Would you say you’re more of an extrovert or introvert?

    People always assume I’m an extrovert because I’m very bubbly and friendly but I actually struggle really badly in social situations and even have social anxiety. My comfort zone is definitely alone in my room snuggled on my bed

    @jackie_dunny my H is like that, he's definitely an introvert but reads extrovert. I'm just a straight extrovert. That said, pregnancy last time really gave me an appreciation for just hanging out inside and reading. I was huge and it was very icy out so I wasn't encouraged to go anywhere. I now see the appeal :)

    I'm probably a combo of both.  My baseline is definitely introvert but when I'm with my core group of people my personality gets a lot bigger. I'm like 80/20 🤣

    I honestly thought I was an extrovert because I get bored easily but I'm only extroverted with people I know! So turns out I'm an introverted extrovert :smile:

    Introvert. Introvert. Introvert. I've taken multiple Myers Briggs personality tests and there's no consensus on those last 3 letters but that "I" is solid. I can be social and have my circle of good friends but I don't like hanging around people I don't know well, hate small talk, and find big social situations to be really tiring. I crave daily alone time to recharge.

     I consider my self an extroverted introvert. In groups of people that I know and feel comfortable with I definitely have a bigger personality, and I like going and hanging out and doing things, but too much social interaction makes me exhausted. My "recharge" time is definitely by myself. At my job I'm talking to patients all day, and at the beginning of our relationship I had to explain to my husband that I wasn't trying to be rude, but I just needed like an hour to recharge and not talk about my day at all lol. It took him awhile to realize that and not get butt hurt when I didn't want to talk as soon as I got home.

    I am an extrovert, but it took me years to really understand that because I am VERY shy and I have social anxiety, but as therapy helped with the latter I saw how energizing and amazing it is for me to be around people.

    @RoseShadow873 THIS 😂

    I’m an introvert. You can tell by my birthday and Mother’s Day Gift request EVERY SINGLE YEAR: a day, completely alone, in my bed with books and TV. Bring me food, but then leave.

    @sliztee yes! But how do you tell those sweet little cherubs that all you want is to be left the hell alone? 😂

    I would probably be similar to @chartput. I'm pretty extroverted and enjoy talking and meeting new people but I am definitely a homebody.  My friends always want to make plans but I would much rather prefer to hang out a home vs dinner parties or whatever.

    I'm a lazy extrovert (if that's a thing), my default is to be home or working, but bring me somewhere and I blossom 🌸

    I'm definitely an introvert that is only an extrovert when I have to be or around familiar people... sounds like that's quiet a few of us!

    I'm a strange introvert though all my jobs have been ones where I have to constantly interact with the public (receptionist, bartender, athletic trainer and now nurse). I found through school about the 5 dynamics and found that having to make connections is stressful for me, my followup questions are lacking. I enjoy talking to coworkers at work but new people idk how to end a conversation (is that an alarm I hear?)
    It's funny because when I was younger I was loud and in my own little world with friends and then I got real self conscious. Growing up is tough :)

    Is it possible to be an introvert that needs socialization? Lol

    I have so much social anxiety. I don’t want to come across as nosy, but I also don’t want to seem disinterested and self absorbed. It’s an exhausting tightrope. I also need alone time every day. But, if I do get the opportunity to socialize I’m in such a better mood and feel recharged. It’s very strange.

    @doodleoodle Yes it's definitely possible and probably normal! Introverts still need friends and social interaction sometimes!
