Random Thoughts or Whatever

Viewed "The Wrath Of Becky" last night, and still can't believe I stayed until the end. Wanted to see if it could get any worse...and it did!

For me it was the worst of what "Dark Comedy" can offer. Now I know.


Q
 
Most days, I need to spend at least 20 minutes around other people and at least 20 minutes alone. The rest of the time doesn't matter. Does that make me an introvert or extrovert? Or something else?

If people are attracted to you, it reflects being an extrovert. Or you have lots of money. ;)

It's nice to attract positive people with no hidden agendas. :thumbsup:

Think you made a valid point here, Super. :thumbsup:

The two divergent types of people tend to gravitate towards an occupation wherein their personality makes them feel at home within their "skin"

You've brought out a "blend" that you experience in your line of work, having to talk with clients as to what they want before you start.

So, maybe we have to look at a "scale" of Extro vs Intro, rather than one or the other apposing character traits, eh?

?

I appreciate your response, but my comment is not work specific. It relates to everyday life whether I am working or not. On a work day, it's pretty easy. I wake up at 3am most days and don't leave home until 5:30. So, there is well north of 20 minutes alone. Once I leave home, I interact with people getting to the bus stop, on the bus and at work. Once home, I usually have a couple of hours alone before bed.

Being laid off right now, I often go to the mall just to be around people for a little while. Rarely do I interact with people, I just observe them, say hi to little kids who stare at the big, scary giant (me). Every once in a while, there is an engaging person who has something interesting to say. Recently, a lady who grew up in Germany and married an American man told me some interesting stories about life there vs life here.


Most days, I don't see the clients. We take care of the properties where their summer mansions sit which they occupy 2 or 3 months out of the year and even in the summer, they rarely come outside while we're there. So, my interactions are with coworkers mostly and the occasional manager who stops by or sometimes other people who are doing work on the property.
 
For myself, most of my past occupations pretty much demanded that I engage with people, which had me dealing with the different types out there. So, more of an extrovert, but I do like my alone times as well.

A lot of the of the mixing with others were pleasant...sometimes not so much.
