Dear Queenie,
I’m not a “party person.” I don’t like large gatherings of people I don’t know very well where there’s a lot of drinking and loud music and such. I prefer to go out once in a while with one or two friends to a quiet restaurant where we can have a nice conversation without having to shout at each other. The rest of the time I’d rather be by myself, read a book or watch TV.
My sister says this makes me antisocial.
Queenie, is she right?—Introvert
Dear Introvert,
Some people just prefer peace and quiet to the party scene and apparently you are such a person. That does not mean you are antisocial. Your sister is way off-base.
