Document Summary
Are energized by talking to people, playing & working with people, parties, group interactions. Experience loneliness when they are not in contact with people. Sometimes like to be alone, but this is not their preferred way of being. Take frequent work breaks when working on solitary projects. Western culture seems to sanction the outgoing, sociable, gregarious extravert. Extraverts find it difficult to understand why introverts want to be alone. Desire their own space , both in the mind and in the environment. Pursue solitary activities, work quietly alone - reading, meditating, participating in activities which involve few or no other people. May feel lonely, but usually it is in the context of a crowd (such as at a party). Need quiet places and solitary activities to recharge. It just means for their own well-being, they truly need some quiet time for reflection. Enjoy vivid imagery through metaphor, daydreams, poetry, fantasy and fiction.
