Have you considered that you may be an ambivert? I consider myself an ambivert that skews slightly more towards the introvert side.

Hello & welcome. Its introverts so don't expect a lot of chit chat
BTW, I'm the same way with the phone, not just because of being introverted. You'd have to be crazeee to answer phone from numbers you don't recognize. If it's someone one I want to talk with they'll leave a message.

I am the same with answering the phone and returning calls. And messages....they sit in my msg box for like weeks lol

It's a really interesting dynamic. I go line dancing a lot. Line dancing is great cause you can do it ALONE. I keep my conversations there as pleasant and brief as possible and then escape to the dance floor. The people there think I'm friendly and outgoing, but that's because they can't read my thought bubbles

Hi, IE or EI. I was similarly confused during my teens. A series of experiences during my 20s, 30s and 40s persuaded me the mixup was a result of shyness and high IQ. I made it to 88 and it’s a story too long, detailed and exciting to tell here, but you’ll have to do it your own way and I hope you do.

Welcome honey
