I read this and I couldn't believe it. It's like you reached into my mind and put my problems into such clear terms. I border on ambivert but I still related deeply to everything you wrote. Thank you for this.
thank you. I'm reading this while travelling alone again to my family for easter, because my partner has decided not to join at the last moment. Last year when this happened I got mad & shouted until he quietly told me it was not about me but he just couldn't. I promised myself i would never shout again (and I didn't) At x-mas he did join, but only because I started crying and felt he needed to show up. He didn't sleep for 2 days and needed a week to recover. Today i didn't shout or cry and try not to be dissapointed. I am just sorry we are not travelling together, that he doesn't share the comfort & joy a family can bring and that yes indeed this wonderful man is virtually invisible to the world.
