1] Do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
– I’m an introvert. But I’m not pathologically introverted ~ I don’t have anxiety about calling peeps on the phone or interacting in person, and I’ve even done a couple stand-up comedy routines. I just prefer not to. I like to be at home with my kitty, 🐱 writing in relative quiet. But I’ll do the other stuff from time to time, or even often, because life. Part of my issue with “doing things” isn’t being with people so much (though I do joke about that) ~ it’s being on the road. Traveling in a vehicle is very dangerous; there are around 30,000 deaths per year on the roads, not to mention injuries. That’s terrifying. I have a lot of anxiety about driving and other drivers, but I believe it’s quite justified.
2] What makes you feel complete, whole or accomplished?
– I enjoy office work. I like being thanked and knowing I helped get a project done. I also like completing an organizing or decluttering task and seeing all the things in their Rightful Places, whether at home or at work.
3] Do you judge a book by its cover?
– Sometimes I am guilty of this, in both directions. 😱
4] What’s the one thing that people always misunderstand about you?
– People take my fiction literally. Ah, if only I had done the all things I write about… what an interesting life that would have been! ✨
Excellent answers Paula, now all we have to do is coax the previous 6 Oh My’s out of you 🙂

I agree with you on #1. I am also an introvert, but I can be outgoing.

Likewise. I do think we’re getting introversion mixed up with shyness or social anxiety. I’ve always needed alone time; now that I’m also experiencing anxiety, I can tell you it’s not introversion. The anxiety is robbing me of even the one-on-one stuff I love and need.

Yeah. Idk. I always come out introvert on those tests because I answer honestly about my preferences. I always would rather be in small groups, or at home rather than out. But I’m not afraid of the other things, just would not choose them first.

I’m in the middle, slightly leaning introvert on those tests. But I know people exhaust me, so introvert I am.

That makes sense. I also experience a degree of anxiety and it’s not the same as getting your energy from inside, which is what introversion originally meant.

Interesting Q&A! I can relate to the answers. I took Office Management as a HS elective in 12th grade and loved it. I was very good at it. 😁
