general Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

[Vefka 1,499]

First, Introvert is not necessarily a shy person and vice versa, extravert is not necessarily outgoing party person. Introverts enjoy time alone and get emotionally drained after spending a lot of time with others. Extravers enjoy time spent with other people and find hard to entertain themselves alone

I'm almost completely an introvert, I don't need people around me, I have a very small circle of good friends, during hard times I'm better coping with it alone without support (and don't really know how to support others) and I'm fine without friends (like I don't need them texting me every day). I noticed those little details in contrast with my friend, at first glance she's introverted and shy too. But she told me that she loves meeting new people, supporting them and be part of their lives. When she's alone she feels depressed, betrayed and shallow. So in fact she's an extravert despite her being shy

Now I'm interested what type of person are you?

I did a personality test and had 100% introvert really though think of myself more of an ambivert. Mostly I prefer to have fewer good friends and generally spend time alone but I also get along very nicely with groups of people so an ambivert I think so.

[ExplosionMare 18,092]

I’m definitely an introvert cause spending time with people too long drains me.

Also, thank you for providing the correct definitions for introverts and extroverts cause most people go with either “you’re shy or you’re super talkative” and don’t realize there can be an in-between.

[AppleButt 8,676]

I’m not sure.  I think I’m more so shy I guess as I notice there’s times where I’m in a crowd wishing I could get myself to go talk to people, but I can’t because I’m shy. 
 

Im not extroverted by any means, but I don’t feel like I’m introverted either.  Crowds don’t drain me. 

[Misty Shadow 7,975]

Definite introvert. I talk to a lot more people and have more friends than I used to in the past, but it's just ingrained in my personality to be shy. 

[Cagey 4,248]

I’m an introvert. I like hanging out with people, but I need time alone to recharge. 

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,585]

I'm definitely an introvert. It sucks as it does make it hard for me to meet new people in person.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,990]

I'm a Lazy ambivert lol

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'm an introvert when meeting new people, but as soon as I get to know you, I'm very extroverted.

[Magic Note 2,750]

I'm definitely an introvert.

[They call me Loyalty 1,949]

There is no problem when interacting with people, as long as they are well balanced individuals. But I do value solitude over social interactions. There is no point in being connected with others, if you are disconnected from yourself.

I disappear from the lives of my friends once this connection with my being is realized through meditation. The illusion of separation that is product of the human ego is dispelled, as it is the need to interact with others. Whenever I feel incomplete, or start to look for wholeness outside my being. The connection with my being has been lost.

The world and ways of the social complex seem intent on disconnecting the collective from itself by the use of third density illusions created by the ignorance of the very collective. This is the reason why I value solitude and meditation so much. To isolate myself from the harmful element that is the very nature of lower third density functioning collective.

Others may complain for my absence because of their incapacity to perceive beyond the self, since their consciousness is stuck in lower third density. They are disconnected from themselves, and so they try to use my physical presence to not "feel" alone. This is a disservice to the nature of our being. For they neglect the nature of the soul. Our intrinsic connection with all things.

The existence of the "virus" may help the collective to re-connect.

I very much value my alone time, and I have plenty of things that keep me busy and make me happy when I'm in solitude.

That said, I'm definitely an extrovert. I always gain energy when I'm with others, and I value and cherish memories made with others very dearly, although I don't necessarily get tired of being by myself. It's also part of what makes me value places like this! Getting to know you all and having a good time here is wonderful, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!

[Fluttershutter 2,581]

All the cool kids are introverts. 

 

 

 

 

 

And surprisingly I am too. 

[Sonic Shimmer 4,134]

Introvert, although I'm definitely more outgoing than I was when I was younger.

[RaraLover 10,417]

I'm definitely an introvert. Though, I think back in primary school, I was a little more extroverted.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,358]

I'm an introvert in the sense that I like time alone to recharge and I'm quiet, but I love being around people too. Everyone has a story to tell and I love listening to people's experiences and what kinds of lessons they've learned throughout life.

If anything this pandemic has made me realize how much I enjoy being around people and I've been taking steps to be more social again, whether that's approaching people at work or reconnecting with old friends. I've started saying "yes" to anything someone wants to include me in and overall I think it's helped me feel much better these days 

[Sae 33]

i'm extremely introverted and have pretty bad trust issues

[The Historian 516]

Introvert. If I want to be social, I will be. Most of the time, I don't want to be.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I'm introverted for the most part. I enjoy the social activities of hanging out at the fencing or krav maga club, but beyond that I prefer to be at home.

[EpicEnergy 23,227]

I'm an introvert, as all of the personality tests I take have me as an introvert and since I get tired when I spend too much time with a lot of people and I regain energy by being alone.

[Clawdeen 15,640]

Technically an extrovert going by my results I’ve gotten. That being said how much of my personality you get to see depends on who I’m surrounded by. Sometimes I do get overwhelmed.

[Cash In 22,631]

Always been an introvert. I'm slightly more outgoing than I was a couple of years ago, but I'm generally not the most social person around.

[ohne 408]

introvert. Don't get me wrong, I love to hang out with my close friends but sometimes I just really don't feel like going outside and talking to other people, I even cancel plans (not last minute tho) bcs my mind changes so quickly, Like i'd make a plan with someone for tomorrow and I'd be excited but when tomorrow comes, I really don't feel like going anywhere. It's def. something I've been working on a lot these days 

[Izaac 5]

somewhere in-between i think

[Astralshy 27,790]

By nature I'm very introverted, but I can go out of my comfort zone if I want :3
