Ok. Get this: what goes on inside me is far more real (sometimes this is a HUGE detriment). My thoughts, perceptions, even the dreams I have at night are more real. So I guess I'm a true introvert. This is a good way of determining what 'introvert' and 'extrovert' actually mean. People (myself included) think of it as outward action, not motivation.

: inside them. People Persons find the reality around them is more
: 'real' than the reality inside them, and so they turn towards
: outside reality. Hence extroverts. What Have I Achieved Today
: People find the reality of what goes on inside them more 'real'

: Many extroverts say that achievement is very important to
: them. However, if you ask an extrovert, 'What is it important to
: you to achieve he/she will talk about how by achieve he/she
: creates and maintains relationships, whereas if you ask an
: introvert the same question he/she will say, 'Because that's what
: life's about.'
