I don't know about you, but I'm a very relaxed guy. I don't like to spend too much time with people, but I don't like to spend too much time alone. I prefer time in solitude, so I can go at my own pace, but sometimes being with people helps you map out some things you've been thinking. Bouncing off ideas and also being receptive to others' ideas are a couple of benefits of talking to people. I go through stages where I'm aching to speak to someone, then the next day, I prefer peace and silence so I can ponder different things. I don't know if this helps, but the key here is balance. Don't spend too much time with "energy vampires," but don't neglect that other people in this world DO exist. I guess you could say I'm an introverted extrovert, someone who can have it either way and still be happy. I think it's about that whole inner peace thing, not being swayed by external outcomes. I'm on this sort of path and I encourage everyone to do so as well.
