Just curious, here. I've noticed on here that SEVERAL people mention being introverted and/or having social anxiety to various degrees. I've noticed the same thing on various other online venues & amongst friends. Do you think that Homeschooling & introversion "go" together in some way? Do y'all know any/many *extroverted* homeschoolers? |

Yes, we knew lots of extroverted homeschoolers. We joined one group for park days, they also went out for fieldtrips like visiting a dairy and the museum. Dds also did a homeschool karate class and one participated in a drama club at a local arts theatre. Some moms mingled, some kept close to their kids. I only ever had 1-2 with me not a trainload, so I mingled with other moms of 1-2. |

Well, the Moms I know ALL mingle and socialize & go to parks & on outings (not talking the dreadful "socialization" question here) but I don't know ANY who self-describe as extroverts. Even the ones that seem super-social to me tell me that they think of themselves as introverts. Do y'all know lots of homeschoolers who think of themselves as extroverts? |

I did NOT going on outings unless coerced. I can be very social but i NEED alone time. Being social DRAINS me until i am sitting there crying on the inside, screaming that i just need to get away. It's not because i don't like the people or anything. It feels more like inner exhaustion. |

Yes : ) I cannot think of a single homeschooler (Mom- not kid) who hasn't told me that or something like it when the question comes up. (including the folks on this site : ) I'm wondering if you've discussed this with other homeschoolers IRL who are truly self-described extroverts. One of our MOST social homeschool Moms here regularly shares how introverted she is/feels - and than and a couple of conversations here made me wonder. |
