Chris: Good point. You can be a talkitive introvert. I happen to not be one of them!

It’s not necessarily about talking a lot or a little is it ? Which can purely reflect confidence levels.

It’s more a case of energy levels – I can have a really good set of interactions with people and still feel the need to ‘recharge’ by being alone.

Adam: I was quite surprised at the outcome of that game. I still think it will be the Saints and Vikings, with the Saints winning, of course! ;-)

Well, at least you can get up in front of people and sing. That would be mortifying to a person like me!

I was thinking Vikes v. Saints in the NFC Championship game, but after the thrashing my poor Vikings suffered at the hands of the Cards I am also thinking “Who dat gonna beat them Cards?”

Least you know your introverted… I don’t know what I am. Sometimes I like being around people but often I get overwhelmed and my mind can’t process all the interaction. Things like retreats put me over the edge but things like being at church for the most part is fine. Yep, I’m a freak.

You sound like one of those saintly people like my fiance who has discipline herself to get over her introverted tendencies.

I do, however, talk a lot in small groups. Probably because I am too opinionated for my own good :)

Hi Adam, that sounds like an interesting read, I’ll have to check it out. I can definitely relate.

When in a community setting I have to force myself to interact with others, particularly when “small talk” and “chit chat” is called for. Otherwise I do the entry/retreat thing. Of course if the conversation comes around to something I’m interested in or know a lot about, I can talk too much. :)

I also find that I must make an effort a church setting to meet new people and make them feel welcome. It doesn’t come naturally.

Adam: I thought it was going to be the Redskins! Looking ahead, there’s a strong chance of an undefeated season. However, as the Pats proved a few years ago, there’s little comfort in an undefeated regular season when there’s a defeat in the post-season!
