Introvert Or Extrovert?

I guess I can be socially anxious/awkward, but I have learnt to hide it better over the years, and the better I hide it, the more comfortable I feel

I think I am probably a bit of both intro and extrovert, I love being out and about and socialising, but I also need my own space (to veg out on Netflix series!).

 

i believe i would be happier, feel safer, more secure, and even more free, were the balance more toward introversion then extroversion.
of course some things i like might not exist if no one were extroverted, but i'm not so sure how many of them i'd miss, or couldn't find some way to get along just fine without.

 

Seems I am more introverted going by this test: Introvert (28%) Sensing (6%) Thinking (3%) Perceiving (56%). Thanks for sharing MeAgain.

 

I am a loner, but can be very social for periods of time....after awhile, I am dieing for my own space again......that is why it works with Stan living here, too. i hardly ever see him even when he is at home.....LOL
I am basically alone with him here....I can call on him if I need help though.

He is in his own world, and so am I.

 

It was drummed into me when I was a kid--"children are to be seen and not heard," when I tried to express myself. In school, I would take an F instead of speaking in front of a class, because of that, I suppose. Boy , have I changed. I can talk to anyone, anywhere now and I actually like getting to know customers. Have to have a good bullshit detector, though and I do.
But I do Spend more time alone these days than out and about.

 

no one enjoys not being a successful extrovert. It's just a matter of how do you do so.

I enjoy my own company. It does not freak me out., but I also like 'trying' & succeeding in social atmospheres too.

I have no clue how "good" or bad I'm doing, but I bet ignorance is biss here. Bitch we all introverts trying to have an extrovert good time.

In reality though we never speak the truth... just a bunch of face-time and canned rules that everyone follows. Kind of LAME. You see the double dissonance and dishonesty in everyone's frucking face,

but hay, I guess you gotta keep everyone comfortable or something. not sure what the name of the game is (actually I am).

I'm extroverted. I love talking to people who are great story tellers, and people who have lots of high energy that I can feed off of to bring my spirits up. Though some people may think I'm introverted because I have a hard time breaking the ice with new people. Overall I find myself to be happier when I'm out with other people I like than I am during "me time."

 

I am a little more complicated...on one hand I prefer a small gathering of friends than attending a big party.
On the other hand I am comfortable, and enjoy speaking to an audience.
I get nervous and irritable in places with large crowds like a theme park, but have no such problems with large, organized crowded places like a theatre or football game. Everybody is where they are supposed to be.

 

I took the test and got ENTP. E(44%) N(31%) T(1%) P(19%). That was interesting.

 

I - 16%, E - 22%, T - 25%, J - 19%

 

I like being on my own most of the time, but I like to have people to touch base with on a daily basis. I gain energy from being around people doing activities, but I'm not into small talk and I don't like loud confining places. So, I have more tendencies toward introversion.

My score was INTP/INFP

 

the notion that happiness somehow requires extroversion, is propaganda nonsense.
quite the contrary, it requires whichever it is your natural inclination to be.
that is why there is so much mental illness in any society that demands of everyone, they play the role of being one or the other.

 

Haha I like this I am "the visionary"!

 

Hello,

that doesn't add up to 100% .

happily and proudly introverted.

and i'd rather live in a world of lazy, introverted, cowards,

then one which romatacizes and rewards aggressiveness
(to which there are not enough adjictives in the 23 volume oxford english dictionary sufficient to emphasis just how offensives aggressiveness in all its forms, really is)

introverts are of course neither lazy, any more cowardly, then extroverts, nor is introversion any less inhierently happy.

it is however, what we are told all the time, because it suits a dominant political agenda, that of corporate feudalism, to have a populas that believes it to be the case.

in a natural and healthy world, there are as many of one as the other, and neither would have to pass as the other to get by.

 

for an introvert, you sure do a lot of talking....LOL

sorry, themnax...i am just being funny.....

 

of course, that's fine. the anonymity of the internet loosens my mechanical (keyboard) tongue.
nobody is going to reach through my modem and some big fist come bursting out of my monitor screen.

of line, i draw as little attention as possible, to the fact i even exist.

on line i feel safer to talk about issues, in the hope of people not taking them personally (and considerably less cause for concern, in case that they do).

 

I used to feel that way, too...am not too sure about that anymore.....fists do come through!
