RE: The Lone Wolf Syndrome

I recognize a fellow introvert when I see one. Well, not exactly "see" in this case, I suppose. I've been on here two months and I still haven't done an intro post. You know, like you're supposed to do. Typical extrovert propaganda advice. ;)

What I find interesting is that I see quite a few introverts sharing their stories to an entire community on a social network. Isn't that an oxymoron or something?

Sort:  

I'm not an introvert in that sense... I'd just rather write to people than talk to them.

Hmmm. Maybe try drinking more beer. When I'm around a bunch of people, I tend to clam up, especially if I don't know the people very well. After about the third beer, I quit giving a shit about what other people think and then you can't get me to shut up. That's probably an exaggeration, but you get the point.

I tried that and wound up an alcoholic- I've been sober almost 30 years now... I think I'll stay alone, but thanks

Sorry, man. That last comment seems a little insensitive when I go back and look at it. I don't mean to make light of your situation. But I can sure see a lot of myself in your description above.

To be honest, I'm really just kind of intrigued by my own behavior on Steemit. I have always avoided Facebook and Twitter and whatever else like the plague, and I've chalked that up to being an introvert. I would never have even offered an opinion on any of those other platforms.

NP... No offense taken!
