When did I become an introvert?

Somewhere along the way I have become an introvert. 

Maybe I was always one, battling to be an extrovert. 

Wanting to be the life of the party and the one people wanted to be around.

Maybe I am both? Is that possible?

A hybrid of sorts?

Here are my qualities....

I like to be around people. But people I know and love. 

Get me around strangers and I would rather be alone.

I like to go out but either on my own or with a best pal. 

I don't like to go out to clubs, or bars or anywhere where I may have to "work" at being out.

I like activities but not if cuddling on the couch and watching a good movie is an option.   

I love laughing and being loud/

But I also NEED silence. Quiet is overrated. 

I once told Brandon that sometimes if the room is too loud and there are too many things happening I feel like I am drowning. 

I crave alone time, silence and peace. 

Is it odd that sometimes I have the TV on, but on mute? 

I like watching something but just listening to people talk is sometimes too much?

Is this depressing? Yikes. Maybe. 

I really love that Brandon knows this about me. Sometimes he recognizes it before I do and asks me if I need to go home, or go out alone. 

It's nice to be known like that.
