Sadly, any scholar of Seinfeld can tell you that this means we are doomed to have a brief, torrid affair after which will will not be able to stomach the sight of each other. It's a shame, really.

*stares jealously at FM* shame, what are you talking about. Hmm doesn't need your ass! :whistling:

I've noticed an ebb and flow in my life. Generally in about ten year periods.

The book Passages by Gail Sheehy talks about the various phases a person goes through and the influencing factors.

Do you think it could be a natural pullback from the bombardment of the world? Demands of adverts, phone calls, pages, emails, etc. Exhaustion?


Yes! The lightbulb just went on. :D Overwhelmed, not so much exhausted or discontented.

How would we do that if we're the same person?

Introversion by itself isn't bad at all. In some ways, it's great. There are things it might be associated with that are...unhealthy...like social anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem, etc. But introversion itself, imo, can foster humbleness, contemplation, depth, and self-awareness. Celebrate that shit!
Well said and agreed. Not a damn thing wrong with introversion unless it manifests in negative ways, like said in the quote.

Maybe you've just run out of things to say.
