Do you tend to be more of an introvert or extrovert?

Question

Whenever I venture out in public, I realise just how annoying people can be. Don't get me wrong, the people in my bubble are very special... but beyond that, I seriously hate people😂

Give me animals over humans anyday🙃

It depends on the situation. I think I'm an ambivert. In high pressure situations like meeting people in a group, mixing different I tend to spaz out and have learnt to stay quiet. I am very different depending on who I hang out with a chameleon (chamaleon for my more cultured people) if you will. I can be quiet, serious, loud, weird, more touchy or standoffish. Its hard to be all my personalities at once and I just breakdown into nothing. I especially keep quiet when I'm being introduced to mutual friends because I understand my actions reflect on them.

Whereas, if i'm alone I can approach someone and start talking. I tend to wave and smile. If i have the wrong person I don't beat myself up I just laugh it off and don't give it a second thought.

For example I went on a campus tour the other day. No phone no idea what I was doing so I approached a girl and asked for directions. It turned out she was on the same tour as me and we talked the whole time. I asked for her number and social media to keep in touch afterwards and suggested a spur of the moment breakfast. It was amazing and after such a long time in lockdown and being surrounded by people I've known since I was 5 it was refreshing to meet someone new.

Very introverted. My tolerance for people is low, especially if they talk too much.

Now due to my job, I'm forced to be an ambivert in social and work settings. So if you didn't know me, you'd assume I'm an extrovert. However, I just know how to put on a facade when need be; you do what you have to do to pay the bills, lol.

But otherwise, unless I know a person (s), I mostly keep to myself and rather not talk much at all.

Also, animals are so much better to be around than most people... sorry if you disagree, but it's true.

I'm weird.

I'm kind of in the mix.

I'm that cool guy that's quiet at first, kind of reads the room, and breaks the ice with a topic.

Sometimes I don't talk, because I haven't much to discuss.

Sometimes I talk a lot, out of nervousness, or maybe boredom.

I'm not a follower though as much as I'm a leader, I don't let other peoples ideas influence me too much without comparing both perspectives. I'll still consider the others perspective though, because I'm not a stubborn person. But it's okay to disagree and accept each other's differences.

But sometimes I like interacting and sometimes I don't.

I'm also somebody who is still trying to defeat my social anxiety, so large crowds I'm an introvert in, because of PTSD I think. Too hard to read a room with 100 people in it.

I am extrovert, however yes I naturally hate people.

it is really a test of commitment to put up enough with me and join our social group lol.

I am naturally ‘not quiet’ as it goes hand in hand with being a Geordie, I don’t think many of us come with volume buttons.

yes that means you get the dislike, like thing lol.

You also get those that make the assumption they are your friend… which can be funny at times.

JustinTimberlegs · Answer

I definitely find being around people draining, even if I'm not interacting with them and even if they are close family members that I get along with.

It can seem like I don't like them but I legit feel physically fatigued and just want to take a nap.

Which also sucks because I'm terribly lonely and crave meaningful connection at the same time.

DoubleOSeven · Answer

I was a huge introvert when I was kid or in my puberty. But around my 16 or 17 I started to be more extrovert and I get a lot of friends. Now I can say that I am something between, maybe more extrovert than introvert. But of course, sometimes I like having time to be alone.

Moimaris · Answer

I’m an introvert. Sometimes it’s hard to be like that because people often get the wrong impression of me and never get to really know me. They judge on how I look and how quiet I am. Often seen as arrogant.

LonelyDeviant · Answer

I believe I'm an Introverted extrovert
Shutdown time with the animals is roughly a 3 day cycle. Easy enough for myself. But careful not to TOO DEEP 🙄
.. I'm a construction supervisor , and find I don't really like people. I'm single no children never married and guess I've become intolerant to fake peeps..
The trick is not to stand out on the low days.. different can spook the herd.
Also find keeping the fluids 🍻 up certainly helps when entertaining the masses.. ENTER Mr. Hyde 💥
Even those close to me don't know the real struggle in my headspace. Lucky I like my own company. It's funny how animals are not tainted with the faults of pretenders and users that make up majority of day to day life.
Rock on

Smashingdoozy · Answer

I'm an Ambivert. Very mood and situation dependant. If I'm high I will talk anyones ear off and be as bubbly as I am around those I am most comfortable with. Most of the time I keep my head down and don't talk much around unfamiliar people. Sometimes if I'm in a really good mood (not just high) I can have the courage to be extroverted.

HawkPerception · Answer

Almost every time I take the Myers Briggs personality test, I get INTP, but I'm always just very slightly more introverted than extroverted, like 1-3% more.

I think this is because I don't have any problems socializing, but avoid it for the most part of my life.

Gatorademebiatch · Answer

I have found myself agreeing in the past but it’s all about surrounding yourself with the people you trust as much as you can so you can filter out the a-holes! Xx

Question_091 · Answer

I'm more Introverted. I'll put in effort to be more social In public, but when it's one on one, discussing something I don't care for, or am insecure about, I space out of the present moment.

But talk about a subject that interest me, you won't ever get me to shut up 😅

Andres77 · Answer

I'm an introvert but I had to adjust.
Public speaking is no longer a fear of mine and now I've done so many things and had so many adventures that I enjoy telling my stories.
But if I don't have to... I'd stay in my house naked and never leave... until it's time for another adventure.
Oh... being a Dad also means I can't do what I want. It's a constant struggle.

ohshee · Answer

Love you just read my mind your answer is my answer. I joke about that all the time. I am an introvert but due to what I do. I have to be an extrovert, so I have to learn how to master both of them. The best way to master both of them is to say exactly what you just said I laugh about it. That is so true but I deal with it and make it work.

I_want_a_moustache · Answer

80% extrovert and 20% introvert. I really love being around people but at the same time I hate it because loud noises or talking to too many people at once makes me shut down. On one hand I can sing in front of large or small groups and on the other hand public speaking makes me feel like crying.

electromagnetic · Answer

I’m a people person. A complete extravert. Covid has put a buttoner on it and I’m quite grateful. Over the year, I realized I value a lot of alone time and not actually engaging in conversation with other unless necessary.

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

A little bit of both, i can be in a large group of people and having fun and i can have as much fun with one person or two. I agree with you on some people that are dumb AF but at the same time i can shut them down so they can leave me alone.

IAMNathanael · Answer

Definitely introverted. I'd rather stay in the sidelines than be the center of attention. I just burn out way way too quick in social events, usually the first to leave if I'm even there at all.

MinTae · Answer

I'm an ambivert, yes that's a real thing. It's when you feel like you don't quite fit the label of 'introvert/extrovert', but kinda fit both. I like to be surrounded by people, but mostly after a while I just want to be alone again. I like talking to my inner friend group, but talking to other people can be difficult/ annoying.

ToastyOats · Answer

I'm going to make this really simple for you. A handheld calculator cannot be hacked or preprogrammed. In the same way, animals have simple intelligence that is resistant to corruption. The human mind is capable of a lot, that is its advantage as well as its deficit. Its like this, humans brains are a shag rug... You can fit a lot more dust and crap down in the thatch... Comfy but more care is needed. Most people do not take the responsibilities for their greater capabilities or can become loaded down with mental viruses as children. The Persian poet Rumi beautifully expressed this idea by saying: in some people's home I wipe my feet as I'm leaving. Be someone who everyone must take their shoes off at the door and accept no exceptions! You can help us all be better by your choices, in friends and lovers.
