Dear therise:

I think human beings are social animals. I know that, it is a biological, scientific FACT. We are genetically social, born that way, evolved to be social animals through many, many thousands and millions of years.

Introverted people, I believe, are people who were hurt in the past by a close relationship, most often in childhood and reacted by turning inward. So as an introvert I imagine you are more sensitive to rejection, more afraid to connect. Needing someone all the time and too intensely is a problem, of course. So it is a matter of balancing being alone and okay with it AND being social and okay with it (not losing oneself to the union),
