I have known for many years now, that I have an Introverted style of being. I enjoy quiet solitude to loud events; my energy is replenished when I have time alone and drained when I am out socializing; I think before I speak, and I spend a lot of time reflecting on, and observing life. The irony is that I love people, and I enjoy talking and visiting with others, however, I know that it takes a lot of energy for me to be outgoing and social, so I just have to plan some recharging quiet time before and after!
If you are also an introvert, or know someone who is, I would highly recommend checking out Quiet Revolution:
