Hi,

Do you feel that you are an introvert?

I think many of us live introverted lives by circumstances of our bipolar and such.

But maybe we otherwise would be extroverts.

Mari, As you know I don't have Bipolar Disorder (however I certainly am a highly sensitive person in many respects and have other conditions) but I am an introvert and the last thing I can imagine wanting to be is an extrovert. I'm quite happy being the introvert that I am. Just speaking for myself I can definitely say I wasn't made into an introvert by circumstances in my life. I was born that way although circumstances probably have affected the way that I view the world and the people in it and to a degree have made me more cautious about social interaction which never has come easily anyway.

Introverts unite:

We're here
we're uncomfortable
and we want to
go home!

Ha, I like that! I may use it myself sometime.

I know that I am a introvert. I've been that way ever since my mental health issues got worse when I was in High School.

At the time,I wanted to get away from everyone. BF

Mari,

I know a lot of introverts, and have hugged a few lately because I had not seen them in a long time. They do not like it, lol. Most hug back stiffly. Any many of my people will avoid hugs with strangers/new people.

I would not say I am an introvert, but I am not a huge hugger. I get pretty weirded out when someone I don't know tries to hug me (I will sometimes avoid) but I am ok between friends. And then there's people who just want to do it too damn often.
