> Hi Mitch,
> I feel the same. A group makes me shy and self-conscious, but in a one-to-one conversation I feel perfectly fine. I guess I'm a HSP, and I am an INTP (I am sure of I and T, but I can't remember what N and P stand for, so I'm not so sure of those...) on the Meyer-Briggs test. Like IsoM, I need a lot of time alone, else, I feel I lose track of me. It's like I need to check in and make sure I'm still there, in one piece.

Hi,

I was thinking about all of this today while I was at work and came to the conclusion that intro-extro-vert is just a language label with a bunch of memory baggage (from the psychobabble of the '70's) that corrupts the whole reality of the concept. Groups *do* make me shy, but when I have had to do a public speech, I start out shaking to the foundations, but...when I get to going,,when I get to flowing,,,I really get into it and *like* it! You are a *teacher*, right? I have always been told by people (teachers included), that I would make a killer teacher or lawyer, but it just scares the bejezus out of me. The only award I got at high school (besides math) was for creative writing and public speaking. Wonderful. I feel like I have been given all of these neato gifts and I can't use them because I panic. My pdoc wants me to take an acting class. God, that really scares me! How do you handle the anxiety of teaching a new class every semester?

Oh, I think P and N are terms for transistors- PNP and NPN. :) Eeek, the smiley-face thing is a little eerie nowadays. Shiny black FBI shoes at the artschools...


Mitch
