Introverted or Extraverted?

Which one are you?

In case you don’t know:
Extraverted: enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. You know, outgoing and the such.
Introverted: tend to be more reserved and less assertive in social situations. More emotionally inclined.

Gets you pondering when answering the question. Don’t forget to give a reason why.

I remember we had a topic like this a long time ago.

I am not totally introverted or extroverted. I am usually quiet, but I can be talkative if there is something I really have opinions about. I am not outgoing, but I am not afraid to get everyone in the room to look at me.

Whoops, sorry, but it’s not good forum posting ethos to dig up something.

I know. It isn’t your fault. THat thread kinda died out, and it is always good to start fresh again.

Apparently I’m 70% introverted, but as I’m not a fan of either maths or psychology I’m prone to disbelieve this analysis.

Im more of the extravert type. I have no problem talking to strangers, groups or such things. I show my emotions as they are and am quick to speak with problems I have or feeling I feel.

I’m a proper little introvert…except not little. I like it though, there’s less pressure to talk to people :laughing:

I’m a complete extravert. I never shut up, and I enjoy being in social situations.

I’m mostly introvert when I’m talking to strangers. But when I’m talking to people I know, I’d say I’m pretty extravert. I just have trouble thinking of topics to talk about.

I am definitely an introvert. I’m uncomfortable being the center of attention and am quite reserved in social situations. I prefer being by myself than with large crowds of people; they make me a bit anxious.

At the moment I’m sort of in-between the two – not particularly prone to one or the other . I actually used to be extremely introverted, so much so to the point where I’d hide behind someone if I didn’t wish to meet new people. This shy period probably lasted for a few years, from the time when I was… ohh… nine or ten until the age of, say, eighteen. To this day, I still prefer not to interact with my peers in the outside world (outside of the internet).

The reason? To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why I’ve always harnessed a sensitive nature. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I’ve always felt inferior to others; that I’m good for nothing (except for when I help people); that I’ve always felt as if I can’t do things as well as other people; that I pretty much despise the way most of my peers (which happen to be the species known as the ever-present “California teenager”) converse, act, and interact with others; and that I’ve never been able to talk to a healthy handful of adolescents without feeling that I’m not “part of the club”. I’ve just never been a member of the “pack”, as it were. This has happened everywhere (at a now non-existent church that I used to go to when I was a kid; at parties; on the job; etc…) in that I’ve always stood on the sidelines while everyone else chats away and has a great time. It doesn’t bother me that much anymore, though, and I never understood what anyone was saying in these situations anyway, so… :stuck_out_tongue:

On the internet, I’m fine. No problem whatsoever. I’m perfectly content and relaxed around kids, adults, and elderly citizens, as well. It’s just… teenagers that I have a problem with (except for guys; a lot of adolescent guys that I meet are downright hilarious; I’m much more comfortable around guys than girls, as well, since I’m 100% tomboy).

I’m an introvert. Shy, have a small group of friends, don’t like events with tons of people.

I’m the type of person who’d rather have 1 true friend rather than 50 “friends” that barely know me. I used to be alot different, but when I got to middle school I just kinda went into a shell or something. Sorta like Violet… and actually I took a quiz to see what disney character I would be and I got Violet…
Which is ironic that I love to act…

Extroverted I like being in large groups like conventions and other big events. I tend to be more quiet and shy at night though. Except on the web, I’m more chatty at night.
