A Day In The Life of An Extroverted Introvert


I took the personality test quite a few times and I've always come out as an ISFJ. I relate to most of the introversion side of all the above charts. I am an introvert. But not your typical introvert. Here's why:


I actually like doing some social things.


I don't mind going out with friends. I like things like going out for drinks or seeing a movie in a group setting. It's just that after about an hour of it, I get overwhelmed. It drains me.


I'm quiet, but it's not always because I don't want to talk.


I'm naturally a quiet person. I always have been. I am very capable of holding a conversation, but I'm a listener. An observer. And I don't like speaking in front of a lot of people. I'll totally talk when it's one on one or with a few people. My friends will tell you that. But most times that I'm quiet, it's because I'm absorbing.


I appreciate my solitude (it's NECESSARY), but I get lonely too.


This is a tricky one. I absolutely love and value my solitude. I thrive when I'm alone. I'm most comfortable when I'm by myself. I can be me. But, there are times when I just want the presence of someone else. Not even necessarily for the conversation or physical aspect. Just to be there. Being able to sit in a comfortable silence with someone something I cherish.


I dislike being in the spotlight, but I often feel slighted/underappreciated.


I don't like being the center of attention. I play the background. Seen but seldom heard. I like to feel appreciated, but I don't like for a big deal to made out of it. If that makes sense.


Deep conversations are welcomed, small talk is not.


Small talk makes me uncomfortable. I'm not really quick on my feet when it comes to speaking. I like to think my responses out. That's why I like writing more than speaking. With small talk, it's never about anything important.


Not a party animal, but not a wallflower.


My friends are party animals. They're always trying to get me to come out. Most times I find a reason to bail, but when I do go out, I have a blast! I love music and dancing, so I always have a good time. It's just getting in the right mindset to go.


I'm big on communication, just not VERBAL communication.


I'm a writer. I express myself best that way. Which is why I prefer texting to having an actual phone conversation. A lot of people take that as me not wanting to talk to them. Not the case. I'll totally talk to you all day though text messages/emails. I actually don't mind that at all. But mention calling and I'll clam up.



All in all, I consider myself an introvert. I'm most comfortable curled up at home in bed with a book. But I don't enjoy being social as well. Just not everyday. And not for long periods of time. Else I get anxiety. I like being around others when I don't have to personally interact with them. I have no problem going to a Starbucks to do some writing. Or going to Barnes and Noble to read. Why? Because I can be somewhere that's social but not have to socialize, and not get weird looks because I'm not socializing.


Anywho, thanks for reading. As always, stay classy GaGers. See you guys on the threads!
