One thing I have noticed is that people tend to make assumptions based on what they initially see. And even though I am very quiet and introverted in person unless extremely comfortable in my surroundings, I do not always recognize the same traits in others (which always makes me feel badly). People who are shy or introverted can be seen by others as standoffish or snobby, or as just disinterested. These "labels" have been leveled at me, and I have caught myself thinking them of others as well.
Sometimes, with extroverted people, I feel myself pulled to them. But there can be times I find myself wondering just what they are trying to hide with all that show of personality.... And that all may be more about what is in my head than what is in theirs. But I have learned over time and through personal experience that the extroverted people who have no trouble making friends may not value those they have made as deeply as those who struggle to make friendships.
