I feel I am constantly torn between what I must do to fit into society and what I want to do, which is be alone so I can read and paint in silence....If you see me disappear you know I am off with a book and a palette of paint.

I am introvert with extravert qualities, it sounds like we are very much alike. Once you get me out of the house and to the party, I can be the life of that party for about 2 hours and then I run out of energy and need some quiet time. lolol

It's all about energy and I don't get energy from other people, I get it from thinking and doing things. Nice to talk with you @Innerstellar.
