I am an ISFJ according to Meyers-Briggs, but I don't feel I'm that strong of an Introvert. I definitely have people needs, but still, am more attracted to extroverts. Yet, I find that typical in relationships. My mother is an extrovert, my father was the introvert. You will find this in most couples -- one of each. Opposites attract.

That said, I'm an introvert who is always initially attracted to extroverted men, yet I invariably wind up resenting their constant need for validation and approval from other women. Something tells me I need to fix this pronto, or else I'll never find my Mr. Right for the long term. Best wishes from bookyone :) Hi DG,

Unfortunately we often wait till we’re already in a relationship to recognize our needs. Knowing our needs helps us make better choices and tends to attract more compatible partners too.
