[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. I am an introvert and a "sloth". People exhaust me. I have a few very good friends and some acquaintances and I honestly don't have the time or the energy for more. Just reading about the endless girls' weekends, sorority meetups, mommy get-togethers and vineyard tours people post about on FB are exhausting to me. Hanging out with my family with the occasional dinner out with a friend or two here and there are plenty for me. But I know I am probably in the minority here. [/quote]

This sums it up for me.  I like people, enjoy being with them (when I want to).  Otherwise most of the time, I'm perfectly happy with my own company.  I'm not a spur of the moment "go on a vineyard tour, girl weekend" kind of person.  I need to know about it a couple weeks in advance so I can b*tch and moan about having to attend.  Then I show up have a wonderful time and wonder why I dont socialize more.  [/quote]

I could have written each of these posts.  Glad to know there are others like me out there![/quote]

This is me too!  And at various times in my life, I have been more social, but these days, with a full-time job, a DH, a DD, and a house to maintain, these take all my energy and then some.  There is not even a razor's edge sliver of time where I feel I am lonely or bored.  I am usually panting and whining about not having enough time to myself!  When I do view pics of people's comparatively livelier lives on FB, I wonder why I am so different from them and where they get the energy and enthusiasm for so much socializing, all the time.  I think it comes down to those wiht introvert tendencies and their need for inner time (me) and those with extrovert tendencies, who need time with other people to get energized.[/quote]
