I can be quite outspoken. I am not afraid to be assertive. The thing is that mostly I enjoy my own company quite a lot of the time. When push comes to shove, I can put myself out there with the best of extoverts. As a mostly introverted person I can say that it doesn’t make me shy of people. I can be quite outspoken.

I need at least one dedicated home day a week, or i get really antsy. I need my downtime reading/gaming or watching movies and most my interactions with people are one on one. I enjoy chatting with people but they are usually close friends ;) People get shocked that I am an introvert since I am not shy, and am currently a masseuse - it means dealing with people.. however it's also dealing with people one on one, in a quiet room and having alone time if there are no clients ;) Nothing wrong with being an introvert, in fact there are plenty of things right with it. Introverts are my kinda people because I have a hungry brain and like all the different facets of conversation it can spin off to. Hehehe see, I’m an introvert.

I wish I had something constructive to suggest, but honestly, it seems that some people just get freaked out and run off screaming. :/ I love your laptop comparison, though -- thanks for that!

I had a similar experience with telling a long-time friend that I am an introvert - she looked at me that same horrified way. I even tried to compare introverts to laptops - quite able to do whatever's needed, but need recharging at home. I don't think she understood. After that occasion, I notice she hardly ever suggests getting together anymore. I guess she assumes that I just told her I am a people-hating crazed loner she hears about in the press!
