Daydreamers.

There are two main types of daydreamers- the introverts and the extroverts.Before explaining the differences between these two, here is what we can say they share:1) Desire to change the world.2) A weakness for nostalgia, but we can get just as easily stuck in an 'ideal' future we still haven't lived.3) Being very imaginative, often being artists of some sort, or having a great appreciation of the arts.4) Being a good listener - only if we're interested. Otherwise, we automatically drift off into other more pleasant thoughts, while the person is talking. We can stop hearing everything around us. 5) Being perceptive about the way people feel, but not necessarily feeling the need to respond to this. 6) People think we're forgetful because sometimes formalities may slip our minds. But we pride ourselves on our excellent memories: We remember conversations, feelings and situations so well, because they are preserved in our daydreams!7)) Being very curious.8) Imagining about the lives of strangers that pass by. 9) Feeling a lot of empathy for others due to our capacity to observe. 10) Having humanitarian tendencies.11) Keeping a lot of secrets -- sometimes our thoughts are too complex or different from normality to communicate easily. 12) Becoming a psychologist for all our friends -- people see our mysterious silence and imagine they can tell us anything... We are confidants. 13) Enjoying philosophy 14) Hating small talk. It may bore us. 15) Laughing to ourselves anytime, anyplace... which makes people think we might not be all there...


Some specific characteristics of the Introvert Daydreamer:1) Preferring deep personal conversations to social gatherings 2) Not minding being alone most of the time. 3) Difficulty sharing feelings with other people (we can seem unemotional although this may not be true). But despite this, we're always ready to express a point of view on an abstract idea, and we can do so quite impressively.4) Seeming standoffish to people that don't know us. 5) Expressing views a lot better in written form than orally -- because we have time to think about it!
Some specific characteristics of the Extrovert Daydreamer:1) Being incurable optimists and idealists2) Being overly emotional, sometimes our reactions can confuse or startle more reserved people.3) Always being around groups of different people, needing permanent stimulation from the world.4) Being great conversationalists, we can always be relied on for amusement 5) Being charismatic - we love making our energy contagious to others - we're natural leaders!
