Are You Aligned In Life?

And so, this saddens me quite deeply. Being alone is very hard as a natural extrovert.

Any extroverts here that struggles with this?

I had to reframe my extroversion as something that makes me unique. It’s not endless nonsensical chatter that excites me the most- it’s the ability as a natural extrovert to express myself most powerfully through words and exchange with other minds.

I choose socialization as my primary medium for this- but doesn’t always have to be the case. Just so happens that socializing is often hijacked for nefarious and unconscious purposes- but there is such a thing as a rich exchange of emotional expression through verbalizing.

That is beautifully reframed, thank you.

I will contemplate it.

I have never made a plan about my life so I don't know and never know.

1. Be complete for yourself. 
2. Read (Mode One - Alan Roger Currie)
3. You have a choice. If you really do not want to play games, you just stop it. At this point on your journey, focus on being complete for yourself, being happy for no reason and playing life as a game, maximizing passions, interests and focus.

Which areas of your life do you currently feel the greatest mismatch between your feelings of 'how you desire to be' and your actions?

I don't think you're an extrovert.

A natural extrovert genuinely likes being social without rules or expectations. It is actually a refreshing and recharging experience for him/her.

A natural extrovert is not out there playing games to manipulate or get something. He is just being himself. Enjoying being social because that in itself is rewarding for him.

I am an ENFJ. We have a deeper side to us, more reflective that comes online more with maturity. This side functions like an introvert.

As for social games and manipulations, I’m talking something meta here. Human games are not truthful, no matter how extroverted you are. Literally every other blogpost Leo talks about this directly or indirectly.
