Are You an Introvert or Extrovert?

[Aristus]

19. I'm pretty much an introvert.

So much so that I was overjoyed the very first time I saw the humorous (but true) meme stating: "Stop telling introverts to come out of their shells and be more sociable! I never hear anyone telling extroverts to be more quiet and reserved."

I'm friendly and outgoing when I'm at work at the clinic. It's an important part of the job, getting patients to open up and to trust me. But that's work, and it's exhausting. I'm cool with going to parties and other social occasions as long as I'm with my wife. She's the extrovert; she carries the weight of the sociability, making it easier for me.

That's why I love socializing online, especially here on DU, among people I trust, and can open up to.
