Personality temperament...

[Edwardo Piet]

I, am much happier in text form than speaking on the other hand.

And probably my biggest wish is to be the sort of person offline that I am online.

After all, all my years socializing have been online - I'm not so used to it offline at all. I've been on the internet and had internet friends since I was 12... since I've never really had any friends at all offline.

Sounds like your an "Introvert" then, EvF.

Well... Start in the small and build upon that, EvF.
If you plan to reach that wish.
Because it can be DONE.
Little by little.

I already knew about intro/extroversion of course. But I just read a bit of it and I forgot/didn't know that introversion was not the same as shyness. This explains things somewhat for me I think! - Because I sometimes feel I'm extroverted because I'm not a very shy person at all. But then I sometimes think I am introverted because I prefer time on my own really. So I didn't know which to classify myself as or if I was a bit of both. But the article confirms it for me - shyness and introversion are not the same thing. Despite the fact I'm not at all a shy person really - the fact I prefer time on my own and am not a very social person (unless i can do it from a computer so I have my own personal space and freedom to think and move lol) - the fact it's a preference for me = introversion apparently.

Thanks for that.
