[Why Syzygy]

My personality type is INFP (introverted, iNtuitive, feeling, perceiving). Supposedly this type is only 10% of the population. I'm very close to extrovert, but not quite. Need lots of time to myself to recharge, but do enjoy the company of fine people. Have no patience for bores or rightwingers. I have a friend who is a true extrovert and I could not imagine keeping her social schedule. She and I maintain mostly via email, with ocassional lunches. We've known each other for 20+ years and I just recently moved to the city she and her hubby relocated to 8 years ago. Just a turn of fate.

I like the things ya'll are saying. Thanks for all the insight. I LOVE THIS FORUM!

I never got caught up in cliques. Sometimes it meant, in work situations, that I wasn't 'in the loop', but I did my job, which I never saw as including office politics, etc. Networking is important and I always enjoyed professional lunches with a speaker to teach us new information. I guess I got caught up in one last year, briefly, because I thought in order to have my man, I needed to adopt his clique. That was such a mistake. They have done nothing but cause problems. A big stroke of Independence would have served me much better. Lesson learned.
