Good morning Lynell sweetheart. Yes, I am an introvert. Type 5 in the Enneagram. Loner and love my privacy. And a double Leo, go figure, probably only one in the world with that combination. It means I am a writer and investigator with social skills who no one would guess is a hermit; you’re not the first to be surprised, happens all the time.

I looked up Enneagram which is new to me,, and Introvert is not among its nine "interconnected personality types." That sounds like an escape clause, not exactly (Max) Weberian ideal types. The Enneagram majority have positive or admirable traits, according well with my optimistic view of human nature, but I wonder how realistic it is. Again thanks to LFAAers, I know more and need to learn more.
I read the book "Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain. She has a story about a college professor so passionate about his subject matter than he's an extrovert in the classroom. Complete hermit when he retired.
I wish I had read this book while my spouse was still living. He was an introvert & this book explained a lot about how introverts prefer to deal with the world. I thought I was an extrovert, but I'm not...more in the middle (ambivert). My granddaughter who was born 9 months 2 weeks after my husband passed. She's got his introvertness...
