Yeah, a lot of people are like that, it's the difference between extroverts and introverts.  Extroverts get energized from being around others, introverts get energized being alone.  It's why some people can party every day and others think they're crazy.

I think introverts (mostly running by personal experience here) are just people who have developed the habit to despise their fellow man and woman. It's tiring for anyone to deal with people they dislike, mistrust or see no common ground with, or to be in company where they feel like a drag. "Opening up" is a person ridding themselves of this habit upon the realization that people aren't actually horrible, or discovering how to project themselves in an interesting way that they believe makes people enjoy their company. Extroverts are simply people who have a much broader range of other individuals they don't hate or at least hold contempt for.

It's actually most apparent in, for instance, the transition to college if you manage to land in a good place. Suddenly the people get friendlier, they like stuff that you like, and for some reason you feel weirdly energized when you've had a conversation with them, to the point where you look forward to seeing them.

What is "agnostic theism"? Sounds like colorless green ideas sleeping furiously.

Well, agnostic atheism is believing there is no god, but you can never really know, after all.

Agnostic theism is believing there is a god, but you still can't ever be sure.

I thought the latter was more you believed there is a god, but you don't know which one is the real god?
