My whole life turned around when I realized how drained I am by
people. Someone suggested I take the Myers Briggs test many years
ago and I realized I was an introvert trying to be an extrovert and
it was taking a toll. (infp) I love people and usually have them
gathered around me, but my mental, emotional and physical health
improves dramatically when I spend at least half my time alone.
Other than that, in this discussion it's rather hard to imagine
anyone in politics or as an introvert, except Jacqueline Kennedy,
the quintessential introvert! That includes world conquerors as
well. Not our thang. Think of Heinrich Heime's poetic statement,
"Oh ye men of action. If only you knew you were but the tools of
men of thought." Something to contemplate. If you call Jacquie's
role political :-) By the way, there's nothing SHY about us ...
it's not about being shy. Most introverts are very strongly
individuated and no pushover. When paparazzi got too close to J.
Kennedy she hit them with her purse.
