Are you an Introvert or Extrovert?

I am a combination, but more an introvert. I am pretty much an introvert in a group of people, sometimes whether I know them well or not. Actually sometimes I would feel more comfortable in a group of people that I don’t know, than a group that I do know.

Maybe I feel that they aren’t going to care how I am as much as the people that I know are. That probably is strange but that’s the way I feel. I do not avoid crowds of people and do not turn down invitations to be in a group, but would prefer not to be in that situation.

Please,please, never ask me to play charades! That is my biggest fear at a party of people I don’t know that well. I’ve never done it and never will!

That is definitely an introverted sign. I feel most comfortable being one on one with a friend or with a couple of friends. Then I can be more of myself.

I have a very dry sense of humor, and my friends like and understand that - strangers sometimes take me seriously and that is embarrassing. I guess I am really more of an introvert much to my dismay. Public speaking is definitely not my bag!.

It's funny, because before I learned what they both meant, I thought something completely different. I always thought an introvert was someone who was a wallflower, shy, quiet, kept to themselves. Thought extrovert meant life of the party, real loud, outgoing.

After taking a class at Hewlett-Packard, I learned that it is only this>> Intovert= gets their energy from within themselves. Extrovert= needs outside sources to be complete, gets energy from other people. Don't know which is better or if it matters.

We need all kinds of people to get through life, for different reasons, of course! I, myself turned out to be an introvert! I feel good about that, as I have always been independent.

Just wonder what the extroverts do when there is nobody around. Anyway, that's my answer from within! Sources: Hewlett-Packard class, maybe Meyers-Briggs?

We really do need both types! So everyone's okay, no matter what! .

Extro I tend to operate on the philosophy that if you don't put yourself out there, you miss out on all kinds of interesting interactions that can happen when you do. I try to bring an aspect of the unexpected to every encounter, no matter how seemingly pedestrian. Why not!.

Definitely an introvert! I have always had problems communicating to people...I'm very observent when it comes to other's feelings, but I feel that feelings are to be kept private. I have an "academic" personality, and I'm much more comfortable with books (and animals - especially dogs and horses) than I am with other people.

I make friends slowly and with great care - and my friendships last. It's lonely at times, but it's my personality. To quote one of my favorite books (Dark Rivers of the Heart, by Dean Koontz) "It's just life...we all get through it."

I would have to say... ...a little of each! It really depends on the situation and how I feel about it as to how introverted or extroverted I am... But I never like, the life of the party! Nope, never!

I'm more comfortable chatting with a few people, not presiding over a group. I'm most extroverted around very close friends or family. I can be very shy at times!

But then again, I have taught classes of 100+ students, and spoke at the Library of Congress without a problem. Poppet!

Introvert! I consider myself as being introvert. I don’t feel comfortable when I am among strangers.

I can not communicate even with my close friends when I am in a gathering that I don’t consider all of them as my close friends. However when I am with my very close friends I feel much better and I can easily have fun with them. The main reason that I don’t like going to large parties is that I hardly communicate with people for the first time.

A lot of times this bothers me. I always kind of hate this attitude of mine, but I could do little about that. Sources: my behavior!Paradise.

That's an interesting question for me to answer. I’ve spent my life around people. I am a lawyer after all.

I can hold my own in a conversation, speak well in public and have hesitancy about making my views known when the circumstances require it. So, I assumed that I was an extrovert. A couple of years ago in a week long seminar, I took the Myers- Briggs Test.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_... When the papers were scored, I was surprised to see that I registered as being mildly introverted. I was surprised until I reread the definition. Since they define extroversion as being recharged and energized by being around other people and introversion as the opposite, I realized that they were probably right.

Thinking further, I realize that I enjoy the company of people that I know and trust, but find the company of strangers--or at least people that I don’t know well enough to relax around--to be a bit of a drain of psychic energy. I was surprised that I had lived fifty years without learning this truth about myself. LIVE AND LEARN!

I hope that they were kidding in the cartoon.

I used to be very very extroverted I was quite the social butterfly, I enjoyed being around lots of people. I loved parties, festivals, gatherings of all kinds. But over the years I've grown quieter and more introspective.

I still enjoy the company of people, but not in the same kinds of environments. I like spending time with my family and close friends, and I like meeting new people in a more conversational situation. In my work, I get to meet new people every day.

But I also need my private time. I'm by no means a recluse, but I really have to have my alone time. I like solitary activities.

I write, I paint, I read, I meditate - a lot of my favorite activities are solitary. I enjoy being alone with my own thoughts, I enjoy silence. I value my time, and I want to spend it doing things that are meaningful to me.

I think one good conversation is far more valuable than a dozen shallow conversations. I like connecting with people, but I also like exploring myself. If that makes me an "introvert" then thats fine.

There's nothing wrong with being either way. When I was more extroverted and outgoing, I had a lot of enjoyable experiences, learned a lot about people, and did a lot I wouldn't have otherwise done. I'm very glad I had that time, but we all quieten down eventually, and these days, silence really is golden..

You have I’m sure noticed how some politicians (Bill Clinton for example) seem to draw energy from a crowd. Well I used to be that way and I could work a room or a crowd just like Clinton does and I could keep on doing it until I had visited with everyone there. As they years have gone by though I have tended to shift gears and now I really need so alone time to recharge my batteries and gather my thoughts.In one day a few years back I attended and participated in a large meeting in Knoxville at noon, a ball in Chattanooga at six and a social hour in Kingsport at nine.

When I was finished I wasn’t even tired but now just the travel would wear me out let alone the gatherings themselves. I don’t know if it age or if I just burned myself out but give me a few hours, or even days alone now and I will be a happy camper. Anymore big crowds just make me nervous.
