NotesMaeve, I don't know exactly how serious your situation was and if people just laughed it off... lucky you See, sometimes even charm just isn't enough. Sure! There are people who excert great charme even right after their jail sentence... yet when it comes to deeper matters, certain people prefer their own safety over helping their now prosecuted acquaintances.

It's hard to generalize, and -obviously- the more people you find who trust you, the better it is

Well, in that sense being a kind of humanitarian Robin Hood excites me, too. :P

Those psychoanalysts were the root of all human stereotyping, alas most of the characteristics they mention are - in my opinion - rarely relevant in real life (my real life, at least, lol).
Honestly I don't think any person completely fits any of those two models (unless, of course, if we pursue to be exactly those models).

What I meant with extroversion was simply the willingness to learn from outside, to communicate with more than yourself. Nothing about "motivated by outside factors and greatly influenced by the environment," or such things
