When I was a child my teacher wrote on my school report card that I was 'introverted.' I asked my mother what that meant and she replied that it just meant shy.
It wasn't until I became an adult that I learned what introversion really meant, and suddenly so much about my life made sense.

Being an introvert and being shy are two very different things. I'm not shy – in fact as part of my job I interact socially with many people during the course of the day. The difference is that when I leave work I look forward to coming home to my quiet little house and my own company.

Being around other people drains my energy and the only way I can recharge is by being completely alone. It's not that I don't like other people; it's that I need the balance of spending time by myself.

I'm often asked whether I get lonely living on my own and my answer is no, not at all. I don't have a large circle of friends, and don't deliberately seek out the company of others. I try to avoid parties or any kind of social gathering, and because of this I'm sure I've upset a few people over the years. There were even times in the past when I made up an excuse or feigned illness just to avoid offending someone with the truth.

So what do I do with all this alone time? Well, I write, read, learn, and listen to music. I go for long drives, visit art galleries, museums, markets and op-shops. Since moving to the country I'm learning about gardening. I also go fishing and exploring with my latest toy – a metal detector. These things give me great pleasure and I feel completely fulfilled when I'm doing them alone.

Apparently about one in every four people is an introvert and those who have extroverted personalities have a hard time understanding us. They cannot seem to grasp the concept of craving alone-time. Some even attribute introversion to snobbery or a lack of self-confidence which is far from the truth.

Perhaps it's time we began an 'introversion awareness' campaign. Introverts everywhere should proudly announce who and what we really are. Maybe we all need to wear a t-shirt or badge proclaiming that we're introverts and proud of it. The only problem with this is that we may draw even more unwanted attention!

Here's an idea – how about a public holiday just for introverts so we can celebrate by staying at home curled up with a good book!

The Big Five personality traits, also known as the five factor model ( FFM), is a model based on common language descriptors of personality ( lexical hypothesis). These descriptors are grouped together using a statistical technique called factor analysis (i.e. this model is not based on experiments).

"I am an introvert. I'm not mad, or depressed, or anti-social. I just need to not talk to anyone for a while. And that's okay."

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone." (Stronger, Kelly Clarkson)

Key Words: Sociability, talkativeness, assertiveness and excitability.
Life Experience:
I would rather spend my time alone, or with one to two friends. Big social situation can be at times very uncomfortable for me and I try to avoid them. For example, if I had the option of going to the movies with a couple of friends or going to a large party, I would chose the movies. When i'm in class I talk and participate during group discussions as little as possible. Both of these situations show why I score low with sociability and talkativeness (extroversion).

Key Words: Experience negative emotions, such as anger, anxiety, or depression
Life Experience:

I get irritated easily, get stressed out easily, get upset easily, have frequent mood swings, worry about things, and am much more anxious than most people. On my aggression personality test I scored higher than the average female would. This proves why I scored high in neuroticism.

Definition: Unconscious- what our dreams mean
My Life Experience: I once dreamed about my house being robbed by a stranger. A robbery in a dream indicates that you are experiencing an identity crisis or are suffering from some sort of loss in your life. Alternatively, the dream means that someone has stolen your success or has taken credit for something you did. Perhaps you feel that you have been treated unfairly.
