I remember reading somewhere…that even though some people would not describe themselves as introverts or extroverts, the true test would be to find out if being around many people ‘sapped’ their energy or gave them energy (to put it bluntly, for clear understanding). I think this is quite true, and I’d say I agree with this definition. Especially since there’s generally a ‘good’ vibe to saying you’re an extrovert (a lot of people read this as ‘likes people’), as opposed to the ‘bad’ vibe when you say to your dearest friends and family that you’re an introvert, which they might read as: “Oh no! He doesn’t like us. You were right Jeffrey…”. I see these differences mainly in terms of where we get our energy (and usually ideas) from. And it’s probably best not to see it in terms of good and bad. We need the Ying and the Yang to keep the world balanced between left and right and up and down.
Notice how there are those who just can’t be on their own for too long? They need to go out and mingle or do something which involves being with people or being around people. On the other hand there are introverts who can spend a lot of time on their own, but still do need company.
Right now, I’m thinking, do introverts prefer to be in relationships with other introverts? And do extroverts prefer to be in relationships with other extroverts? I really do want your opinion, so If you happen to read this post, do give your answer to these questions in the poll?
On the topic of relationships, why is is that both men and women want somebody who they feel is a bit of a challenge? Like…not a yes-boy or a yes-girl? This is one thing I’ve thought about, doubted, but then found to really be true. And this is probably true regardless of if this person is of ‘very high value’ … as in, very pretty, very handsome, great body, wealthy, talented…
It almost seems like the only demonstration of ‘value’ or high esteem to people is being hard to get or being an asshole sometimes or playing games that men and women play. I welcome your opinion on this too…please comment and tell me what you think about both of these ‘issues’ I have brought up about relationships. The poll is at the bottom of this post, folks!
Have a good day, of course.
