I'm mostly introverted but if you start talking to me first I'm more than happy to be friendly and talk. Also--it can depend at what point I'm in where the bipolar is concerned. If I'm manic, I'll talk to a tree if it will listen. If I'm depressed, there are very few people who are going to get me to really talk. For the most part the only people I'll really talk to when I'm like that are my husband, my brother and our priest. They listen without passing judgement--at least not overtly passing judgement, anyway--and they do try to help me.
