Did I just read my diary ? I am an older woman who has outlived two husbands both of whom were extroverted; however, the similarities ended there. The reason I mention this is that both men were very gregarious, and I could hide behind one and lean on the other in social situations. Now again, I am alone with my friend Time. Again....since my memories of childhood and early adulthood are as the loner, the lonely one, too fearful to aspire, too unexceptional to try, always wanting to fit in, yet unable to do it. Then the Myers- Briggs analysis identified me as INFJ and so what the faking continued. In the 1970's I was still on the outside looking in and not until books and blogs began discussing me have I felt somewhat accepted. Thank you for your knowledge, understanding and support. Thank you to all who get it. Xk
