Kinda inbetween really, at first encounters I seem stand-offish and introverted. But after those first few meetings I really become talkative, people generally are pleasantly surprised and I've been told that I'm very good at conversing and they say this with a 'when did that happen' kind off attitude.
Introvert all the way. Would much prefer a quiet evening at home with a few people then going out to clubs and bars where I am forced into awkward social situations. The few close friends I keep, I very much enjoy being around them. The worst, one awkward introvert meeting another, lol. I need to have outgoing extroverts in my circle who convince me to do stuff I would rather not do.
Thank you for all replying. I think in my case it just depends on the people I am around. I can be quiet with some people, but others I can be myself with. I agree about sometimes getting bored with certain people. After thinking about it, it has actually made me question based on how unsocial I am at times if I can sustain a relationship with someone. It is kind of sucky, because I can't seem to see myself with a person simply because either I would grow tired of them or vice versa. Not saying no one holds my interest, but rather I don't know if I could hold theirs since I like to be alone a lot. I do like to socialize, but it depends on who its with. I also like groups better than one on one because I hate having to keep the conversation going....I would rather listen. I think everyone has their own way. Has this affected past or present relationships for you?
Im an Introvert. I always go on lunch breaks by myself because I prefer it. I also hate to talk in car journeys. I just generally prefer to be by myself most of the time. I really hate groups, I just dont say much in them.
I am hugely introverted I despise exiting my house I'd rather be inside on my own reading or playing games than doing anything outside.
I'm a introvert for sure. I can't stand large groups of people nor do I like being the center of attention. I go to a club once in awhile but I definitely prefer being at home with just a few friends.
I used to lean pretty heavily toward the introvert side of the spectrum, but I would definitely consider myself an ambivert in the sense that I love talking with people (most of the times) and being social, but sometimes, I just need to go be alone and be away from the crowd.
Introvert here! My life changed after I read The Introvert Advantage and learned I wasn't crazy or anti-social, like I had thought. I gain energy from quiet time alone, and lose it when interacting with others. Realizing introversion is an innate temperament and not a flaw has lead me to become more confident and comfortable in relating to people. I can now enjoy being social, but also recognize my need for a break, and respect it. I'll always require alone time, but if you get me chatting about something I'm interested in, I can go on forever. XD
The 99.99th percentile of introverted.... Ok, I'm probably better than that - it's more like the 99.99th with certain exceptions. The key is I absolutely can't initiate anything...
