[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was not at all popular as a kid, but my DD, now 10, is.  She's a people person and always has been.  She's always delighted to talk to someone and have someone talk to her, whereas as a kid, there were a lot of time where being around peopel tired me out and I just didn't want to talk.  Classic introvert and extrovert.  I think people pick up on that genuine delight to be around somebody -- and it is genuine and she's very accepting of a lot of different personalities, except mean people.  They actually intimidate her, so I wouldn't say she's perfectly confidental all the time.  But she does have good people skills -- I've seen her connect two kids who don't know each other so they all play together so smoothly I am amazed.  As an adult, I can barely do it.  She's the type who gets picked to show the new kid around, or partnered with a shy kid who needs a little encouragement, according to her teachers.  Judging by who says hi to her when I see her in school, she's pretty well-liked.

I think she'd make a good counselor or therapist as a adult.  She says she's thinking of being a teacher.  I can see that too.  [/quote]

She sounds like a great kid. As a middle aged introvert who has always wished she was extroverted I'm envious of people born with that type of personality. I can put on an act and pretend to be extroverted for short periods of time but it exhausts me. I wish I was always delighted to talk to someone! [/quote]
