helgi,

This is an interesting subject, I've never thought to ask *why* a person would be introverted.

I am deeply introverted myself and have been this way for as long as I can remember, even as a very young child.

"the gist of it is that the reason I want to avoid social interaction is that it activates my ego and forces me to play out reactions and patterns on the level of form identity."

Do you think this applies to people during every/any stage of development? In other words, would a very young child interacting another very young child involve ego activation?

After giving it some thought, I cannot pinpoint *why* I'm so interverted. Part of it seems to be that I feel different from the majority, but I don't think that's it. Does anyone else have any ideas as to *why* a person would be introverted?
