Extro-introvertedness
Am I an extroverted introvert or an introverted extrovert? After excitement and looking forward to a Friendsgiving with people I haven’t seen in months (or longer), and then 3 hours laughing and chatting and hanging out, I happily left among the early crowd, drove 30 minutes home with the also exhausted puppies, and went straight to bed. The relief I felt of being in pajamas with clean teeth and the white noise of my fan spinning overhead as the dogs burrowed themselves in my blankets around me was almost overwhelming. Quiet, familiar surroundings and sensations, and being home: my heart seemed to forcefully slow and calm down, as if I’d just been on a caffeine-high. I just want to be invited, and very occasionally see friends, but actually being engaged and involved and active is just...a lot of work. I’m so tired now. Goodnight.
