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'm about the same exact as you.0 -
People suck the life force out of me but I must like it because I place myself in social settings all the damn time:grumble:0

Extrovert. However, I do prefer a quiet day at home with the family as opposed to some lame party.
Me too!0 -
I'm really surprised to see so many introverts here. I am a huge introvert--like DangerSass said, people suck the life force out of me! I prefer to be with my hubby and the rest of my family and avoid social gatherings for the most part, but I don't mind doing dinner with another couple now and again. That said, I did have a blast at the Glow Run Saturday night, in the midst of about 3500 other people, but I don't think I talked to anyone outside of my party. I always tell my hubby I'd be perfectly content to live on a deserted island as long as I have internet and can keep in touch with people that way.0

Same as avir8. I gain my energy, recharge, by being alone. INTj according to Meyers Briggs...which accounts for less than 1/2 percent of females in the US!0

guess i'm introvet i prefer to be alone. at christmas i was thankful i worked noon til 5 pm by the time i got home half the family was leaving
dont get me wrong i enjoy my family and others but only in small doses. i go to church but i transfered from a church with over 3,000 members to one with less than 500 members mainly to get more involved but i still neesd alone time. i used to be the opposite outgoing be life of aprty but ex husband wouldnt let me out house without accusing me of doing every tom, **** or harry in the area then when i left him and came homei would go somewhere with friends or alone and my parents thought i was going to spend money on myself rather then take care of my daughters needs (still do) so instead of arguing i just stay locked inmy roon and dont associate with anyone0 -
According to the Myers-Briggs Typology Test I am an INTJ. Which is Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging. It's uncommon for a girl to be Thinking and/or Judging.
There are two possible characteristics for the of the four letters:
Introvert or Extrovert (I or E)
Intuitive or Sensing (N or S)
Thinking or Feeling (T or F)
and Juding or Perception (J or P)
You can take a shortened version of that actual test here: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp
There are no right or wrong answers. Just answer Honestly.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"!
My whole family are engineers. Cracks me up to hear jokes. I was supposed to be an engineer and I just couldn't handle all the introversion and isolation... so I become an accountant. That's better..... right????

I don't know. I like being alone, but I definitely have more energy and am happier in a group of people.0
-
INFJ..introvert. However, I make much of my living as a public speaker. Go figger...0

You can't be something that was invented after the human race began.0

Im definitely an EXTROVERT!! Im loud, crazy, obnoxious (sometimes) and just love being around people and meeting people. I cant stand too much quiet so I usually always have music playing! Although I have 2 toddlers so there really isnt ever any quiet!0

I'm really surprised to see so many introverts here.
Me too, I had read before that introverts account for only about 30% of the population...they must all be on here ;-).
I'm an introvert as well, I'm totally awkward [lol
] and love to be at home, and being around people too much makes me lose so much energy. I love being an introvert but people are usually so weird around me because I'm quiet. 0 -
Depends on which theory you're going off of..

INTJ....definite introvert. But a lot of my job is public speaking and debate and teaching. I can handle it fine....but one on one watch out I will go silent and hide. At a social event I am the wallflower. I spend copious amounts of time alone, if there are people around for a long time I freak. I prefer the reading, researching and writing aspects of my job.0

Extreme introvert. But not shy at all. Yes, there is a difference.0

My answer is "yes".

I'm an introvert, however I never have alone time, but I don't really consider being around my kids 24/7 an intrusion into my time like I would other people. I don't mind going places like the movies, dinner etc as long as its with my hubby and/or kids. I hate big crowds(even after growing up with 7 sisters), I don't like talking on the phone, I'm a horrible in real life friend because I don't like making plans or just hanging out and talking and I like being at home but I'm a good online friend because it's more convenient and doesn't make me uncomfortable.(I know that sounds horrible, but it's just who I am)
However I get out of my comfort zone a lot because I have children. I take them to playgroups, the zoo/ice skating/roller skating with the local homeschool groups, etc. I also break out a little because I have a very introverted daughter(the rest take after their dad) and I want her to step out of her comfort zone sometimes.0 -
Introvert completely. I even get anxiety when around a lot of people, especially when its crowded.0
-
lol there is no difference with anything, peoples perspectives change all of the time.

introvert. My employer had all of it's management employees take a Myers-Briggs exam. I ranked extremely introvert, off-the-scale type lol. 0

You completely described me! I can't function if I don't have time to myself. I'm pretty chatty and friendly with people, but I hate small talk and don't generally care about whats being said. I like intense topics or debates. I'm an INFJ. It's nice to see so many introverts! I feel like I'm constantly surrounded by people who don't really get my introverted nature.0
