Like you I need my down time. I need someone who has their own life and doesn't need a clone. When you meet a good match you will know it when their company causes you to relax and the thought of them makes you feel peaceful and happy. I had someone like that. If I got anxious their voice had this amazing calming effect on me.
I am also an introvert so I can say that we can be selfish with our time. Some of it is self preservation but there is also a certain amount of compromise necessary so everything isn't based around our wants. It is a decision a person has to make if they really want to honour the person they are with.
Maybe a long distance relationship would work. You could work out times to be together and connect whenever you wanted my phone/email/skype but you would have your space as well. Whatever happens I wish you joy.

I'm an introvert in a sense that too much social exposure easily wears me out and being alone and doing nothing is how I recharge. Or at least I thought so. Cause really, that kinda applies to everyone so I don't know anymore.
Tbh, I think, with the world at our finger tips, we really have less reasons to go out. If 'socializing' is not limited to physically going out and having conversations with other people offline, we're all very social people.
Our active CC membership is proof.

I think too many people get introversion confused with shyness and/or social anxiety; they're completely different things. Yes, due to the nature of what an introvert is, it's common for introverts to have more difficulties socializing. However, the only thing that makes an introvert an introvert is that having more alone time is more crucial. The more extroverted person will also need alone time, they just need less of it. There are plenty of very social, outgoing introverts in the world, as well as shy, quiet extroverts. And though an extrovert is energized by being around others, this doesn't necessarily mean they need to be around tons of people; for many extroverts, being around a close-knit group of friends often is more than enough.

I agree with you. I've always been extremely extroverted, but I also really enjoy down time and relaxing alone. I enjoy going to functions or holiday parties, etc, but I prefer spending time with a few friends. I'd much rather have conversations of substance with a few people that I trust. I'm normally very outgoing, but I can be shy in certain situations ( if I don't feel comfortable). I've also known people who were introverts and they were very outgoing and confident.

Hello Rush! I think it isnt too much for you to expect to have the same kind of relationship as the couple's you mentioned, for like everybody else, you are entitled to have your own ideals such as an ideal relationship like that. We just have to keep an open mind that a relationship of any kind such as that requires work and compromise no matter how similar or different you are with your partner. And it seems to me that you arent closing yourself to do a lil bending for a good relationship, which is a great quality to have when you dont want to grow old alone. All the best! I sincerely wish that you'll meet her in God's perfect time!
I enjoyed reading your thread and will continue reading the rest later.
