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.
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)
I know, right? I am the same way and sometimes people just don't get it. It's not that I don't like people, I just like being by myself more.0 -
I love a good party. I can get rowdy and work the crowd with the best extroverts. But when it's over, I'm drained and just want to be left alone. I also quite like just hanging at my house.
Really.... I'm just impulsive as all get out and change mf mind on a whim. Lol0 -
nice shirt! :-)0 -
Introvert for sure... I stay away from most people as what they say half the time makes no sense and I don't want to sound like them.0

I am an extrovert to the max. School teacher and I can talk to anyone, no one is a stranger! :happy:0

I am INTP. Very Introvert. Have always put myself down a bit, as I thought I was somehow second rate, not being "popular" or comfortable in large groups,etc. Saying that my career involved a fair bit of public speaking, which I enjoyed doing once I got my head around it.
There is a really good book out there now by Susan Cain "Quiet", or look her up on TEDTalks ... Fascinating discussion about how the world today is built around extrovert ideals like "teamwork" and open plan offices, and that we fail to appreciate the positives that can come with introversion- eg creativity, productivity.
Has changed the way I think about myself and others. Also fascinating to watch some of these characteristics starting to grow in my children. I suspect one is I, the other E.0 -
I am an occupational extrovert, and an actual introvert.
My job requires that I be very take charge, confident, out-there, and able to speak with people, say 'no' to people, direct people, etc. I love my job. It's very stressful, fast-paced, always on-the-go. I'm quite dynamic in my work place. This isn't ego, this is fact- I love my job, my job loves me.
When I get home, though? I want to hide in my house, be quiet, and just... be with myself, and my husband... and sometimes not even him. Sometimes I just need a few hours to myself, to gather my sanity.0 -

introvert. I'm very quiet and also very shy. I like being introverted, but hate being shy. I lack social skills. But oh well. I am who I am.0

i am on the fence, but a little more intraverted than extraverted. Some more info you guys might want to check out is the different facets of these types on the myers briggs scale.
We did alot of work on these at a leadership training session for our managers. These are really good for understanding how people are different, especially if you manage people.
Below are the different facets of these types, I am an INTP type personality.

Introvert. Always been. Always was shy as a kid, I even cried when they took my picture when I was a toddler. LOL Social anxiety now, I get all garbled when I talk. I express myself so much better in writing. 0

Pretty much this.. however as I've gotten older I tend to put my two cents worth into group settings.0 -

I feel like I'm an introvert but my husband thinks I'm extroverted. He is extroverted around strangers but turns into an introvert when uncomfortable with someone that has power over him. Case in point: I was at his doctor's appt where he proceeded to give his doctor a long spiel looking at me (instead of the dr.) the whole time. The Dr. was so uncomfortable that he in turn looked at me the whole time for reassuring nods while my husband was speaking to him. Two men speaking to each other with their eyes glued on me, ridiculous.0

between Type 7 & 8 (and boy are these right...)
Type Seven
The Enthusiast
The busy, productive type. Sevens are extroverted, optimistic, versatile, and spontaneous. Playful, high-spirited, and practical, they can also misapply their many talents, becoming over-extended, scattered, and undisciplined. They constantly seek new and exciting experiences, but can become distracted and exhausted by staying on the go. They typically have problems with impatience and impulsiveness. At their Best: they focus their talents on worthwhile goals, becoming appreciative, joyous, and satisfied.
Type Eight
The Challenger
The powerful, aggressive type. Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to improve others' lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.0 -
Extrovert- I like to be social and love social situations. I love to be on stage and was on the debate team in high school. I don't mind attention.0
