Most of my life I’ve been an introvert. I also know that I need social contact with other people. In my 20’s when I lived by myself in Indianapolis for a year there were some weekends where I could go the entire weekend without actually having a conversation with another person. Twenty years later and I find myself craving community with other groups of people. I still need time by myself to recharge, but I now chose to spend my energy being with other people. One might say this is a sign of finally maturing and being a more well adjusted human.
