introvert me
My thoughts are in my head.
Today, via Slashdot, I found a great article “Experts: Introverted youth have deep roots for behavior” 
that says:
Researchers using brain scans have found introverts have more brain activity in general, and specifically in the frontal lobes.
I finally feel like someone gets it; just because an introverted person doesn’t say much, doesn’t mean there isn’t much going on inside. I value my ‘me-time’ very highly, but I also enjoy time spent with friends and family. Most of my private time is spent knitting because I can sit quietly and think my crazy thoughts. I bet an extrovert would go crazy knitting by their lonesome. Extroverts are engergized by external stimuli while introverts are energized by their own mind.
Extroverts focus their energies outward on actual people and things in their world. They express their thoughts and feelings, however fleeting, freely and openly to their world. Introverts focus their energies inwards on internal thoughts and feelings inside their head. They express their thoughts and feelings to people carefully and guardedly.
An extrovert’s mind is a river that is poured onto the world whereas an introvert’s mind is a river behind a dam that only opens when necessary. I hope this helps you relate to people in your lives and not force others to change.
