I don't really know how to explain it.

Today, I went fishing... I was outside in nature... I felt so good, at peace... There were other people there and there was this Native American festival going on. I felt something on a spiritual level and I was sort of an observer. I've experienced this sort of thing a lot in my life, but for the most part I have been alone and independent in doing so. I feel like things used to be that way with my family, when I was a kid... We would go places and experience that together, but maybe I have just always been more deep.

 

The thing is, when I came home, or when I talk on the phone... It seems like things change for me completely when I start conversing with a family member or a certain friend... Questions are asked... I don't feel the same vibrations I did before. It seems like people just speak and say things for the sake of it...

 

What I suspect is that this is due to me being more of an introvert, and from what I've read concerning it, introverts don't like to be startled by questions, and prefer to have time to answer questions accurately or as they'd like...

 

I don't know... Any insights?

I should add that I end up feeling drained, stuck in my head after certain interactions...

Hey, I wouldn't agree that people say things for the sake of things. I think I know what you mean when you're saying this, but I think it's more that people talk because they want to know about you. More out of being a friend or family member than out of obligation.

 

I know what you mean about feeling peaceful and spiritual when you're by surrounded by nature. I love to out in the water on my kayak. It's one of the best experiences I can think of.

 

I can relate to your problems talking on the phone as well. Sometimes you do feel rushed for a response and this can be frustrating. Feel free to take a pause in the conversation and collect yourself, it's what I have to do sometimes.

 

Remember too, that just because you're an introverted person doesn't mean that all the character traits of an introvert will apply to you. I have an introverted personality, and have to have time alone from people others I just can't think, but I don't fit neatly into the introverted box. I don't think anyone fits in perfectly, they're meant as models and there's going to be places where you differ no matter who you are.
