Is anyone else an introvert?

so, I have noticed the last few days that whenever I scrap, I like there to be quiet in my house. I sat in my living room with the tv off and made my LO. Is anyone else like this or is it just me? Sometimes I even put on my noise cancelling headphones and don't plug them into anything. I guess that is how I recharge.
 
Me Me Me! I like to sit in my bedroom with the door shut but I open my back patio doors and listen to the water running on my waterfall. I often like to have TV on just for a little noise but not from people who ask questions or interrupt my thought process. I am SO an introvert. I didn't always use to be like this, not sure what has happened but I really just love being home alone in my house. Totally makes me giddy when I have a WHOLE day at home alone by myself.
 
Ohhhh... a waterfall in the background would be awesome! It's funny because I used to think that introvert meant anti-social, but I did some research and learned that it meant that's how I recharge. Then I started looking around at my friends and family. You can pick out who is one and who isn't. For instance, one of my sisters is and one isn't. It's funny because we were talking about it, and one talked about how she loved to be around people and loved the energy, and the other one said, I would rather read a book in the quiet. It's such a cool thing to learn about yourself.
 
I am such an introvert! I recharge when I'm by myself & it's quiet. I don't mind when I have to be around people...but I can tell when I've had enough and need to be alone. When I scrap, I don't have music or anything else on.
 
I definitely need alone time to recharge. I don't consider myself shy or anti social, though my husband and I are hermits in our house a lot. But I definitely get my energy from being alone or in a very small group. My scrapping area is in a central location so I can handle some distraction, but you'd better leave me alone when I'm trying to journal! I need quiet to get my thoughts together for that.
 
I am an introvert indeed! I'd so love a piece of quiet but it's really hard with two little boys and their noisy cousins around :D. I love my evenings for sure.. Even if the TV is on, I get lost in my little introvert world :)
 
I am so glad to see that I am not alone. I love being around my friends and family, but like you Tammy I know when I have had enough. Off to my room to read, I go. I do have the TV on, but it is often for background noise. Dagi, I totally understood where you were coming from with your own little introvert world! And, as for journaling Jennifer, I COMPLETELY AGREE! I can multi-task, but not when I am journaling whether it is in my scrapbook or in my journal.
 
I'm definitely an introvert! I NEED my quiet, alone time. Sometimes I'll read, scrap, or even work in the garden, but if I haven't had that time for a while, I definitely feel more stressed. I guess that comes with having 3 kids and mostly being a stay at home mom for the last 5 years. The older I get, the more I prefer to just stay home as opposed to going to family functions that I really don't want to go to (too much darn unneeded drama!)
 
I'm definitely an introvert, which often surprises people because I'm also a group fitness instructor, so I get in front of people quite often and lead them in fitness classes. I also enjoy public speaking. But although I do enjoy those activities, outside of them I am quite quiet and shy. I definitely need alone time. When it comes to socializing, I'd rather be with only a few close friends or family as opposed to a large group. I am also lousy as small-talk and chit-chat.
 
I am always an introvert until someone calls me and wants to hang out otherwise I am happy just staying inside my nice little bubble.
 
I am definitely NOT introverted. I talk to anyone who will be friendly! People in line at the store, at the mall, park, wherever. I love to be friendly and if someone isn't receptive, then I just move away and shut up. LOL...

I do love some alone time too, I think everyone needs that, but I'm not shy and never was. I love acting and love being with people. I recharge like everyone else, but I'm not one who will shy away. I'm usually the loudest in the group. lol
 
LOL! Trace, I sure hope to meet you some day! You sound like a very fun person to hang around with :)
 
I'm such an introvert! I work in a very busy store, biggest and busiest where I live...sometimes when I come home I am so done with socializing I just need to re-charge and not talk to anyone for a bit!
 
ooo, I like quiet to scrap also... it is so hard for me to get any quality scrapping time in in the summer because the kids are all home. I can get so much more done when things are quiet (and more quickly as well). I do on occasion like to listen to music when I scrap, but that's only when I am using a song for inspiration, or if I'm trying to do meaningful journaling as there are just some songs that tug out the emotions I need.
