Livre d'Or

I might be a performance extrovert, then, as the same situation will produce very different reactions based on whether or not I have a conversational hook or icebreaker to apply. For work, and at conferences and conventions, since there a common thread to be able to pull in, conversation comes easier, and if there's a thing that I can use as a conversation-starter, ask the better.

But without a way in, if I'm in a group of people I don't know that well, you'll probably find me on the sides of the room, observing and trying to figure out group dynamics, instead of wading in.

So, strangely enough, if you want me to appear extroverted in a new situation, it's probably best to give me the role of the person that introduces people to other people.

And then give me some time and a nice beverage to unwind from that afterward.
