People can be classified one of two ways, either introverted or extroverted. Except, I would fall somewhere in the middle. I would definitely consider myself shy, quiet, and introverted. Then again, I would also consider myself warm, social, and extroverted. Anybody would look at me and identify me as reticent, but I have every intention of wanting to be sociable. These are a few signs that you are the same way that I am.

1. You sign up for new clubs or events to meet new people, but immediately regret your decision.

2. You pretend to be on your phone to prevent people from talking to you.

3. You force yourself to go to events so you don't regret not going later, but you end up sitting by yourself.

4. It's easy to talk to strangers because you know you won't see them again!

5. You have to mentally prepare yourself for everything that you will say and do.

6. You go to that social gathering, but end up making friends with the dog.

7. You constantly fear that you will miss out if you don't make yourself get involved.

8. You like being around people, but you just don't talk.

9. You do enjoy being alone, but you DO get lonely.

10. We hate small talk, it's painful. We would rather have deep, meaningful conversations.

Wanting to stay in for the day is okay, and wanting to go out and have a good time is also okay. Be who you are, and people will love you.
