You? Introvert? I'm not so sure...

  Hah, I can believe. I consider myself an introvert too, even though a lot of people in my Hackerspace are utterly convinced I'm one of the more extroverted people they know. All because I can hold a conversation and like doing public talks every now and then. The best description of introvert / extrovert thing I found is that comic strip - http://imgur.com/76HUN http://imgur.com/76HUN. Being an introvert, social interactions cost me energy instead of giving it, and that's why it's easy to deliver public talks when you feel like it, while at the same time avoiding people for most of the day.

    The strip is great, thanks.

    Yeah, it's a cost of mental energy thing, not an inability to socialize.

    Yeah, but Jon wanders over to my desk to chat on a regular basis. Often for an hour plus. I like Jon and am always happy to chat, just doesn't seem like introvert behavior. Not complaining. :)
