Best advice I received:

If you overthink, Write.

If you underthink, Read.

and that is all.

My father always told me:

"If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company.

Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves."

And only recently have I realised that this principle works everywhere.

We call it “ships passing in the night.” I get home from work around 4 a.m., then in the afternoon I’m up and about and gearing up while my wife is winding down. Ah well, like someone else said, we’re both introverts so it serves us well. For now. Retirement is coming up, then things will change.

Morning, Roland!! You, an introvert? Wow!!

Good morning Lynell sweetheart. Yes, I am an introvert. Type 5 in the Enneagram. Loner and love my privacy. And a double Leo, go figure, probably only one in the world with that combination. It means I am a writer and investigator with social skills who no one would guess is a hermit; you’re not the first to be surprised, happens all the time.

I looked up Enneagram which is new to me,, and Introvert is not among its nine "interconnected personality types." That sounds like an escape clause, not exactly (Max) Weberian ideal types. The Enneagram majority have positive or admirable traits, according well with my optimistic view of human nature, but I wonder how realistic it is. Again thanks to LFAAers, I know more and need to learn more. https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/type-descriptions https://www.yourarticlelibrary.com/sociology/webers-ideal-types-definition-meaning-purpose-and-use/43758
