[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound like you are extroverted, you are that way because you were born that way, not because of being an only.[/quote]

OP here.  Definitely more of an introvert.  I prefer one on one time with friends, small groups versus large groups and I usually feel drained after socializing.  But I just hate to be alone in general. [/quote]

OP - I don't think you know what an introvert is.  If you are drained from contact, and unhappy alone, perhaps what you need is therapy?[/quote]
PP, you  are incorrect .
 I'm in only married to an introvert and he expresses the same feelings quite often. I know a number of other introvert who say the same thing.
 It may not be true for everyone who identified as an introvert but it most certainly is common.
 And by the way I am an only who when I was single was used to being alone knew how to enjoy my alone time but I've been married for number of years now and I've sort of lost my mojo in that regard and I'm trying to get it back .

NP, And I don't think PP is incorrect at all. Someone who identifies as an introvert but needs company is not truly an introvert, and honestly might need therapy to understand why they identify that way. Is it because she is naturally an extrovert, but due to opportunities growing up, often only had herself to socialize with? You can be an extrovert but only comfortable with small and intimate groups.

I agree OP, that therapy might be the way for you. It may be a function of how you grew up. I was an only and cherish my time alone, as few and far between those moments seem these days. I dread when I have long periods of time of mandatory fun in groups (let's say a family vacation).
