Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?

[Conkerials]

We are such opposites. I feel so much more calm and collected when I'm finally left to solitude.

When left by myself, I get worried that I did something wrong and everyone hates me, or everyone died in an accident and will never come back, or whatever other idea hits me. Logically, of course, I understand this is highly unlikely. I still believe something bad happened until I am no longer alone regardless.

Like, for the first three hours or so I will just be nervous. Its only prolonged times without social interaction that I freak out.

I find I am calmest in the company of one other person. Maybe two. 3+ other people makes me too focused on socialization to really do anything else.

Isolation is nice for me. I prefer disconnected communication, like texting or some other messaging. It's puts minimal stress on me pertaining to socializing, which makes it far more enjoyable.

[Harbitros]

I am an introvert and get really tired and withheld when around too many people for too long.

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

I'm fairly introverted, I tend to prefer keeping to myself and do my own thing rather than be around people a lot of the time.

[Phocidaea]

On this website, that's a rhetorical question.

[Benuty]

For the same reason people pretend to be autistic, sociopaths, obsessive compulsive, etc. They think it makes them edgy and special and cool.

People do that? That's deranged.

Mad certainly, but only legal professionals in a trial could call them insane .

[Shnercropolis]

I don't understand. I understand why an introvert might want to become an extrovert, but why would an extrovert try to be introverted?

For the same reason people pretend to be autistic, sociopaths, obsessive compulsive, etc. They think it makes them edgy and special and cool.

Occaisionally I think I'm sociopathic because I don't form strong emotional connections, then I remember that even thinking that makes me no better than these people.

[Esternial]

Predominantly introverted, but depending on who I hang out with I can be more outgoing and perhaps even pseudo-extroverted.

I do feel the need to be alone and recharge my batteries from time to time which, or so I've been led to believe, is a quality of an introvert.

[Ceres Community]

Introvert, kinda since the day I was born.

[Neo Philippine Empire]

Extrovert

[Manisdog]

I am in introvert, but If necessity requires I can be an extrovert. I generally prefer spending time with myself alone. I also tend to get drained after socializing excessively

[Zhouran]

I am a misanthropic introvert who chooses solitude over friends.

If you've got genuine reason to believe it, it's a different matter all together. But you know the kind of people I mean.

probably not, since I only have 1 symptom.

I am a misanthropic introvert who chooses solitude over friends.

That's almost like me too. But of course I have no problems be social if required. There are two different things. How person can handle his/hers solitude and how he/she can handle with social situations. I have very few friends, but they are REAL friends... and Vast multitude of other people whom names I can hardly remember.

Solitary 'Cat' can be part of a pack of 'Dogs', but 'Dogs' cannot ever be 'Cats' by their very nature.

Bit off both

This thread progressing any further without this song would be wrong

[Mammo]

Hello all.

I have decided to make this thread in order to get a better understanding of the NS community population. I enjoy getting to know what kind of people I may interact with everyday on NS.

I have only recently dug deeper into the Introvert and Extrovert personality types. Throughout my life I have wondered why exactly I was so quiet, observant, and full of thought. I was and still am, in a my mind quite a bit. I have always enjoyed and preferred alone time rather than social events and activities. This for some reason bothered me, leading me to think there was something wrong with me. I then discovered the personality types of extroverts and introverts. My mind had been opened and I had been relieved.
I have come to understand myself and I am what is considered an introvert. Of course we are all actually ambiverts(combination of extroverted and introverted qualities)but one of the two main types is more dominant than the other.

So NS, are you more introverted or extroverted?

[Des-Bal]

I'm kind of weird. I like spending my time alone, like blinds drawn blanket up "I'm not leaving this room till I have to" alone. I don't mind being around people but don't feel any desire to talk to them and in spontaneous one on one conversation I tend to mumble awkwardly. When I have a second or two to think about what's going on I speak clearly and confidently I'm an excellent communicator, I'm awesome at public speaking, and I can manage groups like a boss.

[The Opinion Guy]

I'm proudly an ambivert

Although maybe I'm leaning towards introversion if I were to choose one of the two.

We are all ambiverts ,but we are either dominantly introverted or extroverted.

Hah. 217 introvert votes versus 42 extrovert votes.

Who would have thunk it? People who spend all day posting on a semi-obscure forum on the internet are not gifted with social graces. A truly enlightening discovery.

Do you get that introversion is not the same as being socially awkward?

[Orvius]

Do you get that introversion is not the same as being socially awkward?

Yes, but isn't it reasonable that one would lead to the other?

[The United Colonies of Earth]

Introverted.

I think introversion could lead to social awkwardness sometimes, but I don't think being socially awkward leads to introversion all that often. Though I'm sure that happens from time to time. It's just a big peeve of mine when people think they're the same thing, so I wanted to make sure you knew the difference (sorry if that sounds patronizing, not my intent).
