Needy/Extroverted/Introverted/Whatever

[bertine]

I am normally an introvert. I don't usually need people around me a lot of the time. However, lately I have been feeling what I think is extroversion but feels like neediness. I want attention, I want people around me and I want to talk and talk but I am so scared of being seen as needy. Is it needy to want to go out? To no longer just want to sit at home playing with my cats and reading books?

Also, I have been posting a lot lately. That also feels needy but I think it might just be that I have a lot to say lately because my head is so full of thoughts right now. I love that I can feel myself becoming more the way I want to be but it is stirring up a lot of things inside me too.

I thought that might help :)
For some reason you've associated the idea of being social with the idea of being needy, and they aren't necessarily synonymous.

I have associated the two and I am so glad you were able to clarify it for me because now I have someway to rephrase thoughts. I am good at changing the way I think when I have something to replace it with.
