Anastasia13 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 This is confusing, unsure what i am. I think i am a bit of both, sometimes one sometimes the other, sometimes i stress alone and sometimes i stress around others, and sometimes i don't. What does that make me ? An extro intro, am i meant to be one or the other ? I need to find me me thinks. :( You may be kind of borderline. I'm almost in the middle myself.

PhuturePriest Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Omgoodness, I carry an extroverted persona in my back pocket that I take out on an as needed basis, usually for work. ;) I interiorly cringe whenever someone tries to talk to me before Mass, but I do my best to be charitable. And I love the sign of peace in the Maronite Rite as it is only passed from Monsignor to the deacon & then down each pew. :) But that's just me... Talking a lot doesn't make you extroverted. This is a huge misconception people have. Many extroverted people are quiet, and many introverted people are talkative. Extroversion and introversion do not mean talkative vs. quiet. Being extroverted simply means you are energized by social interaction, and introversion means you are drained by it. I'm extroverted, but I actually have introverted tendencies. For instance, the textbook extrovert would rather have ten good acquaintances than two or three really close friends, because they want someone new to talk to a lot and like variety. I would rather have the two or three super close friends, which is a textbook introverted quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bus Station Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I hate when people sit near me during Mass. And I hate being surrounded at Mass. You think you've chosen the perfect row where there won't be too many people, then 2 minutes before Mass starts a family of 6 sits in the row in front of you. Haha, so true. First world Catholic introvert problems, man. #FWCIP All y'all sufferin from FWCIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Haha, so true. First world Catholic introvert problems, man. #FWCIP All y'all sufferin from FWCIP I've had the same problem in the third world. Nothing worse than stepping into a small chapel in a third world pueblo and knowing everyone's taken notice of the guy standing in the back trying to look inconspicuous.

Mary+Immaculate<3 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wow, I'm totally crashing the introvert party here. As my teacher said, introverts need time to be alone and quiet or they won't tick right and extroverts need to be thrown in the middle of the party or they won't tick right. I would be described as the latter. It's not as though I don't have my introvert moments though. I don't mind they sign of peace, it was done in the early Church. In the gospels Jesus said before you offer sacrifice (at the temple) for sin, be sure you and your brother have no grudges between each other, then return to offer sacrifice. In a way it's like doing that, but as a personality thing I understand that it can seem like it takes away from the grandeur and solemnity of the Mass. It's interesting seeing what you guys say, because I'm kinda from an outgoing family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
