care and feeding of your introvert

The Habits and Needs of a Little-Understood Group

I'm about 75-80% introvert. I also wilt and get depressive without regular social interaction. It just doesn't have to be very often. I need at least a few hours of "alone time" every day, and need to go out and do something fun maybe once or twice a week at most. Most of the guys I've dated have been much more extroverted than me, and there's always the point where I wail, "WHY do we have to hang out with people every night?!?" (Hence one of the numerous reasons why I don't really mind being single: more free time, fewer compromises on what to do with it.)

I think I'm going to go to the movies tonight, though. Alone.

Yesterday I watched The Ring, and I wasn't impressed. It was gross in a few parts, but not particularly scary, alas.
