[(Anonymous)]

I consider myself to be an introvert, but I'm personally a little torn. If I stay inside for too long, I start feeling guilty for not meeting up with people. Not really lonely, though. I just get this feeling that human contact is probably good for me in the long term. I don't know if that's true for everyone else, so I won't assume it is. Just speaking for myself here.

So, I find that I need a bit of both worlds. I have a handful of RL friends that I really enjoy being with, but I also have a couple of online friends that I'm really close to. The way I see it, the two types of friendships work differently, and have different benefits. With my online friends, I still have a sense of anonymity that allows me to open up more easily without being afraid that they'll judge me. With RL friends, I get to interact with with someone in person. So I like having both. And I can certainly enjoy getting drunk and dancing to loud music, when the opportunity arises.

I still spend most of my time by myself in my apartment, and if I spend long periods of time around other people (like I have over the holidays), I find myself craving solitude after a while. I have a clearly extroverted friend who is pretty baffled that I'm able to actually enjoy being alone, but she responds to it in a way I wish more extroverted people would - instead of making fun of me for being a "shut-in", she says she sort of envies me, that it's good that I don't need people around me all the time and can just be comfortable by myself.

While it's okay that not every extrovert I meet feels that way, it certainly makes me feel a lot better than "So, finally got out of your cave? I hope the sun doesn't hurt too much, har har". It's easy to fall into a "everyone's having really cool lives and here I am browsing the internet, what a loser I am" kinda mood when it feels like everyone you meet have some sort of objection to how you're living your life.

So, long story short, I totally get how you're feeling and want you to know that I totally support you in this :)
