[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, some of the latest responses are applicable for shy folks and not introverts. As one of the PPs responded, shy and introvert are two different things. I am not shy. My management job requires me to be talking the entire day, many times to complete strangers. I do small talk with strangers/neighbors on the street and school. And I can haul myself to a party, put a smile on my face and go on talking to random people for hours. I have done this multiple times before on various meetup groups/work parties/block parties etc.

The only problem is that it is not my idea of quality time, I do not enjoy it greatly and if given a choice I would not attend the random party voluntarily. I think it is more trouble/nuisance than it is worth.

The only reason I said I am looking for an introvert is because they will most likely have the time/energy/willingness for more private, quiet and low key activities, but I do agree it also depends to a large extent on how well you click and the mutual interests shared.[/quote]

Highly extroverted people require a lot of energy to interact with, which can be tough for introverts. They draw energy from other people; we get it from within ourselves. If our work requires extroversion we need even more time to recharge outside of work, and we have less energy to put into what can be, for us, exhausting and fairly meaningless social encounteers.

OP, have you read Susan Cain's book, Quiet? [/quote]
