: Re. the following test of introversion/extraversion
I would always cringe at someone calling me introvert...I feel like I
am a quashed extravert. I too get my energy and drain from people, and when
I am with the 'right' person, or in a place that I can trust, I am full
of energy, voice, antics which all seem to flow naturally from me. People
have been 'amazed' at seeing this 'other side' of me. I know, that withing me
there is a fun loving, gregarious, people oriented person. Usually what
charges me is when I am in a place of loving, caring people. When I have 'felt' those words... I love you ... I become truly a living,
loving, sensitive affectionate person. Being affirmed brings so much out
of me. Regretably, I am a very cautious person when it comes to being my self...and
so I drain myself of energy, trying to find a person where being my self
is ok, that I present myself as alone, and to my self. I believe and understand you about quadravert, and I believe that it is
defined by our energy, place and people we are with. Is it safe???
meaning, am I going to receive positive energy from those around me, and from
that extra vert me from my self. The process is still a process of
vigilence, but one which blosoms like a flower in those few seconds of
positive sensing in the vigilence. Sam
