In my youth, I was painfully shy and a nerd. A short while past I told an acquaintance that I was shy and he laughed at me. He thought I was joking. I am still shy, but I can get in there and cut and slash with the best of them. I am an introvert who acts like an extrovert when in a group. One or two close friends is about all I would ever make. A lot of acquaintances.
I don't dislike other people at all. I am always glad to see people when they come around. I am not upset when they don't, and not many do. Do we give off vibrations? I only get lonesome when those near and dear to me are not around.
I am clearly not a people person. Maybe a people person wannabe because that is who society applauds. My job called for a people person. I was a people person impostor then and good at it.
On LGM we can talk without committment, an attractive thing for introverts. No small talk to do, no drinks to get, no looking at the clock, no wondering how it will go, and a captive audience. Touching but not touching.(a large percentage, not all. some extroverts)
I had no idea that I would make this a social site. I wanted to learn how to play the keyboard, and this site was helping me. Early on, I didn't even look at the Lounge. As time passed, I have grown addicted to it and enjoy reading the posts every day. It seems like I know the people. And apparently, I am not the only introvert posting.
