I don't look down my nose at extroverts at all. Extroverts with their social skills and adventurousness are very necessary to oil society's wheels. A gathering of nothing but self-contained introverts would be a total disaster. I know some lovely extroverts who're wonderful company and encourage me to be more forthcoming.Nicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-61766578940654756872014-10-26T10:57:55.061+00:002014-10-26T10:57:55.061+00:00oh gawd,

Extroverts are just people who crave company and chatting to other people. They aren't necessarily egotistical or demanding.

To the point where I feel rather sorry for them since they do themselves no favours but provide me with plenty of fun and amunition. To simmer resentment at a prima donna? Nah, keep your energies for better things.<br /><br />You have never had a prima donna moment, Nick? Well, you've missed out. I certainly had one, nothing to be proud of, nothing to be ashamed of, just vaguely amusing. Must have been about seventeen or eighteen. Was cast as the lead character in some theatre play. That I didn't even want the role is neither here nor there. Anyway: Rehearsal time. A friend of mine was most concerned that we were running late on our way there. "Don't worry", I said to him, "they won't be able to start without me." Sweet, isn't it? The logic beguiling. Anyway, as I opened the door with a beaming smile everyone was just relieved to see me at all. Yes, Nick, that was my Prima Donna moment.
