Well, I've worked in politics since the late 1980s, and before that was a pretty active writer in both high school and college. Also, I seem to have a lot of friends.
Introverts, at least stereotypically, keep to themselves and an introverted politician is the classic definition of an oxymoron. So, add it all up - and I really only scratched the surface - and I guess you'd have to say I am an extrovert.
The funny part being that I don't think of myself that way. I enjoy my "alone time," and am an inveterate reader. (When I moved a few years ago, the movers estimated the weight of my book collection at just over 2 tons. See also "book worm.")
Yet, put me in a room with people - even complete strangers - and I am the one going around introducing myself. Making chit chat and cracking jokes. (I am told - and I have actually been told this - that I have a great wit,)
So, as with most people, I am a bit of both - introvert and extrovert. However, to the extent that others are better judges of the image we project than we are of ourselves, on balance, I have to vote extrovert.
At least that is what I would say if I were not so shy. (See also sense of humor, above.)
ambivert it is then
lol.
I'm an introvert. I'm not very good around people and my social anxiety is so bad, I make other people nervous. The Myers-Briggs test says I'm 'The Healer' personality, and I learned a lot about introverts and not trusting others once other people give a reason not to trust.
There are times when I can't stand other people. If I disappeared off the face of the earth, no one would know. That's how often I'm around others!
A lot of people call themselves introverts but they still socialize and have friends. If introverts do the friendship thing, they usually don't hang out with their friends for days, maybe even weeks. Someone wanting to socialize is not an introvert. Myself, I think other people are a waste of time and are just additional obstacles!
I dont think I fit into neither purely. Maybe per definition more into the introvert part but seeing me with friends or at parties people assume the opposite and I can totally understand why.
So I do like some parties going out with friends, I do like getting to know people and I wouldn't call myself shy with people. That all would speak for being in extrovert but on the other hand this is all tiring for me. Tiring a way like sport is, you can do it for fun but you won't have more energy after than before.
I get my energy by being alone or with a partner. I need to recharge by inner social battery by being quite and alone.
so maybe ambivert which i learned about when i made this post 🤔
I live a quiet life, am fairly brainy and outdoorsy. But I don't go to groups of people to recharge as typical extros do. I need peace and quiet to recharge. I CAN put in a public show; be life of party. But after the party, I'd need quiet time. And parties need to be few and far between. So, I'm a blend of both.
from I've been told i think thats called an ambivert
Yep. That is what it's called.

Introvert. I'm super quiet and shy
i remember apples 🙂🍎
@KrakenAttackin out of those things I only have piercings haha
@KrakenAttackin have you ever seen a pic of me? Cause maybe you are thinking of someone else
Introvert, though I am able to be an ambivert if need be-
(Ambivert- extroverted and introverted, depending on one's company and situation).
I definitely am more introverted though; give me my peace and quiet over talking to people all the time. Extroverts literally drain me of my energy!
how can you be an introvert and still be chatty 😂
I’m an extrovert because I feel more energetic when I’m socialising and around people. Another big giveaway is I think by talking to others about it.
However I’d say I’m a selective extrovert. I don’t like to socialise with annoying people lol.
no i think you are a normal extrovert, no one likes talking to annoying people 😂
Haha okay! Some people think means being an extrovert means we talk to everyone I guess. Definitely not the case! But I look forward to and love social occasions and meeting new people :D
i guess what you described is an extrovert, someone that has no form of problems when socializing or that likes it, it opens doors dont it? 😆
Yes exactly! And yeah I guess good and bad lol
bad how? 🤔
Because sometimes you can get lost with the long crowd if you’re not actively aware
true, but you seem like you know whats up tho so you seem aware but you're right
Thanks!
Actually i can be both. I fit in with anyone but my brother is an introvert and he is always home and have to literally drag him to go out it gets annoying sometimes like bro let’s go out you getting pale as fuck
lmaoo homie changing colors from lack of sunlight, for an introvert there's nothing for them outside 😂
Introvert, mostly. I just like keeping to my own routine and a limited close circle. ✌🏻👍🏻☮️😋
it does make life easier that way
Mmm hmmmm 👍✌🏻
Social butterfly for sure. But recently, I’ve been feeling like a caterpillar. Reclusive.
well the best thing about caterpillars is that they eventually turn to butterflies 😂
A vicious cycle 😅
indeed but thats good tho cause you can do both lol
When I joined GaG, I was complete introvert. I'm a bit above that now.
you have found confidence, thats good indeed 🙂🙏
Yes, still working on improving it.
foreal tho you gonna ger there, you keep pushing for it 💯💯
Yeah!
Extrovert, but discret. U see, talking with guys about women į fucked in the past doesn't turn me on, neither motivate to fu k them more, its a misery, stupid, and its likę talking shit while u drunk, and inn the morninng u you are Sorry for everythinng u said.
Introvert.
I'm guessing that having terrible parents, (for one, it led me to stay skeptical/have trust issues about everyone) as well as being autistic (having Asperger's, to be specific) contributes to that.
I can be both depending on the situation.
fair enough
I was an introvert when I was younger, but now I’m an extrovert
how did you change?
When I started working at different places and forced to interact with strangers at every stop or jobsite start to get over being shy or close then when you open up and talk to people, you don’t know they are more friendlier than you realize
yep people can be friendly, others can be annoying, dumb etc 😂
Well, that’s the risk we take
I'm a mix of both. 60% extroverted and 40 intro. Kinda wild the names though.. One would figure introverted would be more outgoing since it starts with intro! Extro sounds like you're trying to get the fuck out of conversation.
I'd imagine most people on this site are introverts.
fair enough lol
I'm very sociable & outgoing.
extrovert it is lol
Introvert. That battery drains QUICK.
ehich battery drains quick, your introvert battery? 🤔
Being an "extrovert" is a privilege.
no cap bro 😂
A bit of both actually
interesting, how does that work lol
seems pretty normal, you sounds like an extrovert to me
ambivert
a definition wouldve been pretty cool, i put the word othher cause i didn't know any other verts 😂
other*
fair enough
Quite the introvert
you seemed like the complete opposite to me
Good to see I have some people fooled :)
But there are different kinds of introverts.
how dare you fool people with your deceitful extrovert emojis 😂
I'll tone it down a bit with the emojis
nah dont do that i was joking, i like the way you express yourself with emojis, continue using your emojis please 😂
It's only sarcasm
oh..
Definitely extrovert.
Ambivert af
no idea what that is but im assuming its a mix of both?
I'd say I'm both
Extrovert
