Introvert or extrovert?

[TwilyTastic 88]

Introvert. I have a hard time talking to other people, but I am really trying to improve that recently and I think it is going well even though I get really nervous sometimes.

[Odyssey 5,716]

It's funny to say, as introverted doesn't actually mean shy and submissive. Nor does extroverted mean lively. Both of them have to do with how much thoughts you share with others.

 

In this case, I would definitely call myself an introvert. I do like being around people, but I'm always hesitant with sharing some things with other people. I've seen a lot in my life, but only do I get to share it with the closest of friends.

I'm an introvert with some extrovertive properties.

 

I love spending time alone. Being able to chill out and not having to interact with other people is awesome. I have a small group of friends that I enjoy talking with, despite not being able to see them/talk to them at all over the summer (one exception, but he's moving in ~2 weeks) so I use forums or get into projects with others over the internet for social stuff. I do enjoy going out but I prefer doing it by myself since having to listen to other people while I'm trying to enjoy myself is a bit of a pain. Places with tons of people in a tiny space tend to get me a bit anxious, but if it's just a couple of people I'm fine with it. I've never gone up to a complete stranger to try and become friends. Come to think of it, all of my friends have come to me. :T

don't get me all wrong. i have a messed-up personality. one day i'd be talkative. but the next day i become quiet

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

Again, i feel like these Topic existed before in some way and i actually have answered this already...but, i got nothing better to do.

 

Im an introvert. Im shy and socially awkward, even to Bronys sometimes, get easily in Panic in stressful real life Situations, dont have any real life friends and talk almost never, if im not asked.

So...yeah, pretty much introvert.

I'm in the middle. I like to make jokes and make people laugh and stuff, but I lean more on the introvert side, wanting to play video games with the lights off at 12:00 AM. I might try that with Minecraft tonight.

[Member Berry 1,217]

I'm more introvert. I spend a lot of time alone but I like it I have friends and a boyfriend but I need to be alone occasionally. 

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I'm kinda both. When around people, I'm an introvert but by myself or with my cats I'm an extrovert.

[twiia 1,843]

I'm so shy I can't even eat in the lunch room during school. At school I can't even handle being around other classes.

[Dreambiscuit 9,640]

When I'm around people I get extroverted. I don't always go out seeking company, but when I find myself among people I tend to be a bit of a talker. But when I'm alone and focusing on something creative or other work, I retreat into my shell and very little can pry me out. So I guess I go both ways depending on the circumstances.

The I in INTJ means Introvert, therefore...

[n0body555 334]

very introverted. I'm honestly trying my best to be more extroverted but it's a difficult process. Very... difficult -_-

[inactive_user 367]

I'm as introverted as you could get. I'd prefer to stay in my room with my laptop, where it's quiet and peaceful, rather than be in a large crowd with several people talking at once. I wish I could be like Pinkie, but I'm Fluttershy, only about ten times worse.

 

Basically, this sums me up pretty well.

 

​I'm basically a mix of Fluttershy, Twilight and Vinyl Scratch when it comes to personality, a.k.a. from what I can tell, three of pretty much the most introverted ponies in the show for the most part.

[Tryst 6]

Definitely more of an Introvert, but I am currently trying to bring that to a much less extreme. One part of that actually being joining and actually doing things on this Forum! Which is still a bit difficult for me. (After being a member for a year and a half.   )

I'm definately an introvert, I'm very shy and tend not to talk to people much until I get to know them.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I am definitely an introvert.

I feel most comfortable in situations where I can take time to enjoy peace and quiet.

[AriaTheLovely 578]

I'm a huge introvert. I'm usually a pretty quiet person and I like to keep to myself.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,350]

I am highly introverted. I tend to stay reclusive in my room, usually not leaving the house unless I just go on a walk. If I go anywhere, I tend to avoid all eye contact with others. I am not good with crowds of people in stores and such so those always stress me out too. I have always been like this and it actually seems to be more apparent in recent years.

[Pavel 100]

I`m an introvert. Sometimes I act like an extrovert, but it is tedious.

[Guest]

I'm definitely an introvert because I appreciate my own peace rather than being around people. I'm really quiet no matter where I are, but especially when I get involved in group activities. Meeting new people is hard too because I really just don't talk. It doesn't come naturally. I also can't maintain eye contact for more than a bunch of seconds because that stuff feels so distressing. 

While I'm with people that are close friends I tend to feel at ease though.

[chaosprincess 1,067]

I am an ambivert I have qualities of both I can be loud and social, but I hate being in crowds. don't like going to parties and don't like being near people I like to have my quite time away from everything, but I do like making people smile.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

I'm very much an INFP-T; an introvert, for those who don't care to follow the link!

[Blackshirt Brony 415]

I would probably be considered an extrovert because I feel terrible unless I can talk to or interact with other people in some way. When I am not living a sociable lifestyle, I quickly become paranoid or anxious.

[Dash In Black 18]

Introvert. I keep to myself, and am very difficult to befriend as I often resist efforts to do so and stay away from people in general. My anxiety and cautiousness keeps me to myself, but I can also be rather extroverted on the internet in certain places where I just let everything loose. Although I am very generally an introvert. Just because I am one though, doesn't mean I don't like to have fun sometimes and dance and be loud and crazy, which I can be... but only around people I am extremely comfortable with. I avoid large groups, and go quiet in conversations that have more than two people, generally.

Both of these describe me pretty well.  I *can* be social, friendly with total strangers, etc., but I spend a *lot* of time in my room online, reading or gaming.  And Arylett's point about being extroverted is empathizable as well, I swore I would never get a Facebook (still won't), but I've been surprisingly talkative between here and Brony Square.  Personally I think smaller social circles is better - between drama 'friends' and ex-s have shown, I truly think it's better to have fewer people at your services, rather than spend your whole life 'looking over your shoulder'...but then maybe I'm just paranoid. 

[DrakeeSkalor 101]

I'm definitely introverted. Whenever I'm outside in public, I hardly ever talk at all, unless asked a question. Plus, at times, it's hard for me to make eye contact with anyone. 

To be fair to myself, I am trying to be extroverted.   Emphasis on trying.
