Thanks for your encouragements fellow introvert. I’m not too worried about myself though it was pointed out by a recently “past tense friend” that it wasn’t right that I’m happy by myself. That conversation went down like a lead balloon.

My friends and family that understand and love me let me know that I’m easy to be with even if I’m silently in my own corner. I eventually happily resurface after my batteries are recharged.

I’m glad you found a happy match with your wife and that you encourage one another’s hobbies. You enjoy one another simply by being an expression of ones self toward one another and not needing the other for mere company and entertainment. That would be exhausting. I’m happy to hear when introverts find they are building fulfilling relationships. We are extremely selective people and are misunderstood (by people that are absolutely wrong for us.) But for those that make it into our private quiet world, life feels very meaningful and magical. Blessings to you and your family.
