CG...although shyness can go along with introversion, there are non-shy??? (word?) introverts and shy extroverts. The definition is simply what gives you energy and stimulation...your solitude or other people.
I'm shy, self-conscious with new people, and outgoing too at times, if I know people well and feel safe. But I definitely would rather be alone after having been with a group of people. I don't even understand why a group of people would like to get together and drink...then they aren't even themselves anymore. I missed the boat somewhere because "party" as it is defined is very confusing to me. It just doesn't sound fun.
I could never talk about all the stuff I do here to other people in real life. Most people even those who see me every day at work don't even know me. Not really.
Heck, I've been on this forum almost the longest and have never met anyone else or talked to anyone either.
