I don't necessarily want to be out doing something, but Facebook and the blog world are nothing but chirping crickets on Friday nights, making me realize other people have lives :-D.

I can be gregarious and outgoing in public and thus appear to be an extrovert, but it's so exhausting that I know I'm an introvert :).Farmer's City Wifehttp://www.citywifecountrylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-16123310899064476322011-10-11T16:37:31.809-07:002011-10-11T16:37:31.809-07:00Follow through is pain :).

"Oh goodness, this little headache is starting to be a migraine... I'd better stay home." Thankfully my extrovert husband brings me back to reality and gets me to honor my commitments :).Farmer's City Wifehttp://www.citywifecountrylife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-45303447753385895162011-10-11T08:07:46.944-07:002011-10-11T08:07:46.944-07:00I'm an introvert, I guess, but I really try to...I'm an introvert, I guess, but I really try to connect when I'm out with others. And it's not always that I want to be doing something, but a nagging feeling that I must be missing out on something, and that *everyone* is probably out doing something fun while I fold another load of laundry. It's tiresome, and I know it's not true (those assumptions), but I like to feel included. And being the one to always extend the invitation gets old too. But it's a delicate balance, the social life and the family life and the responsibilities that come with it. <br /><br />I think my husband is more of an introvert than I. He'd much rather a small group of people, than a big group. Feels there's no way to really connect to anyone in a large group, which can be true. <br /><br />Your upcoming calendar does sound fun though :)KristyBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-11419839037850973392011-10-11T06:22:26.374-07:002011-10-11T06:22:26.374-07:00Total introvert, disguised as an extrovert, which ...Total introvert, disguised as an extrovert, which is problematic when trying to explain to loving friends why I actually really love spending days out in the woods with no visitors.Mashanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-8561195548869837412011-10-10T19:05:50.224-07:002011-10-10T19:05:50.224-07:00My job requires that I socialize and be friendly a...My job requires that I socialize and be friendly all day and 2 or 3 nights a week , I have found myself cherishing time alone at home with just hubbie.... we rarely get off the "ranch" during our non work hours , but I do think socializing is important but good friends are hard to findMary Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293358159876704690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-30623683831672009602011-10-10T18:02:23.310-07:002011-10-10T18:02:23.310-07:00Mild-extrovert.
