Introvert vs. Extrovert

I've long since had the struggle within myself about being extroverted or introverted.  While I was at school I was the quiet, boring and not really featured girl.  I guess I had my moments of loudness amongst my friends, but I was never a public speaker type person.  I hardly ever landed in the spotlight, and the only time when I did, I was dancing, and usually in a group, so this was different.  I wasn’t exposing ME as such, as dancing doesn't expose me as a person.

I don't know if I like being exposed as a person.  Sometimes I think I do, I like discussing what I believe, what I like, and I love blogging.  Randomly discussing topics which interest me.  But there are areas of me which I would rather not discuss.  LOL.  No offense intended, but with certain things I become extremely private.  You may find it strange that its not with things such as sex or the usual.  Instead its more the kind of things about me which I do not like.  My weak points.  I don't think anyone likes these to be exposed, but I think I might be a bit abnormal.

Now to get back to being extro / introverted...  Sometimes I feel like I need to be the loud mouth spotlight type person which I can only truly be in my imagination, and with my husband.  But when I end up in a group of strangers I am the most uncomfortable person I have ever seen.  I get nervous.  My palms go sweaty.  I go very quiet, and when I do say something I usually stutter or mix up my words.

Its for this reason why I love blogging.  I can't stutter if I get nervous, and though I'm quite comfortable now, I still struggle to find the right words at times.  Here I can "backspace" and correct myself before (or after) posting.

Still I'm struggling to know who I am really suppose to be.  Are we ever "Supposed" to be anything, or is it just what we make of it, and what we make of ourselves?

Ugh, I don't like being philosophical, but I guess we all get moods like this....Don’t we?
