I certainly know people who seem very local - or very global. But I think that it's a false dichotomy to think that there's only those two groups. For example I'm pretty mixed. I have a lot of local connections and a lot of global ones. I personally feel energised and enthusiastic about both at different times. There have been times when I've been more "local". There have been times when I've been more "global". In fact I generally get worried when I see statements like this: One will feel more natural to you. Like your tendency to be an introvert vs extrovert, or conservative vs liberal, these base world-views will shape your preferences for being local-focused or global-focused. Because - well - they're not true. Some people change. In the long term and the short term. I know folk who've gone left-to-right politically over the years (and vice versa). The introvert/extrovert divide is notoriously context dependent for many people. From my own experience I've been "local" and some points in my live, "global" in others and now very happy getting energy from both. Not trying to say that any of these groups are better or worse than any other - but there's more than the two extremes. Not everybody stays the same. There isn't a problem with that. Do what the OP did and try different options. If you don't like it or it doesn't work for you - stop and do something else. But don't just say "I'm local" and set your life course from there on. Things might change. Keep you're eye out for that.
