His comments that insist that Bella should stay away from him only serve to internally shift the blame away from himself if she succumbs to him, as well as reinforcing her staying with him despite any danger she perceives, by showing that although he thinks their relationship is dangerous for her, he keeps at it anyway.

And both the characters and actors may be introverted. They strike me that way in tv interviews - and Robert Pattinson said in a print interview: "I was quite shy throughout my life."

I saw this movie to see what all the excitement was about. My opinion is that BOTH Edward & Bella are introverts. As a fellow introvert (and HSP), I think that sometimes we get "a taste of [our] own medicine" upon meeting another introvert. In my opinion, Bella "[took] personal offense" of Edward's behavior partly because she was confused. I think that even though we know the nature of our introversion, and because we live in an extraverted society, we sometimes befuddle ourselves and get confused by our/others introversion. “Bella, of course, takes personal offense, perceiving these behaviors as disgust and repulsion.”
