@NotConvinced i liked the question. i only recently started looking at it this way. and im not even sure if its true for everyone, or if its just for me. i do think our experiences play a big role. but i should add that there is even more at play that i probably don't understand. i know one big thing for me was actually being open to the idea of being less closed off from the world. im not saying being an introvert is a bad thing, but like anything else, it can be taken to the extreme. i allowed my being an introvert to have a bad impact on my life, i didnt like that. so eventually i opened up to the idea of change. i think perhaps if i had only had great experiences, i might have been just fine with being introverted. an odd side note tho, now i would consider myself one of those oddballs on the fence, there are times when i want nothing more than to run away to the woods and not see another person for a month, and there are times where i crave human interaction so much its like a drug.

@NotConvinced oh also, i don't know what to call it, but i wanted to change for a long time and never could, i think even tho i wanted it, i wasnt open to it yet, if that makes any sense.

@NotConvinced As far as I can remember.

@NotConvinced Of course, being an introvert does not mean that I'm shy, I'm not. Just means that I don't talk alot or go to alot of social functions, that sort of thing. I believe in being uninhibited, life is too short for restrictions, live the way you want to live.
