Introverted, depressed more often. Because my understanding of introvert/extrovert is not solely defined by sociability, I remain an introvert. It's just that when I'm hypo, I am waaaay more social. A LOT more. But I don't get my energy
from contact with others, I'm still supplying my own power grid. Big time. Lol.

Really though, I am a loner. I like to go in the middle of crowds and be completely alone, like going to a busy restaurant, but eating by myself and discretely listening to the lives that others are leading, or going to the mall and watching all of the people as they go about their business...

Yup, people-watcher here too. I get the converse with anyone thing too (which is so not the norm for me), but in thinking about it... "converse"... yeah, I'm conversing, but I'm not as sure that it's as interactive as it seems. Does that make any sense? I hear and respond, but frankly probably miss a lot in terms of input when the outgo is so overwhelmingly pressing.

So true! Speaking for my own 7 simultaneous stories (all with parenthetical commentary): And if trees had eyes, they'd glaze over. And the tree would curse that it was not able to move.
