I usually don't have much trouble in expressing myself when it's required, and in a certain company I can be easily the most talkative member. Whenever I'm in a mood thinking "I'm so introverted" and call a friend because there's no one around (hmm. Maybe that tells something too) and tell them "you know, as I'm so shy..." they just laff in my ear, they think it's really funny I say something like that. Thinking about that energizing thing, I can't think of a time when being alone would've charged my batteries more than some random encounter with some nice person. However, I'm sort of conditioned to keep to myself. Taught both by my parents and by some not-so-nice experiences. Basically, if I assumed everyone was nice, I'd probably extravert more in everyday situations. But I tend to think the opposite. I've met both people I haven't seen in a while and complete strangers yesterday and today and I've struck up conversations with them. I've felt more full of energy after that than in a long time. But I tend to distrust people I don't know. I wouldn't call it shyness, because it's not really that. I'd call it keeping the deflector shield up.
