shy, rowdy, introvert, extrovert...

and what type of person would you say you are as an adult?

As for me, I was a B+ student with some AP classes, band geek (band, color guard, musical theater) as well as a jock (3 seasons of sports) but I didn't have many friends I hung out with after school. Because I stayed after school nearly everyday for something, I knew OF a lot of people.  My high school had this one click with 30-40 people who did a lot outside school together.  I knew most of them from clubs/sports and yearned to get invited in, but I wasn't.   I was home most weekends and through the summer although I remember occasionally 'hanging out' at the mall with one friend.

I think now my mom knew I didn't make friends easily because I was so shy and quiet, so she encouraged me to be involved in sports so I had something to do.  Luckily sports came easy for me and I enjoyed them very much!   I remember coming home on the bus from away games and sitting by myself looking out the  window as everyone else was rowdy and social and wishing I would have that energy level.  In that sport, I got the award for being "the quietest on the bus" as others got "hardest worker, most improved, best server awards."    : :cry:

As an adult, I am still quiet and shy.  I want to do things and be with people but I lack confidence to do things by myself - like volunteering at my DCs schools.  My husband is a geek and introvert - he's just fine doing things by himself and staying home.  I wish I had that inner peace.
