Reply To: Sluggish Cognitive Tempo

[quizzical]

Ignore last post…and where is the edit button? Serious question; I can’t find it.

The post with the actual quote:
@larynxa: I haven’t even read the link, much less most of the comments, but when I saw this in your post: “In the right situation, I’m dazzlingly extroverted, basking in all the attention, and always with a quick quip at the ready.

But otherwise, I’m very introverted, preferring to stay at home, or to sit in a quiet corner with a friendly cat or dog who happens to be there. Especially at parties…which I generally avoid completely.”

Well, I had to say, Wow, me too! As a fellow singer, I find it really interesting that I have this dual nature, since the introvert side seems so at odds with performing. But really, it’s mostly at odds with job-seeking in performing, rather than performing itself. Performing isn’t about me; it’s more about getting away from “Me.” It’s certainly about doing, rather than being. The worst thing for me is when the performing stops and the chitchat starts.

And now back to the thread, already in progress… 🙂
