As a creative person I go through both extrovert and introvert energy gathering.

Famously Johnny Carson could get out in front of an audience and interact with his guests with what seemed ease and yet they say he was a very private man who didn't do that at all in his off time; which might mean his energy came from that off time. <br /><br />I think that is the way to look at introvert or extrovert-- where do you get recharged?Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-65091516114738568652010-03-06T09:38:46.836-08:002010-03-06T09:38:46.836-08:00Funny, being a performer, most people might consid...Funny, being a performer, most people might consider me an extrovert, especially during a particular rowdy gig. And perhaps, while I'm performing, I am. But when not performing, I'm content.

Though I do love the company, conversation and the comradarie of people around me; I definitely have my introvert moments. I find that I'm have more as I've gotten older. I know that I definitely need to recharge and have my alone time more than I ever use to. ~JoyJoy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-90927175893238429432010-03-05T06:24:13.176-08:002010-03-05T06:24:13.176-08:00I heard a definition of introvert/extrovert that i...I heard a definition of introvert/extrovert that is very similar to yours but takes it a step further. Introverts get their energy from inside, and are overwhelmed by energy input from outside. Extroverts crave outside energy input because they don't get enough from inside. Neither is better, it's just a different way to balance energy input. Our culture tends to emphasize extroverted styles so introverts are at a bit of a disadvantage. Unless you are at the extreme end of introversion, most introverts can handle a certain amount of extroverted behaviour when appropriate, but everyone has their own comfort level. I generally test out as an introvert, but I am comfortable and even energized being sociable and outgoing under the right circumstances. I have a friend who looks to me like a raging extrovert but she self-defines as an introvert.<br /><br />I've met some pretty extroverted artists, I suspect creative energy can come from either inside or outside. Maybe how one expresses creativity is influenced by one's intro/extroversion. Maybe performing arts are more attractive to extroverts? My DIL is very creative and very extroverted. She loves the process of selling her creations, it energizes her for more creative effort.<br /><br />Your photos are great, the sky in the eagle pic is amazing.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787701515460812026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-53658683203939437592010-03-04T17:41:30.832-08:002010-03-04T17:41:30.832-08:00The photos are awesome -- as always.

There aren't many things in life that are really black or white. In my case though I can enjoy having large dinner parties sometimes or big family gatherings. I think though I do it more for the energy I feel it gives others than maybe what it gives me although I get satisfaction out of entertaining. I definitely enjoy time with friends in small groups or one-on-one. Being an introvert doesn't mean a hermit necessarily. But where does one get their main energy burst would be the question, I think.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-30898617738514368902010-03-04T12:02:46.611-08:002010-03-04T12:02:46.611-08:00Beautiful Pictures, Rain....
I like your explainat...Beautiful Pictures, Rain....<br />I like your explaination of the Introvert and Extrovert....I think I am a combination of both---to some extent, but basically am more of an Introvert. Like you, I need a lot of time alone to re-charge and to create. I have always loved lossing all sense of timme while Painting or Writing or Composing....Being so connected to one's inner self which is where all these creative urges come from, you need that "alone" time. That quiet time. I treasure that. And yet, I also know I need that outside stimulus, too....That social gathering wether it be going to the Theatre or a dinner with friends, etc., etc.<br /><br />Well said, Rain, as always.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-34492999060148296932010-03-04T10:58:23.213-08:002010-03-04T10:58:23.213-08:00---Another, thoughtful superb essay.
