When you’re very people-oriented, it’s hard to sort out yourself from the crowd.
It’s innate that I take on group characteristics and seek to create and maintain the harmony. Often that means my identity is a montage of other people’s emotions.
And somewhere in that crowd, I got lost.
For an extrovert, it’s hard to be alone. I don’t like finding out who I am without the crowd. The key to unlocking extroverts is an absolute horror: letting go of what we let define us.
Sometimes, I do find myself in the crowd. And suddenly I am a singular identity; the world is solid, it isn’t whizzing past me and I just know… I know who I am.
Extroverts are a whole different sort of mystery.
