I agree! That's how I read your entry, too; that part of my reply was in response to extrapenguin ("His suboptimal childhood and the whole "time travel 10k years into the future" shows up in how he has trouble interacting with the hoomans on occasion"). Sorry, I should have quoted!

Interestingly, I also see Zhao Yunlan as being introverted at heart, despite his high comfort and skill levels with other people, and all of his networking, general bonhomie and sociability. He has extremely few close relationships - only Da Qing, before Shen Wei comes along. He doesn't show his true self more easily than Shen Wei; in fact, his extroverted, casual, flippant and thoughtless ways are a protective facade, in many ways.

But that is a different topic! :-)
