Really enjoyed this thread, especially the part where ALG piped in with the enneagram. I am also a Type 5 and also wanting to do something to become more entertaining.
As far as acceptance goes, I think you have to accept yourself before you can really know yourself. Some parts of yourself may be hidden away and buried too deeply in shame and denial. Once you begin to accept yourself, these buried pieces can come to light so you can deal with them.
The other thing you have to accept is your wants and desires. That points your way for where you are going. So you have to accept both yourself and your desire to change yourself simultaneously.
