PV - In the night

I visited and worked on the puzzle before my evening class. The quiet and darkness outside of the the windows and the silence of an almost empty floor is quite serene. Making a puzzle in that environment was as if time stopped. I just focused in on the puzzle and the world around me just faded away. It's quite a marvelous feeling. Yet at the same time - I feel I can work on the puzzle effectively when someone else is there with me as well. Working on it alone was good for a while, but if I looked up, the silence echoed and I felt extremely alone. But I don't think I've always been a person that needs people around. Having someone to chat with while working on the puzzle is nice, however it needs to be someone I'm comfortable chatting with... otherwise I just work on the puzzle with someone there without chatting because I'm not sure what to talk about.

So what does that mean for me? I feel that it 'speaks' to the fact that I am an introverted individual. I work well alone, however if I am with a close friend, interaction is easy. I have found that throughout my life experiences that I have gathered so far, I have slowly developed more social skill making my introverted personality less obvious (as when I was young I was said to be extremely shy and quiet). So now I feel that it has developed in the sense that I will not isolate myself because I'm unsure how to interact with others, I am comfortable in environments with others and I will interact - to the point where I feel like I have given an effort - I am still introverted after all! I'll find my way and comfort in my individual and solitary way, yet I have grown to enjoy group activities.
