<p>[QUOTE="RomanTheRussian, post: 1496424, member: 7539"]I think it has nothing to do with the hobby you have, but more of what kind of personality you have. If you're an introvert, you will often feel anti-social even in the most social of occasions. The opposite can be said about extraverts. Look at the typical coin show crowd: some are keeping to themselves, looking at coins, standing patiently at a dealer's table waiting for them to get noticed... while others are chatting-up the dealer and anyone else around them. Different personality types have different ways they approach social interactions. Numismatics, most of the time, is a solitary activity. Participating in coin forums is another solitary activity (contrary to what other internet bloggers / posters would often tell you). An introvert is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people. There's nothing wrong with that. Some of the best artists, inventors, analysts, composers, engineers, programmers are introverts.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main question - do you prefer solitude or avoid social encounters out of fear? You might be just shy, in that case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
