I think I am an introvert (gasp!).
I kind of thought I was a cross between an extrovert and an introvert (a very sexy ambivert), but after watching this Ted talk the other day, I can see some introvert tendencies that brush up against a 24×7 extrovert-leaning society.
One thing that I *crave* that I don’t seem to be able to get enough of these days is quiet time – long periods of do-nothing time – read a book, take a nap, stretch, take a walk time. Last weekend I got some of that time with Winnie and Andy . . . and I loved it :) No laptop, no cell phone reception, just a beach front camping spot and a 7 mile long beach walk to collect shells on a Sunday with no set time we needed to be back (my version of heaven!).
I think I might be a flip-flop wearing introvert?! :)
What do you think? Are you an introvert/extrovert/ambivert? Do you think introverts have a greater need for extended periods of downtime, and how do you get it?
