Probably not news to anyone here

9. +1.

I have a brother who is shy but not an introvert, he is very social when he feels accepted, but has great difficulty when under social pressure to perform or assert himself.

I on the other hand am not particularly shy, I tend to dominate conversations if I don't watch it, once I get going on something, but I am most definitely an introvert. I go weeks and see nobody but my wife and the clerks at the store. And I like that fine. I made it that way.

But anyway, we are very fond of each other, that brother and I, but drive each other nuts.

I had another one who was full Type A and it took us a long time to figure out how to get along, but we did. Boundaries.
