Do you consider yourself to be

Really interesting answers.

I believe that I was born as an introvert, like my dad was, but for years it was not socially acceptable so between school and my extroverted mother and brother, I had to come out of my shell. Outwardly, I was able to cope my way through school and the life of work. I don't think many people knew that I really treasured my alone time and was worn out from social activity.

Yet I think the change I had to make left me less centered then I should be. At times I get too chatty and I think it is to calm my uneasiness in social situations. I feel very tense and crowds and public speaking horrifies me.

I am finally at the time in my life where I can spend as little time as I want out with others. I can totally relate to the person who said chatting with others while they are out walking their dog is enough social interaction.
