My sweet, as I think I clarified in that other thread, I would find the interruption to my reading annoying, but that annoyance does not apply to the person doing so. I know this sounds like semantics, but the point is that no more than I expect you to try change me would I expect for you to change. I am nervous and sometimes a little embarrassed around extroverts (not as an aspect of shame, but of attention I don't desire), but they are no less on my radar of available friends than any other. They remind me of individuality. They remind me of things I don't do. They most often remind me of a life lived to the extent of all parameters, and the joy to be had in every quarter. I do not desire to be them, but I do desire that they exist in the world to complete and most brightly highlight the spectrum of human nature. So long as you're not trying to drag me along to some 8000-people rave ("COME ON! YOU'LL LOVE IT!") while knowing I'm an introvert, I am certainly open to your enthusiasm, even if I do not necessarily share it, or share it in such obvious ways.
Incidentally, I have no trouble being an introvert or "alone" in crowds. One of the most solitary places available is in the middle of a busy city.

Actually Marc, you have said everything that I would have said to describe myself, except, that you have done it far better than I could have done.
I enjoy watching people, but I am the one in the *coffee club* who is the quietest. Some see it as composure, which of course it isn't.
Cheers.
