Definition of an Introvert: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Are their women that fit this description, and are looking for men that feel the same way? Or does being an Introvert automatically label you as a weirdo that a woman wouldn't want to date or get to know?
Just curious and I look forward to your responses.
I am in this situation. My wife and I have been living apart for about 8 months now. I agreed to stay married to her for another year to keep her on my health insurance so she can find a full time job with benefits. After that year I am going to file. I do not keep my status secret and I do not hide the fact that I will not marry again.
When you find a connection you will know it. A connection is not so much in the physical sense but is more of a mentally and emotional connection. Have you ever met anyone that you immediately feel comfortable with? You can't explain why, but the feeling is just there. Have you ever met someone that you share similar life experiences with? This also makes a connection almost like a kindred spirit. I'm just rambling on now but when you find that connection you will feel it.
Some times but I don't wallow in it. It would be nice to have someone to talk to and share with. But I don't mind being alone either. Better to be alone than in bad company.
Ouch! I've never been unfaithful. I'm sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you are attracted to the wrong kind of men or are looking in the wrong places. Going through a divorce of separation is tough. Take your time. I wish you the best.
I have learned allot about myself through posting and reading posts from others. I have always tried to stay neutral in my posts in order to show how open minded I am. I have realized you do not have to have a neutral position to be open to other positions and ideas.

Nice poem, but good luck with that.
