..it's not so much that we're introverts, I don't think... maybe we just function better fewer humans...

..it's not so much that we're introverts, I don't think... maybe we just function better fewer humans... Perhaps we are just connoisseurs of fellowship. Maybe we are more selective about who, what, where and for how long. Part of the reason I can hang out indefinitely with that friend I mentioned above is similar interests and a long relationship but probably the biggest thing, is that we can sit somehwere and just enjoy the tranquility. Many times it is at a campfire or some scenic view. Often while smoking a pipe or cigar and having a dram of something good. So many people can not sit at the campfire without the need for a lot of noise. I most enjoy the campfire experience when everyone else is tired out and has gone to bed. I can sit quietly for a few hours just gazing into the fire. I don't mind sharing it with others of similar disposition. Maybe uttering a thought or two once in a while. Mostly just enjoying the primal relaxation of the fire and the luxury of tobacco and spirits. |

He asked, "Did y'all have a falling out?" To which we laughed and explained that we were enjoying 'companionable silence' From time to time we would remark to each other about something we read, but there wasn't a need to be constantly chattering. I don't have another friend I can do that with. She is a special treasure, and we are still best friends. |

My daughters and I can just sit together like that and enjoy the scenery or the moment. Special girls for sure. My mother is the same way. |

Friendship means you don't have to explain everything to each other...quiet and the knowledge that the other person is there for you when needed....and not that you have to be constantly in each others business.
When Josh comes down to visit...we sometimes just sit in the stillness...enjoying the stillness...nothing needs to be said to enjoy the company of that person just being there...friendship means you can go a year without having contact...but knowing that person will be there when needed...THAT to me is friendship...he and I share that.
Welcome back, Lady M...you have been missed....lots!

You're right, Josh, I've been like this since I was a sprout. Don't know why. Just is. Lots of relationships down the drain because of it. Lost quite a few myself, but that's a good thing. I would have been miserable. Some things never change though
Not sure if I'm an introvert, but lets just say the back stage is just as large as the front stage in my theatre.

Actually, introverts don't necessarily have any problem being on stage, they just need to be alone later to recharge their batteries. A lot of presidents, generals, CEOs, actors, etc, are introverts. |

The stage isn't literal. Its a term I was taught in a psychology class. The front/back stage analogy is a representation of when people are socializing and recharging. Also has to deal with how people act when alone vs socializing. In my case, I like equal parts socializing and recharging. More recharging the older I get. Don't ask me the name of text book. haha

Thanks for the clarification, Justin. Equal parts socializing and recharging? I think you're one of us.  |
