When I first moved out of my parent's house 2 decades ago, one of my roommates asked if he could tag along when I was on my way out to a club that I frequented. While we were there I chatted with acquaintances and introduced him to many of the regulars. Later that night, when we got back home, he said,"I have never known anyone that knew as many people in one place as you do." I replied,"Yeah, but how often do you hear my phone ring?" He thought about it for a second and with a look of amazement replied, "Never." I replied, "Exactly!"
I have always been an extremely extroverted loner. I thrive in hugely social environments, but I absolutely need the balance of quiet and solitude in my home. I need both to feel balanced.

I think in many ways this describes me as well
