I have always been a bit of an introvert. In fact, my dad used to force me to meet people so that my interpersonal skills improve. As an individual, I was happiest when left alone.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always been kind of an introvert growing up.
I was always an introvert as a kid. Then, when I first kind of came out as a human being, I used to be one of those guys who'd go nuts on the dance floor, and people would gather around.
I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
There was a point when I was 15 or 16 that I realized that my father wanted me to be a loner. I decided, 'It's okay to be an introvert, but I don't want to be a loner. I want a few other people in my life.'
I wasn't always this introverted.
I am very troubled by the tendency to define introverts by what they lack. Introversion is a preference, not a fallback plan.
By nature I'm sort of an introvert.
I'm actually introverted and shy.
All of us introverts aspire to be more outgoing, but it's not in our nature. When I was nearly 50, I discovered that the best thing to do was to tell everyone I worked with that I'm just shy. People are not mind readers - you need to let them know.
I was always a strong personality. I was never an introvert.
