Introspection on Introversion

I'm growing weary of these two week breaks between classes. Partially, because I can't bear to go without this class for so much as a week, but also because I have to write about the same thing twice. However, it gets more tedious: the subject from our last lecture is actually one I've covered twice. So, here we go. Last kick at the subconscious can.

This is my self-referencing, sometimes contradictory and somewhat haphazard introspection on introversion.

As I mentioned between quips in my most previous post, I have been classified both by myself and by the infallible Jungian personality test as an introvert. I was told this means that I draw energy from solitude and lose energy sometimes in large groups. I would simply state that I prefer to be alone sometimes.

It can feel like most other people have a social leg-up on me at times. There are times where I don't feel like part of a group. I don't like groups, anyways; I prefer to be either alone or on a one-to-one basis with someone I can understand and who understands me.

What this has to do with my creativity I don't understand. Often, I act in direct opposition to the stereotypical introvert: I can be rather loud, and I am by no means shy around people I know; I also enjoy performing (anything!) more than almost anything else. Perhaps the guy who thinks up stereotypes screwed up his definition of "introvert"; maybe he doesn't understand what it means, and maybe I don't either.

Hmmm. It would seem that by using an introspection as your creative act you run the risk of revealing too much. I shall skip to a summarizing, as I feel I've made my point before:

I'm back to square one. What's an introvert?
