Mmmm... Yes, i think of myselve as an introvert.

But, i'm not one when i go out and drink. So when i go out, i drink too much ( i always have a lot of one-liners comings up). I'm not an alcoholic, i only drink on friday and saturday evenings ( when i go out)

Also, i always have been in extremes. When i wanted to do sport, i did > 10 hours per week ( no alcohol ofc and outside my full time job), but didn't have time for anything else.

Now i'm working on my SAAS, day and night.... I don't need people, but i force myselve to be arround them. I don't need to plan anything, i just say yes when people ask... This year, i didn't even celebrate my 30th birthday, cause i was on a wedding.

Thanks for answering NicoJuicy. I used to have similar patterns in the 'extreme' sense you say until life thought me the hard way that they are a really risky bet. Thought alcohol never liked me and I avoided bdays too.

That's was when I started wondering why did I do what I did. Are extremes worth it in mid-long term? they can turn into habits too soon and really difficult to get out of them. It took me years to realize (maybe I still am) that most of the time I did this was to get a sense of external approval, fit in, achievement of the impossible, be different, ... in the end was a doing stuff in excess not for a real worthy reason but because of the lack of sense of identity.

This is a good article on the topic

Okay, I didn't expect that answer by a long shot. But that's a very good one...

Thanks
