I'm sort of like you guys. When I'd spend three to four months at a ranger station in the mountains, people would ask me if I got lonely. I never was and have always gotten along fine in solitude. But I seem to have a switch that turns on when I get into a situation (like teaching, giving workshops, sales, etc., etc.) in a work or social environment where I become interactive and productive - even dynamic. Of course this mostly refers to when I was working. That occurred to me one time when someone I was working with doing workshops was talking to some others about being animated. He described how he'd seen me "flip a switch" walking into the room with a group of waiting people. When not in that kind of environment, I'm pretty solitary.
