[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684324, member: 1550"] Oh, you can get sick of people and need alone time. Introverts prefer it. We cant avoid people and I think most people like certain people, but some limit who we see, how we see them (groups or one on one) and how often, work excluded.We can also choose a social job or a quiet job. If I never go to another party again, ill be happy. Lots of people I dont know, drinking, small talk, noise...not unless I have to attend. I prefer one close person at a coffee shop and then home time to myself. I do like social jobs. It is in my opinion easier and more fun to shoot the breeze with strangers at work who dont require my dreaded small talk than people at parties. I have social anxiety in crowds, but dont mind meeting new people in small groups and never really wished to be an extravert. Honestly, it seems exhausting to me. We are all different which is why sometimes our dreams for our kids do not seem to be what they want. I would have disappointed parents who wanted a social kid. i had a few friends of my choosing, dated a lot, but refused to go to school functions such as Homecoming and Prom. And I steadfastly refused to go to Graduation. I was threatened if I didnt go, but I just shrugged and still did not go. I have never regretted any of what I chose to miss. Just was not my thing. My husband is thankfully similar. [/QUOTE]
