Whenever I get asked if I'm introverted/extroverted, I always want to go on a long tangent about how introversion/extroversion is not a black and white thing, so I'll go ahead and do it here.
I'd say I am an introvert with extrovert qualities. I love my alone time, I love being physically alone and enjoying my company and no one elses (of course going on the internet and talking to people doesn't count in this scenario), but, I also love people watching and being alone in spaces where other people are present. I love hanging out in coffee shops, libraries, cafes, and enjoying my time alone while also seeing how other people are going about their lives. I guess you could say people-watching is a hobby of mine?
Anyway, while I like being alone, I get incredibly lonely if I'm without human interaction for too long. When I say human interaction I mean just being near people in general, so if I'm inside for too long I like to go outside with my music, acknowledge other people, and find spaces where other people are hanging around. I need someone to talk to regularly, or I feel really sad.
But- if I am interacting with people too much- I get super exhausted and want to be alone again. It's kind of a vicious cycle.
So, as for whether I identify more as an extrovert or and introvert... I'd say like many other things about me, that tends to vary! Maybe leaning a bit more to introversion though.
