Kati * Mark * Kathy * Robin * Yolanda

Introverts just like we are ... sharing their stories about what it's like to COME OUT.

You see like many of us introverts I had been told that there was an ideal type of person to be and being me was simply not good enough. --Kati

The more I read on Nancy's site and others the more I could see how I had grown up in a family of extroverts in my dad, brother and sister and that how early on in my life the goal was always to be like them or other outgoing people. I remember so many times forcing myself to be whom I wasn't and feeling exhausted. --Mark

People cause me by far the most difficulty. I love Nature and feel nourished in a forest. I love animals and very young babies - before they learn to talk. -- Kathy

You may not be as confident or as socially skilled or whatever you don't think you are, but remember what you do have, if your feeling down, listen to some music, write down your thoughts, write a story, dance around, spend time with your pet, doing whatever makes you feel good about yourself. -- Robin

One of my main concerns is that many extroverts in the U.S. have a strong tendency to use their excess verbiage for emotionally brutal purposes. For example, extroverts have often asked, me, "Do you EVER talk?" when they know they have heard me literally talk on several occasions. -- Yolanda
