Hmm I wish I read your reply before I made my own. I can deal with social situations, even in what I consider safe places, but I will eventually need time alone or with limited interaction.

It's not a bad thing, bub. It's just a different way of being around people. And I'm not saying it in an inclusive "we're all Special" way. Some people need to be around other people. Being alone is kryptonite. I'm just the opposite way. Neither is better.

Actually, the whole personality types idea isn't a great model. I'm also a Capricorn.
