Greetings, ATS!
I was completely surprised at the amount of responses to my the Waiting Game: Do You Feel It? Those responses have left me with a lot of questions. Hence this thread.
I would like to try and find any commonalities amongst those of us who “sense” (for lack of a better word) of anticipation. I feared that if I posted this in the original thread, it would quickly get buried. So the focus of this thread will be solely to look for possible connections between us. To share your stories about your own waiting sensations, please add to the other thread. Thanks!
Here is a list of questions I think would be interesting if we each would answer. If you can think of other questions to ask, feel free to add it to the bunch. We’re just gathering data, looking for correlations, while understanding that correlation does not imply causality.
So, to the questions.
1. Meyer's Briggs Personality Type (take test here)
2. Astrological sign
3. Blood type
4. Highest level of Education
5. Are you a lucid dreamer?
6. Any psychic experiences?
7. Any paranormal experiences?
8. Religious affiliation/ spiritual beliefs?
9. Have you started any recent hobbies?
10. Birth Country and Current Country of Residence
Definition:
Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
