Were you extroverted or introverted as a child?

[Reecejackox 400]

I was an introvert as a child , wasn't really interested in being friends with everyone 

[Splashee 28,564]

I was extroverted. I was making noise, playing in public, screaming, and not caring what other people thought. As long as I had a friend of family with me that is.

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

As a kid I was actually pretty extroverted. I didn't care what anyone thought, I just wanted to talk to my friends and have fun. I think that started changing around seventh grade, and late sophomore year of high school was when it really turned around and I became extremely introverted.

[Cash In 22,380]

Even as a child, I've always been pretty introverted. Back then, I was even more socially awkward then I am now. It was until I was 14 or 15 when I started to break out of my shell a little.

[Oleks 1,993]

Is it even possible to switch form extraversion to introversion or vice versa? I've always been an introvert, even though when I was a kid I used to communicate with people more often. Although a lot of people consider introversion a character flaw, I don't what to chage this trait, and I don't think I even can do it.

I still scream and make noise in public 

 

As for my answer to the prompt, I’d say I was pretty extroverted. I loved finding other people I could be friends with and I always talked people’s ears off, especially my parents’. I didn’t have the insecurities I do now so that’s probably part of it.

I was introverted as child, and I've remained introverted for my whole life so far.

[baba_booey 4,303]

I was extremely introverted growing up... and still am.

[AppleButt 8,675]

I wasn’t very extroverted as a kid but I was more so than I am now.  

[Lucky Bolt 35,064]

I was really shy and quiet as a kid. I have become the opposite as I've gotten older. 

[TotallyNotNyx 15,566]

Always been shy, quiet and boring lollll

[SparklingSquirrels 21,345]

I was very introverted as a child and very shy too. My parents didn't really have me play with other kids when I was really little (there were no other kids in our neighborhood) so by the time I got to school I didn't really know how to interact with others. I remember always trying to hide during recess...

[Sphinx-Ara 3,569]

Introverted and still am pretty much

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

Introverted though obviously still an introvert. Never really been one for seeking out other peoples attention however I was told and shown on video that I was very hyper and extroverted as a child. Like I literally yelled then walked to a girl and kissed her on her lips I don't know why I did that. Yet then again if I had kept that enthusiasm I would be more popular with women or being so introverted I simply am oblivious to it.

I've also always been an introvert, but I was also extremely shy when I was young. The shyness faded away over the years and the introversion stood. I tried to be different, just to make the experience and...I didn't enjoy it at all. It's always a good thing to try different things out, to learn more about the world and yourself.

I like and support your mindset, you really shouldn't change your true nature. If you are happy the way you are, then there is absolutely no reason to.

[The Historian 516]

Introverted then, introverted now. I have never been the most social person, nor do I really desire that.

[Savy 5,079]

Introverted. Still am lmao.

I'm very shy, awkward, and weird but like, gimme a chance to get to know you and that'll change. 

[Longhaul 6,877]

I was fairly extroverted as a child, but over the years I slowly drew inside.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I was always outgoing with others my age, but shy with adults.

[lanternfrillsie 15]

I never really had friends when I was younger, so I was pretty introverted around others at some point 

except there was this short ‘era’ in which I did go feral extroverted... we don’t talk about that 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,617]

I've been an introvert my entire life. The only way I was able to really make any friends is if someone talked to me first. In terms of offline interaction, I have a sort of innate anxiety when it comes to any kind of social interaction with someone I don't know. As such I tend to avoid most interaction like that. That's how I've always been. I vividly remember my first day of kindergarten. I pretty much isolated myself and spoke to no one. Others had to talk to me first and even then I was awkward and stilted. That really hasn't changed much all these years later.

I was introverted around strangers when I was little, but outgoing and extroverted among my own family. Now I'm outgoing and extroverted among strangers, so I guess I've finally mastered the art of annoying everyone.

You’re not annoying.
