Is introversion really that hard to understand?  Obviously it is for my parents.  Today the whole family went out for the After-Christmas Sales.  Even though I was dreading the crowds and having to deal with all those people, I still went.  The day wasn't all that bad and I did get some great deals.  After all was said and done, I headed to my room for some "me time".  I needed to take a break from people.  Well, I was called out to potty the dogs, so I left my room and did it.  I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone right now, so I wasn't the nicest when I answered there question of whether I had seen something that was saved on Tivo.  Immediately I was dubbed as being "bitchy" for not wanting to talk to people.  I don't know how many times I've tried to explain to them it is in my nature to not want talk to people sometimes, especially when I've already been doing it all day.  Grr!
