Some of my favorite activities are solitary--read, write, play the harp. but I also love to dance with my husband. A parties, I tend to stick with someone I know and I prefer smaller groups rather than larger ones. But I definitely need time to talk with other adults and I thrive on girl talk. <br />I don't think it occurred to me to write these traits into my characters, but most of my heroines are on the introverted scale. Hmmm. Maybe it's time to shake that up a bit. <br />Thanks for the great post.Donna Hatch, Romance Authorhttp://www.donnahatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-58780291175863238382012-03-28T10:36:33.172-06:002012-03-28T10:36:33.172-06:00I think I'd be a psychologist's nightmare,...I think I'd be a psychologist's nightmare, because I faked the extrovert for so many years that I kind of became one.

It just means he need alone time. <br /><br />It's funny becasue I'm always about 50/50 on those tests. Sometimes I need alone time and sometimes I need other people.

I feel the pressure to conform and do stuff with and for them. Then I get frazzled even more, and then comes guilt from wanting my family to leave me alone. Now it makes sense. But how to I let them see that?Carolyn Twede Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262989638447923695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-75582957295619431632012-03-28T07:44:19.399-06:002012-03-28T07:44:19.399-06:00Thanks for clearing this up.

No one would call me an Introvert, but based on this explanation it fits to T. While I can blab on with the best of 'em and be the 'life of the party' in many situations, if I don't get my alone/down time to recharge I turn into one nasty beastie.<br /><br />I guess this is what it means by 'moderately expressed introvert'.
