Deep inside I am an introvert. I really did not like most of the people in my Engineering classes because I always thought they were super weird but the irony is that perhaps I was one of them.

Like Mikala said, I am from being socially awkward, I am very good at relating to people superficially and making acquaintances, I am a very well liked person but most people don't know my secret: I am a loner.

Usually when I tell them that, most people don't believe mostly because I have created my own defense mechanisms against being introverted: One of them is being funny and the other one is "pretending" to be outgoing in social situations.

I can totally relate to what Mikala said, she described it well.

Maybe you were offended at the overweight bit. Are you overweight and it struck a nerve? That's the only real problem i cited out of any of them. Other than that I just didn't click with them. I never said they all had problems.

I can relate. I've actually been told that I seem like an outgoing person when people first meet me. Maybe it's just the way I talk or my appearance, but nope, I'm not super outgoing and I am a bit of a loner, always have been. But I have had close friends at different periods of my life so not a complete loner. I had good friends for nearly 10 years but I moved away and we slowly lost touch.

Yerp, then you find one, marry him, divorce him, and have to repeat the process all over again!

OP its just not reasonable to expect every single frog you kiss to become a handsome prince.

Myself, I've met a handful of people who really "get" me, over 50 years.

Someone can look great on paper, like the one and only guy I met online, be attractive and smart and decent - but as dull as ditchwater.

Its one of those things you simply cant fake, predict, or find just laying about anywhere.

Its valued, because its RARE.

Nope, always been tested as INTJ.

I just learned how to form relationships. I'm an INTJ, I studied what I perceived to a problem, and then I fixed it.

I am NOT shy, and I've learned how to have a more open personality, though it can strain me.

I learned "cocktail talk" for lack of a better term. I had to develop in these areas because I needed it for business.

I socialize quite a bit, but then I need to lock myself in a room with book.


Like now I'm running stressed. Had 2 meetings, 2 parties at my house, a GF slumber party and a few other social things in the past two weeks, tonight headed into town for drinks and dancing with friends and stay the night there.

I DON'T WANT TO GO!!!! /whimper

But I will. Next week I'm locking myself in the house.

Yeah... I wouldn't do that unless I really REALLY liked the friend. Otherwise hell no.

One of my best friends. We were inseparable for about 2 years after my husband died. Actually, she is someone who greatly influenced me. She is a super open personality and wears her heart on her sleeve. I learned a lot from her.

How could you possibly know? You don't seem to have a sense of humor. Intelligent people have a rich sense of humor.

I am rather outgoing, and I'm fond of introverts with wry sense of humour. I just can't see them enough to satisfy me.
