Blods pointed out that it is Claudia Winkleman on Traitors not Davina McCall. I have looked them both up and now I'm totally confused. Are they the same person?
No, obviously not! How did I get that so wrong?
Anyway, on to today.

In my last post I used the fact that I'd done three visits i.e. three more than normal, last week as a reason for my apathy yesterday, the visits having taken it out of me. But I wonder if that's true or whether I'm just using statements I've seen on social media about typical introverts.
I would say I'm an introvert but so often these charts - you know the sort of thing, if you ticked this, this and this then you're an introvert - can be manipulated to tell you anything. Or maybe we can be manipulated to believe anything. And use it as an excuse to for behaviour.
Hm, let's have a quick google. According to Psychology Today introverts have a number of typical traits.
Don't like small talk, prefer deep meaningful conversation. I don't like small talk but tend to drift off in my head, and get a glazed look in my eyes, rather than engage in dmc.
Need time alone after socialising. See above.
Selectively social. I am so selective I would limit myself to my family if I could.
Strong on inner reflection. I do have a very active inner voice.
Prefers not to make phone calls. Certainly true.
Observant. I notice surroundings probably more than I notice people.
Creative. Think I can safely say yes to that.
It also says, introverts think deeply and plan and devise solutions. Definitely not me! And that introverts tend to be a bit mysterious, private. Again not me. I write all about my life.
Okay, so overall I might be an introvert though I might just be shy - shyness involves fear of negative evaluation, according to Psychology Today.
Oh, and it seems there are ambiverts and omniverts as well. I'm not even going to look.
