Are you an Introvert? - Page 6

Introvert here (even for a Scandinavian

) At first I was puzzled over the definition of happiness, but as I read the article I realised it's simply a USA American understanding of what it means to be happy.

Extremly interesting article about introverts.

The last part: "What Not to Say to an Introvert" is especially true to me, I hear all those quite often ^^

When I find some time I will also do the test and post my results here, I might see something interesting appear.

There are as many introverts as extraverts, but you'd never know it by looking around. Introverts would rather be entertained by what's going on in their heads than in seeking happiness. Their big challenge is not to feel like outsiders in their own culture.

Finally got around to reading the article - very interesting. I do disagree with the bit I've bolded though - my big challenge is to get people to accept that I don't mind feeling like an outsider in my own culture, that I'm happy to observe and not participate.

Interestingly. As long as I can remember I've felt like an outsider.

btw the red line is a very good trait.
A gift.
The capability of understanding others.

I wonder if people change in this regard. My feeling is that I was much more extroverted growing up than I am now.

You have not read The First Law.

Code:

'Our minds never change!'
'You never change'
'Nothing has changed. I still need vengeance.'
'A man can change,' whispered Logen...yet he stood alone...

To cut the long story short
