alright. i suddenly feel like blogging after reading cassey's blog bou introverts. i suddenly realise one thing, i dunno what am i man. haha. i seem like an introvert, yet an extrovert at times. damn, i dont even know myself. but i know baby's definitely an introvert. haha. i read this article frm cassey's blog again and find it rather interesting, "Caring for your introvert".

Extracts from the article:
Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?

Science has learned a good deal in recent years about the habits and requirements of introverts. It has even learned, by means of brain scans, that introverts process information differently from other people (I am not making this up).

Extroverts are energized by people, and wilt or fade when alone. They often seem bored by themselves, in both senses of the expression. Leave an extrovert alone for two minutes and he will reach for his cell phone. In contrast, after an hour or two of being socially "on," we introverts need to turn off and recharge.(in such case, im an extrovert, however, i like quiet conversations bou feelings or ideas.)

Tsk. complicating and confusing. :(
