I feel like I am an extrovert trapped inside an introvert's body. I love people, but I just plain don't know how to connect effectively or know the "rules" in socialization. I feel like I can relate if I am dealing with a topic I can relate to or something I know about *in a smaller group or one on one*, but put me in a large group or talking about something over my head or not relating to me and I am LOST.

I find when I go out someplace, I have to ask someone, "How long is it? If it's more than 2 hours, I need to leave early."

I don't think there is anything wrong with being introverted, in my life, except that it can get lonely and awkward.

And I do dislike it very much when ppl say to me, "Billi, you need to get out more."!
