more.Ileanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200869126695231050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-45768895139681166672012-10-21T11:17:34.016-07:002012-10-21T11:17:34.016-07:00I've never enjoyed going to large parties or b...I've never enjoyed going to large parties or being in a crowd of people. It's easier for me to converse and relate to a small group of individuals and when I'm in a large crowd I tend to draw even further into my shell as I feel uncomfortable and awkward. For this many people have branded me "aloof" and probably there were never friendships made because of this.<br />I feel sorry about it but that is just how I was born, and guess that is how I will always be (said with a noncommittal shrug).<br /><br />Love the fungi paintings, makes me want to take a quiet walk in the woods and look for colorful toadstools. :)Almost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102748566119761703.post-36570478422471550742012-10-20T14:41:18.105-07:002012-10-20T14:41:18.105-07:00I've become more extraverted as I've gotte...I've become more extraverted as I've gotten older.
