Are you an Introvert or an Extrovert?

introvert just like the other 99% of people on here

Actually, I am an introvert. In my defense... I'm also autistic. I tend to find socializing a problem or bother. It can often take me a lot of effort to interact with others. I'm the type of person who prefers being in her own little bubble. If that bubble is popped or anything, I'm more likely to scream at anyone who burst that bubble of mine basically.

I'm both, it really depends on my mood and how my day's been going. If I've been having a really crappy day I'm usually more introverted and don't want to be around people but if everythings going good I'm usually more extroverted. 70/30 for the time tho I'm extrovert. I just like meeting new people and being social and most of it has to do with confidence. If you lack confidence you're going to end up being more introvert, confident people are usually really extroverted. I couldn't imagine not being social, sounds way too depressing. I'd rather go out and meet people and pick up girls lol. Can't do that when you never go out! I mean, you only live once so might of well make the best of it right?

Extroverted introvert (introvert with slight extroverted characteristics). I love hanging out with friends and stuff, but after the day is done, all I want to do is to go into my room and recharge and do my own things.

See, it's strange for me. They call me an extroverted introvert, in which I normally stay at home (and prefer doing that), yet would gladly organize events, socialize and hang out with my peers. I'm quite open and talkative once I'm out of home...I just need to have the reason and motivation to step out the door. If I don't, yeaaah it's hermit mode.

I'm definitely an introvert, often crippled by autism and social anxiety. Going out in public even feels like a nightmare to me because I always fear things will turn against me, and it explains why I tend to keep myself locked in my room at home.

I'm a very strong introvert. I like hanging out with friends and chatting with people, but if I don't get my alone time, I start to lash out after a while. I become irritated, and it's just not good. Thankfully my friends understand and all because I don't want to hang out doesn't mean that I don't like them. They still invite me to go places every time, and I'll accept once in a while, but it makes me feel good that they're still inviting me. I want to go, but sometimes I'm just not up for it.

I'm introverted, like I love being with people, but only people I'm good friends with, otherwise I can't stand having to socialize with people for more than a few hours. I desperately need my evenings where I can relax and unwind and not deal with speaking to people face to face. Goes with large groups of people as well, like even with friends, groups make me even more drained and so sometimes I choose to not go to big gatherings with friends. But on the flip side, being alone for too long can impact me negatively, so...

I don't think its something you can easily categorize. :/

I'm an introvert, but perhaps less than I used to be. I'm happy to go out and socialise (though preferably not with strangers) but I need time to recharge, and to do that I need to be alone. But I'm confident enough to lead groups and speak out, and I have no problem voicing my opinions. I default to shy and uncomfortable if I'm with people I don't gel with or know very well.

Introvert, most definitely. While I do tend to get anxious around other people, which I'm sure doesn't help matters at all, ultimately I don't mind being around others, and sometimes actually want it. But if I can't get any time to myself, I will definitely feel it because I will end up getting cranky and irritable. So yeah.

Extrovert, sorta by choice tbh. I struggled with shyness for a good while but I made myself get over it via exposure therapy. I feel like there's just too much to lose from being shy

Is it possible to be a shy extrovert?
I'm slightly shy at first but once the convo gets going I warm up to people easily. I'm not the loudest person but I do thrive off of social stuff. I don't prefer being alone, even though that's my life lately. (lel I need to make more friends)
I only go online a lot because I have nothing better to do, but when I do have a social life you'll literally never see me online and I'd rather be out doing stuff all day than sit at home. Jeez I need that back lol.

This describes me as well. I think I'm a shy extrovert too. Whenever I have a good conversation with someone I wonder why I don't do it more often. Probably cuz I don't share interests with most people. I don't like conversation for the sake of conversation, but I do like conversation that's more like verbal intercourse.

Extroverted... but often mistaken for an introvert due to my anxiety pulling me down. D: I also thought I was an introvert until I found out that being an introvert or an extrovert was based on your confidence in social situations and whatnot, but where you get your energy from. And I love to talk to other people - so extroverted it is for me!

I'd probably be an extrovert if I weren't so shy >.<

I once made one of these fancy personality tests and it turned out I'm a INTJ, so an introvert
This is true, at least in real life >.>
Compared to how much I talk with online people, I'm practically a mute-by-choice IRL

haha you're an ex extrovert

Regardless of who I am around, I am an introvert. I'm very shy in real life, and it takes quite a bit for me to get close to people. I'm not good around large groups of people and prefer to be one-on-one with someone.

I'm an introvert, without a doubt. I do like to hang out with my friends, but there's only so much socializing I can do without feeling mentally exhausted, so I find myself needing some alone time to fully recharge. It also takes me a while before I'm comfortable with people, especially large groups, but that feeling will disappear once I feel I can trust them.

I actually wrote my first essay about what it is like being more introverted in my college English class, too. It was definitely fun writing it!
