Introvert/Extrovert

Me 2

 

Introvert

 

Even though I have poor social skills (they're getting better) Im an Extrovert. I was an introverted child, not by choice, I wasnt popular and I had an under developed personality, due to being in the closet. When I moved I came out of the closet and came out of my shell. I love being an extrovert and Im still developing the social skills I wasnt able to develop as a child. I still give alot of backhanded compliments and talk about sex at the worst times, I also dont have much tact.

 

I would generally consider myself an introvert. Social interaction can be tiring after a long time, and sometimes I just need some time alone to recharge (otherwise I get cranky and have a habit of snapping at people).

 

Definitely an introvert. I can assume the role of an extrovert temporarily...I do so for work every day. But it’s exhausting, and I usually need time to myself to recharge.

 

I'm an Omnivert.

 

Neither. I think am an ambivert.

Sometimes I need a while to be alone, but on the other hand I need to be around people the next time. Neither partying hard or being alone for hours is for me, I like something between (in fact I never go to parties, but that's because of the alcohol, I hate when people around me get drunk or are trying to force me a drink)
Some people who knew me as a child thought about me as an introvert, because I didn't talk much and I didn't have many friends, but in reality I was just very shy and I wanted to be around people, but it was just hard for me because of my shyness.
Nowadays my shyness is mostly (but not 100%) gone, and I can do more things I actually like to do, like making more friends.

 

I'm a pervert. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Most are rather surprised when I describe myself as an introvert. That's because I'm not shy. But I definitely prefer my own company, or that of one or two good friends.

 

In most situations, I am a quiet and retiring person, I’d never ‘stick my head above the parapet’.

However, when called to, I’ve addressed crowds of over 1’000 on complex issues. I also have been on stage. Acting is not that hard for me as I’ve probably spent most of my life pretending to be someone else.

Basically, I don’t have that much of a problem with shyness, unless I have to show the real me.

 

There's no denying that I'm primarily an introvert (and the results of the poll come as no surprise as most people who hang out in online communities are introverted), but I enjoy time spent with groups of friends when I get the opportunity. I also have no problems leading a class of students. What I require is ample time alone to counterbalance the time spent with other people. I'm not someone who cannot stand to be around others, but I need to "equalize" it somehow after I've spent time around people.

 

Ambivert...? Sorta? Like, I can handle a silent book club or a roaring party with feeling uncomfortable.
I'm so ambi in every way:
Ambisexual
Omnivore
Ambivert...
Ambi is in my genes.

 

This describes me, though maybe just a little more introverted. I'm generally not a big fan of crowds but I've gotten used to them and can be more extroverted for my retail job, though it is a bit of an effort. Usually I prefer doing things with a small group of friends rather than going to big shindigs and I'll wait a couple weeks after opening to see a new movie as there are fewer people to deal with in the theaters.

 

Introvert w/ social anxiety

I was a lot more social and trusting, as a child, but guess bad experiences left me badly broken.

 

I'm an introverted extrovert.

 

This.

I hate socializing, with the exception of family (direct and extended). I only have a handful of friends, who I don't see very often. I am a homebody through and through and prefer as little as possible social interactions. I usually feel pretty drained after socializing, so I try to keep it to a minimum, or restrict it to Fridays or Saturdays, so I can sleep late the following day. The odd times I socialize on Sundays, I usually cope okay the following day, but around 1pm or so, I feel extremely tired and just want to go sleep

 

I'm an introvert.

 

I realze now that I meant ambivert. I thing I was getting it mixed up with omnivore.

 

i look like an extrovert person to strangers because i talk and smile a lot but i'm exactly the opposite.. i could be alone for days and wouldn't care!! i do many things on my alone time and i know how to entertain myself! also if i spend the whole day with people around me i get so tired and i really need my solitude.. i never understood people who never like being alone.. and actually most of the people i know say that they get bored when they're alone..
