No doubt. I'm getting old and crotchety. I used to think it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Now, I think I liked the world better in the 90's (or 80's, or 70's).

Most people are a mix of the two and a big part of it is where do you get your "energy"?
I enjoy the quiet, being alone under the stars, and so on. On the flip side, I also enjoy a good party and will happily talk to people when I'm out and about. The problem is that after a party, I'm completely drained and need a day to myself to chill and recharge. My older brother on the other hand would have been cleaning all day and getting ready for the next party. They energize him.
Psychologists curing themselves? Ha! Not in a million years. Everyone I knew in college that was going into those fields did it so they could better understand their own problems. It seems to attract that sort of person.

Ha, yes. I only know two psychologists, one is pretty well sane but the other (much as I love the guy) is several miles beyond bat**** crazy and I'm sure that an awful lot of that comes from his constant attempts to attach specific labels to things that the rest of us would simply pass off as personality traits or quirks. I often suspect that the unobserved mind works an awful lot better than the carefully analysed one.

I have a passing acquaintance with only one psychotherapist an he is one of the most annoying individuals I have ever met. He is constantly passive aggressive and expects way more from everyone else than he puts forth.

I consider myself a moderate or recovering introvert. I am generally happy to talk to others, but it does take extra effort and I cannot sustain that effort for a long time.

Now to think of an excuse so I don't have to go...

* Newly discovered asteroid targeting one of our satellites
* Possibility of a huge Coronal Mass Ejection
* Alien invasion
* You have to finish your latest modules' unit tests, asap

I once refused to go to my colleague's wedding, telling him honestly I don't like any occasions where I have to dress better than on my own wedding (mentioning I was there wearing Jeans) (dammit, I'm FEMALE  )
Never been invited anywhere again. Don't know why
