Introvert/Extrovert

Yesterday at Jack's ECFE (Early Childhood and Family Education) class, during the parent discussion time, we talked about Introverts (I) and Extroverts (E). I am without a doubt the far end of probably extreme E. Joe on the other hand is very I but I wouldn't say it's extreme.

This got me thinking... Do I scare people because I'm so forward and open? Am I someone who talks too much and has a lot of "verbal vomit" (A term coined but the I people in the class for the E people) I feel like my intentions are mostly good but I am someone who needs my friendships and needs to share my life (which is why I blog... duh!) yet, I'm also someone who needs to listen more to those around me. I have been told that I'm easy to open up to and make friends fast as well, but I often wonder if I've said too much or talked more then I should... It's been a learning experience for me nonetheless.

With Joe and I being so polar opposite, and I guess my realization at how extreme of an E that I am, that might explain how when we have a discussion I'm sitting there like "get it out already... state your opinion" whereas (speaking for myself, not him) he's probably like "shut up already I got the point :)"

They also asked us in class to try and guess at what our child(ren) might be. I at first thought Jack would be an E, but not to the extreme that I am. He tends to be outgoing/talk more then listen (especially to his mom) and likes having that attention from others rather then quiet time. He is shy though and can be reserved as well. With Luke I have yet to know. I am guessing he will be more I like Daddy.

I do find it interesting how people who are very opposite, can relate to one another on so many levels. Opposites attract right! For all the talking I do, thankfully Joe does the thinking :)
