I'm an introvert.
I like time to myself.
I like peace and quiet.
I don't like crowds.
I prefer small get togethers to parties.
I shy away from the spotlight.
I prefer talking to someone one on one than many people in a group because I get a.d.d. and easily distracted.
I like being aroun people but only in small doses.
I'm a homebody, but sometimes I get cabin fever.
I can't stand people who are clingy and are co-dependent because I'm not.
I'm a deep, internal thinker. I observe rather than talk in group settings.
If I don't get time to myself, I get cranky.
I don't mind going to movies by myself.

I guess I would be an introvert also. I don't like crowds and really loud places.
I definitely don;t like sitting in rush hour traffic.
But --->>> I also don't like being alone.0 -
I don't want to talk about it.0

I'm an introvert with extroverted tendencies meaning I like time to myself, am introspective, but I like doing group activities and can get out of my shell when it's appropriate (or drunk ):drinker:0

Bad day?0 -
Introvert.
Generally, it people steal my energy. All people. It takes a lot of energy for me just to talk. People around me have no idea how hard it is for me to form a sentance. I am at work all day long in an extrovert environment. I have to talk to people all day. Communication is a huge part of my job. When I get home from work, I shut down completely. It's really ahrd for people in my life to understand that I need to recharge, and it takes a while. It's not just liek 15 minutes. It takes time. And, I'm not happy about having to talk. I just like to be quiet and have time alone.
Fortunately, I can do that about half the time now.
I find it difficult to be in a relationship being the way that I am. It just doesn't really fit. I require a lot of down time. More than most normal people. It's not a physical thing at all. My body is ready to get up and go, but my mind needs a rest from the noise.0 -
I would say extrovert. I have no problems talking to just about anyone0

Extrovert. However, I do prefer a quiet day at home with the family as opposed to some lame party.0

well since you described me so well, I decided to just quote you (minus the movies, I go with hubby, but not really into movies)0 -

strong introvert. I can non-awkwardly express myself around others, but I prefer keeping to myself most of the time.0

I guess an introvert but I do like going out occasionally. I just have a low tolerance for people and for stupidity. Possibly because my expecations of people are too high in this day and age.0

Extrovert until I gained all the weight, then for 14 years I was an intovert and now I'm back to my old self, total extrovert0

I'm the same way. I require lots of time to myself. I have always been that way, and thought something was wrong with me.0 -

Sometimes the whole introvert/extrovert thing seems to be a false dichotomy like Democrat/Republican!
Since I suffer from a terminal condition called Engineering Career Syndrome (not sure what color ribbon that gets...), I must be an introvert of the most pernicious kind. Reminds me of my favorite joke about engineers:
Q: How can you tell if an engineer is extroverted?
A: Because when they talk to you, they stare at YOUR shoes rather than their OWN!
And one other thing....how can ANYONE be introverted in this Brave New World of Facebook? I have hundreds of "friends"!0 -
Used to be an introvert but now am an extrovert.0

Introvert. I have crushes all the time and then retreat like lightning when the person shows any interest in me!! lol:noway:...but i dont like doing a lot of fun stuff alone.0
