Whenever I do a search on introverts and marketing, at least one online presence states that "most writers are introverted." Is this true? How many of you would consider yourselves introverted?
I suffered a lot of bullying as a kid, so early on I became shy and introverted. I got over my shyness ...
I like to give and get lap dances? Now sure what I am...
Writers are as diverse a group as any, I think. That said, I'm an introvert, in the sense that I'm drained rather than energized by social gatherings and need time alone to recharge my batteries.
That describes perfectly why I consider myself an introvert. My friends don't think of me as an introvert, though; I went with the ambivert option as a nod to external perceptions. I find people endlessly fascinating and am completely comfortable striking up small talk with store clerks and strangers I'm in line with. When that's done, at the end of the day, I want nothing more than to disappear into a book/computer/good piece of music.
Definitely an extrovert.
I write because it's easier to tell my stories to larger bunches of people that way than having to track them all down and make them stop to listen. *grin*
Course, I've also been an actor, a musician, and play sports. Being in front of crowds is where it's at.
