Sorry, April, that last part was my question.

How do I discuss parts of my personality, without giving out too much?

I can get defensive about it because some people aren’t aware of what veijg an introvert means.

Apologies, should have just lead with that.

It’s been a few weeks since my ex and I split. So far it’s been better than I had expected and we’re keeping in touch.

I’m an introvert and it’s often difficult to make friends but also a pain defending myself by explaining things like I’m not shy or anti social.

My brother in law counts my sister, his wife, as his only true friend, having been let down by friends in the past. So this doesn’t concern me about finding someone who will worry I’ll drain then socially. I am happy in my own company and with the friends I do have.

However I am concerned about meeting someone new and figuring out how to explain/discuss this part of me, without putting them off. Extroverts are seemingly considered the social norm and so it’s hard tackling the subject.

I will say I have no plans to date anytime soon. Partly because it’s too soon for me and also as I’ve got a lot of things in my life i need to tackle first.

Thank you I really appreciate your advice and you’re absolutely right about me being angry at myself. I stayed for too long and I became unhappy.

It stings a bit more because suddenly she cares about doing more, but I know it’s not for the sake of my attention. I’m perhaps bitter for now but I will definitely take your advice and begin moving on.

Thanks again 🙂
