  • Introverted/Shy/Independent
  • Extroverted/Outgoing

0 voters

Hello, all.

I have had

this question swimming in my head for some time now, and so I decided to just go ahead and make a poll on it.

Are you more introverted, independent, and shy, or do you lean towards the extroverted side, being

naturally outgoing and always in the center of the action?

I’ve always been situated in the former group

– I am naturally shy and extremely independent, though I do enjoy hanging out with a few family members or

chatting with various acquiantances every once in a while.

You may not think so, but I am sensitive to

the point that I will dwell on a particular subject for hours at a time, which is one reason why I (sometimes)

really hate my personality – heh. People say that I’m sweet, but often times I’m a little too

“underdog-ish”. Even talking to you guys makes me nervous, for some reason.

So what about you?

:slight_smile:

I’m pretty

much in the middle. ^_^;

I can be shy at first, like when I first meet people, but once I get to know

people a little better I can be quite… loud. XD I chose extroverted since I seem to be leaning slightly more to

that side. I’ve changed in the past tw years, though. I guess sometimes the environment you live in (In my case

I changed schools) makes a big difference.

I don’t know if I like being the center of attention, but I

do weird things that make people stare at me. Like when at school we were supposed to go post our poem up

somewhere in the school, I was with my friend and I had found my spot. two girls were working on homework or

something there, too. There was a wad of tape on the back of my poem, I ran towards the wall, jumped up and

slapped my paper on the wall. Then turned around and ran away with my friend. Apprently the two were staring at

me, and my friend started laughing at me. My poem’s still hanging up there on the wall, crooked, mind you.

Let me put it this way…I’m an

extrovert trapped inside an introvert’s body. 8D

~~=oP

Sammeh - You know what, I am kind of the same way…at times. Once I start to feel

comfortable around certain people…I feel more confident and start to throw out that extroverted side of me;

however, that is quite rare, even if I’ve known a person for years and years. And yeah, you’re right: the

environment can change alot of things. A homey, comfortable setting will naturally make one feel more at ease,

while a tense situation will bring out just the opposite in some people…like me.

By the way, weird

people are cool. If there weren’t any weird people in the universe, the planet would always be drab. :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

PixarVixen - Haha – that’s funny! Maybe I should have included an option

for people who are right in the middle…? :laughing:

#5

I really

can’t tell the diffrence with me. :unamused:

#6

I’m with PV. I try to be extroverted, but somehow I

still end up a wallflower. Of course, it doesn’t exactly help that I apparently have the ability to become

invisible.

#7

LightingandSally - Heheh – so I take it that you’re both? :wink:

KE - Your personality reminds me of my sister a little bit, especially with

the “disappearing” part. Hmm…

#8

I’d say that I’m in the same boat as PV and KE. Although I used to be a

lot more introverted than I am now, but even so I never see myself becoming a huge

introvert. In years past, it used to be that I hardly ever talked unless it related to school, but in high

school I’ve finally started actually hanging around (to some degree) and making jokes and all that good stuff.

Not a whole lot, I’m still enough of a loner to have voted “Introverted” (especially since you

included “Independent” in that, that word applies to me pretty darn well). But I’m slowly becoming

slightly more and more social.

If there were an option for in the middle, though, I probably would have

chosen that. It’s really not a black-and-white, A-or-B sort of thing… Not a whole lot of things are, at

least not with me. :wink:

Edit: I forgot to mention, I still do have that talent

for becoming invisible, as well. If I could actually sing, I would be perfect for

the “Mr. Cellophane” bit of Chicago. :laughing:

#9

That’s it! I’m a total Mr. (well, okay, Ms.) Cellophane, too!

#10

I am both. I am independent at times,

but I am really outgoing as well.

#11

I am introverted but I can also be very loud and social once you get to know me. I don’t like

places with a lot of strangers and I am reallyyy quiet when meeting new people. On the other hand, I love hanging

out with my friends and I can be very crazy at times.

If I am alone in a crowd of strangers, I will not

say a word. If I have a group of friends in a crowd of strangers however, I am so crazy and embarrassingly loud

because I take advantage of the fact that this is the normal me and I am never going to see these strangers again

who are staring at me so strangely.

But I voted introverted. :wink:

#12

Mitch-Yup,sure am. :-D)

#13

DElf - Gosh, I wish I could

mature as fast as you; although, I am unsure as to how old you are, so I guess I can’t really judge – heheh. :wink:

But yeah – I hate my shy personality. It’s absolutely horrible in that it “ruptures” me, so

to speak. For example: say that a certain person (or a group of people) disagree with me on a particular topic of

discussion; then say that I start to mess up in various areas of life (ie., I accidentally break something or

mentally hurt someone). I will immediately become the most sensitive person in the universe, and will jump

whenever someone…stops me in my tracks, so to speak.

Unfortunately, I am in this state right now. I am

absolutely terrified of you all, for some reason. Fortunately, this only happens after I have finished a bout of

prementrual syndrome. Unfortunately, this state of mine lasts for a couple of weeks or more. :unamused:

Oh,

and, by the way: Who is Mr. Cellophane? (snigger)

JamieLew - Interesting – I

am the same in a certain way. I am extremely introverted when around a bunch of people, especially with my peers.

On the other hand, I love to show off at times, and will take advantage of this every once in a while…near a

small group of people. You probably don’t do that, though. :wink:

LightingandSally - Haha – cool. :smiley:

#14

Before, I was an introvert and was really shy of girls. But after finding an outlet, I have

become more of an extrovert.

#15

The Star Swordsman - Hmm…I see. I’m just curious: what was your outlet?

#16

Performing. This included singing, dancing,

acting, stage, film, etc.

#17

Wow – that’s

interesting. I wish I had the guts to do that…

You know what also bugs me? It’s the fact that I never

speak my mind when I really want to; I don’t express myself as much as I should. I feel that I will offend

somebody. :blush:

#18

I feel that way too.

Sometimes, I don’t know what to say, but if I feel comfortable with it, I’ll just be a big talker.

#19

Yeah, me too. It’s such an uncomfortable

feeling…

I’m also one of those people who will bottle up alot of anger until I just…implode. I’ve

been holding in quite a few things for over six years now…and I haven’t exploded. I’m gonna try and keep it

that way. :wink:

How about you? Do you find that you bottle up stuff for a long time?

#20

Not really. I control and channel my anger rather well,

though my extrovert side of me tries to make me loose control.
