Tails from the Bark Side

Introvert. I am happier being on my own - I live, travel, work, sleep and do... pretty much everything alone. I rarely crave company, don't generally go out and seek it, and if I happen to be amongst lots of people for too long I find it completely draining and I'll need to escape. I'm a hermit and I need a shell to hide in damnit or I'll get crabby, el-oh-el. I live in my brain, I think too much, I could be down the pub right now but I'm sitting here writing shit like this about myself... I've noticed though that as I've got older I've found that being with people is a lot less hard to deal with, which is probably because as an adult I can do everything on my own terms; nothing's forced on me like it used to be, through work, peer pressure, etc. I can choose the people I spend time with and make all of the social situations enjoyable all of the time. I am, however, a total performer. I like to show off, sing and dance; generally draw attention to myself... so I am a little bit extroverty. I think everyone has degrees of both, like most things. It's not really a social thing though - when I'm in that mode I'm usually oblivious as to who's actually there. Which probably explains why I never remember people. I suppose that could be my way of getting some attention because I do everything else on my own, haha. Maybe everyone needs their batteries recharged with human interaction, but at different rates. I know that if I'm really down I need more, and I'll go and harrass my family more often or spam Facebook with more attention-seeking statuses, haha.
