but I find that when I am alone, I don't have to bring these things into consideration. I'm relaxed and I don't need to worry about dealing with these people whose only motives for talking is either to make themselves feel better about themselves or tell you their autobiography.
Yes.

The message that is sent is that the potential for something else in the future is more important than the present moment; that, and I think it's rude.

I think it is odd that some believe that introverts don't like being with other people. I'm an introvert and I don't like being alone. Of course, I am uncomfortable around groups of people too. It seems that I have a need for the presence of others, even when I don't wish to interact with them.

It really surprises me when I see people on the cell phone constantly. And I mean constantly. It's like it's attached to their ear. It's fascinating to see that people can't spend a few moments alone without feeling compelled to call someone.
