I'm an introvert and I own it

LMAO, because I just saw that in the paper and immediately hopped on here to link to it. My brother's wife is an INTJ like me, and he's an ENTJ. Extrovert to the max. He doesn't get the I part with either of us. I love him to pieces, but damn, he wears me OUT.

So DH was very very opposed to the thought that either of us are introverts (until last weekend). Every introvert quality I would bring up, he would agree with, and then say "But we're not introverted". I finally told him that introverts need to recharge after being with people, extroverts are recharged by being with people (thanks, guys). That got him thinking. I think we both need to figure out how to get more "I" time in our lives. It doesn't help that DD will literally writhe on the floor "Daddy hold A. Sob sob sob" if he's home and not with her (unless he's in the bathroom). There is no redirecting her at that point :/

Which is why unhealthy Es wonder why people don't like them. If you are an I you could give an E a little love by explaining this to them.

Through the years I have wondered why people didn't invite me in, why they wouldn't share more about themselves, and whether it really was me. The candor of all of the "i"s in my life and on this board let me know that maybe the problem is a little yours and a little mine.
