Introvert or extrovert???

Im a introvert until you get to know me

I am an introverted extrovert. When I need to, I can turn it on. I am the life of the party with people I feel comfortable with. I can organize and put on fantastic parties. I have spoken in front of a crowd 1500. On the flip side, if I had my choice, I would just read a book in a quiet corner. I will also go to great lengths to avoid social situations unless I absolutely have to participate. It's complicated.

I used to be introverted but decided when I turned like 18 that was silly and now I'm not.
I'll talk to anyone, be a goof, so I suspect I was never an introvert I was just quiet

I am a introvert.

just to point out - introvert/extrovert isn't about how you react in groups of people - it isn't about being shy or outgoing - introversion is about how you rejuvenate - do you recover by yourself or do you draw energy from others around you

This. Very much this. I like being around people and once in a while I even like parties, but I also need time at home, though not necessarily by myself, afterwards to recover from socializing. I like being around people until, sometimes quite suddenly, I don't want to be around people anymore.

Definitely love getting together with folks sometimes--and teamwork excites me, but while I enjoy them, people exhaust me. Crowds especially. Give me some good music and a space that's people-free and that's where I recharge

ppl are always shocked when I say i'm an introvert because at work i'm definitely a bit of a social butterfly at work...but when I leave work, i'm done for the day and would happily go for several days without talking to people

Im get comfortable pretty fast so i become an extrovert while around people.. i use to be huge extrovert when i was young and needed constant attention to feal alive but as i became older i stayed more to myself and started becoming more introverted so i can say i became an introvert/ extrovert

By this definition I'm very extrovert. I have always loved being around people. If I feel bummed I go friend friends to hang out with.

I’m an introvert. I’ve known that from a young age. When I find myself having to socialize, I always think to myself (and often say aloud) how exhausting it is.



...now get some alcohol in me... 💃🏼😆

I keep to myself most of the time but I'm a natural entertainer. I'm generally quiet in social situations until I get on stage when the performer comes out.

I'm a full blown Introvert and it's so annoying.

Completely introverted. I’m a homebody, I like small groups vs large crowds/parties and if I go out one weekend I need the next few (one or two weekends) to recharge. People often mistaken this for being shy but I’m truly more so selective and enjoy being on my own.

Introvert, in every sense of the word

Feeling the introvert extra hard today. After a few weeks of posting very regularly on here, the skim-the-top 'conversations' and lighthearted banter, while fun, have me totally worn out. It's a solid reminder of why I never last long on message boards, heheh. INFJ all the way tho

badtraffic

Depends on my mood. I can either be the person in the middle of the room holding court, or the one nursing a drink in a corner by myself. Either way, if I've been around people too long I need time by myself to recharge

Introvert through and through

I'm very introverted. Its so bad that when I leave my house and go like, say to a dinner, I can go the whole meal and not tell you what my waiter looked like because I never looked up from my lap. I have a lot of tattoos and piercings and people stare at me and I can feel my face get flushed a lot. I dyed my hair pink for about 3 days and dyed it back to blonde because I couldn't stand that people were looking at me. I would rather chop my own boob off than introduce myself to a group of people. I'd rather be home alone, all the time.

For the introverts...

is the anonymity of an online forum appealing?
what draws you to be social here when you'd rather not be in your every day life?

I'm quite extrovert and i'm a stay at home mom so i'm attracted to online forums because i like talking to people and being around people. i will have conversations with random people on the street. i also keep a very broad social network.

It's good for boundaries...real talk, addiction *is* a thing when it comes to internet and social media and that notwithstanding, part of the appeal for me is that I can simply take a break when I need one. I do that regularly with other social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter). It's not always easy or polite to tell people you want a break from them when you're hanging out, but taking a few days away from a forum or other social-media outlet rarely raises any eyebrows.

The anonymity is...somewhat appealing? But I'm good at being social when I need to be, it just wears me out, so my perspective is gonna be different than people who abhor social activities and things like that.

I love people, I love talking and listening and interacting with people--I just love it until I'm done, then I need my time Online forums make it easy to take that time.

if you like interactions why do you feel you're an introvert? Because you need your downtime to regroup? you gain energy from being alone not from a group?
