    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

    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 :)

    this is me. 100 percent.

    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

    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.

    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.
