Don't forget we're talking about human behavior here, which can be apparently self-contradictory in many ways, or haven't you noticed? This is one of them. However it may take introspection or personal insight to understand it. I can understand how a person that is an isolated introvert may not understand how this can work. For example, lets consider a person who "Prefers being alone" because of feelings of anxiety about associating with strangers. They do enjoy being with people they know. In a context where only strangers are available, they may prefer to be alone, but that does not mean that they don't enjoy being with people they know when they are available. Among many people with anxiety, their anxieties may influence them to avoid doing things that they actually enjoy, once the anxieties are overcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105982 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
