I, uh, was an introvert as a child. I went everywhere with a book and was never so happy as I was when alone. I didn't have many friends and was painfully shy. It was pounded into me that what other people thought mattered most.

Then I fell in love with alcohol. It stripped my shyness and my inhibitions, even those I should have maintained. With a drink or three in me, I was the life of the party....until I crossed over the line and then...uh...well, I can't remember.

Since sobriety and escaping abuse, I have worked on just being me. I do what makes me happy and feels comfortable. I can talk to anyone and have several roles that require leadership, however, I have few close friends and am happiest at home with my partner, children and pets.

Not sure what the "label" is that would apply to my personality, and also, not sure I care
