I love being in the center of attention, I like telling stories, make people laugh, hear my opinions and so on. But I also like quiet. I don't like "crazy partying" at the nightclub, I want to sit in a quiet pub having meaningful conversations. And after a crazy weekend somewhere, it's comfortable to just be at home in silence alone.

I don't go back home if I meet a "chic" that night though.

Hahaha I can dance for 5 hours in a row. Although I am exhausted. But when I will return home at early morning I feel so exhausted too and sleep till the noon and when I wake up I feel that I was digging all the night

Bingo. People who live in the south aren't necessarily "heat lovers." I can only speak for my native area of San Diego/OC/LA, but you should hear people moaning and groaning when it's actually hot, as it has been this week. I'm positive they would complain just as much if it were ever really cold. What most people want is a climate that does not inconvenience them. Snow is to be avoided, unless you're on vacation in the mountains. Rain is fine, unless it's falling during the morning commute or the evening commute or on the weekend. Heat is great if you're at the beach or the pool; otherwise you stay close to the a/c.

When I was little I used to think it would be fun to live in a cold snowy climate. My mother, who grew up in Chicago, would roll her eyes and say the snow was pretty for the first day and then it was nothing but a pain in the neck. And the older I get, the more I incline toward her point of view. Give me temps between 60 and 80 all year round so I can go about my activities without any hassle. I don't think it has anything to do with being "mainstream" or"conventional" or introvert/extrovert. For what it's worth, I'm an introvert and I have some unconventional interests. I just want to be able to pursue them without being interrupted by severe weather.

Not the point. After you being dancing, you don't crave for solitude. As in being alone.

You sound exactly like me actually. Although I don't like being the center of attention when I'm hanging with a new group of people. I'm rather shy at first and then come out of my shell, usually with the help of alcohol.

I don't like "crazy partying" either rather than just hanging out on my front porch having some beers or mixed drinks with some friends.

I hate when people do that, as if it's completely impossible to like cold weather or snow just because they dislike it. I've been in temperatures far below 0 F before and I felt much more comfortable than I did at 95 F or 100 F. Snow is fun, but I'd live in a cold,snowy climate not because snow is fun, more because cold is just more comfortable to me. I'm much more comfortable at 15 F than I am at 90 F.

I'm not shy among new people if I'm comfortable. If I'm just joining in a new group, I'm low key, but if the majority of people are familiar, I will just tell my stupid stories.

The porch, crickets, beers, maybe some games, lovely!

Lol, what being an introvert means is that you "recharge your batteries" per say in solitude or in your own company. You seem like you crave social gatherings even after a night of partying....you're more of an extrovert.



Unfortunately for me, the girls I've dated to this point have all been extroverts. They absolutely couldn't understand why sometimes I needed time alone or I didn't feel like going out or they would get mad when I wouldn't text them back for a few hours (honestly, a lot of times I was just busy. But a lot of times I just didn't feel like talking that much lol). Honestly, I'm in absolutely in Nirvana when I'm listening to some good music, out for a good run or walk just in my own world. Of course I do like going out too on weekends...but not too much. I consider myself an outgoing introvert.

Aaaa I see yes hahaha I am like this. But there are days that I want to stay alone at home. Or be at home with a friend for sleep over

Yep the same way. It all depends on the vibe the new group gives me. Some people are good at making you feel comfortable some people aren't though.

Yeah, if it's mostly familiar people but there's a few people there I haven't hung out with, I just tell my normal stupid jokes and stories too.

And yes I agree, it's quite lovely. Not many crickets out here though.....a lot of the time is other people yelling and fighting lol, though on a quiet night there's a good amount of crickets.
