introvert/extrovert

[adrienurse]

Please indulge me while I conduct a little experiment. I became a nurse dispite warnings that it was a career better suited to extroverted people. I do sometimes find working with others a strain (or a P.I.T.A), whatever the situation may be. I'm just wondering how many others share my plight. This "research"being unscientific of course, since just the fact that you are online suggests that you haveintroverted leanings.

Thank the Lord for small favors..... Life as an extrovert is fun,

Fun for me & Fun for those around me !

And interesting, illuminating, exciting!

Boring and dull...those words are not in my vocabulary...

Why hide your light under a basket?

Do you see introvert as being devoid of fun, boring or dull? It is no curse to be an introvert, as it is no gift to be an extrovert; their differences are just how their interactions with others differ and don't determine the quality of their life or happiness. I don't see the benefit of being one over the other. I think most people are both, too.

I'm definitly an introvert. I'm quiet and shy until I feel comfortable with those around me. I'm better then but still have a tendency to be a "loner". With my pts I always make every effort to appear friendly and confident. I am confident in my skills as a nurse so that part is easy. And I am friendly but usually in a quiet way but with pts I just push myself a bit.
