Hi all,
I have wondered how many of us are introverts and how many are extroverts? Also, does it change when dressed?
I am an extreme introvert en homme. I don't think it changes much if any when en femme.
I have been told that extroverts thrive in group situations, while introverts prefer to be alone or in one to one situations. How does that fit with your definition or understanding of the two terms?

Hi all,
Good topic, Alana.
I'm basically an introvert. Although I'm a very sociable person, I'm just not a social one. I usually avoid large groups, parties, etc. There's a large schizoid element to my personality and I absolutely love it ("schizoid," by the way, doesn't mean "schizophrenic"; it refers to someone who has a rich imagination, loves wordplay, is creative or artistic, and is comfortable with being alone).
When en femme, things are a little different; I want to be out there; I want to be seen; I want to be with people. I've often wondered if being en femme was not just a way for TG'd folks to express feelings associated with the opposite gender in an "acceptable" manner but also a way for introverts to become temporarily extroverted and gregarious (thus letting off a little steam). Who knows, eh?
Love,
CJ

Hmm, maybe you should have used the other poll buttons to give one a chance to select more than 1 characteristic, since enfemme and enhomme are two separate characteristics.
I'm more of an introvert in both modes. Although I can open up once I get into the conversation, its just that getting into it takes time.

Donna,
If you or anyone else can tell me how to revise my poll so more than one choice can be made, I would appreciate it. Will be glad to change it.
This was my first attempt at a poll and I wasn't sure about what could or couldn't be done. Followed the prompts, but eventually realized that people could make only one choice. Thought if nothing else, they could go to the poll twice.
Anyway, any help with regard to the poll would be appreciated.
