[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Especially when it comes to my family. She complains that they don’t acknowledge her and then will find somewhere alone to isolate herself from everyone. She doesn’t talk to anyone, just sits there. She says she’s an introvert, but I find her behavior weird and kind of bitchy. I don’t understand her behavior and neither does anyone in my family that’s why they don’t speak to her. I want her to get help and change her ways because it’s tearing us apart. I’m at my wit’s end!

Being introverted doesn't mean being shy. It doesn't mean being bitchy. It doesn't mean being surly and unfriendly. It means that it is tiring to be "on" when there are people around. It means you get your energy and recharge by being alone and thinking and doing things yourself.

You are right: Your wife isn't being an introvert. She's being a pill. If she wants people to understand her and like her she needs to make the effort to be with them. One at a time, maybe. It is easier for introverts to have one on one conversations and manage a whole day with people. But she can schedule in some alone time ... a walk with the dog or alone, maybe some crossword time sitting in the other room, or even in the same room, just doing her own thing.

She's got to put forth the effort because the only one who she can change is her. You can talk to family and see if they will make an effort to do some more intimate things with her (chat over coffee rather than a game of charades).

Good luck.[/quote]
