Explanation of myself.

"Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life". Introverts tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and relatively less engaged in social situations. They often take pleasure in solitary activities such as reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer and inventor are all highly introverted. An introverted person is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people (although they tend to enjoy interactions with close friends, and are in many cases married). They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate.

Introversion is not the same as shyness, though introverts may also be shy. Introverts choose solitary over social activities by preference, whereas shy people avoid social encounters out of fear.

An introvert is energized when alone. Introverts tend to "fade" when with people and can easily become overstimulated with too many others around. Introverts tend to think before speaking."

I prefer NOT to be alone. I'm NOT shy.Yet, I'm soft spoken. My words when spoken are brutal, blunt and cold; not in a rude manner though. I'm often left in thought so often that I merely forget to speak out and share those thoughts. I'm not obnoxiously loud and quick to blot out my opinion. I quoted the DENOTATION (thank you Mrs. Morrison for the explanation of this, ha!) of this state of mind. We're all different and we all fall into different categories in different degrees. This is the CLOSEST representation to me. It's definitely not exact (ironic humor!).

So, I ask all of you.. what are you?
Introverted?
Extroverted?
Ambiverted? (Probably what I am. I haven't read into much of this before this.)


PS
Considering I've had one compliment on my use of colors to emphasize myself (thank you Zane), I'll continue to use it. I use each color for a specific reason.
