I am a introvert but don't mind some social interaction. I did attend a wedding and a funeral recently but I turned down an invitation to a family event because I know I would rather be home on my computer or catching up with some Netflix. Sometimes I just don't feel social, I don't feel like talking on the phone either. Anyone else this way?
-
I have taken Meyers Briggs and it said I'm an introvert, but I find it hard to believe because I talk to everyone.
I don't like crowds but I love talking to people.
:fish:

defintely an introvert...rather stay to myself
-
Yes, but I don't feel that technology is at all more important than friends and relatives are. Do you think you need help with your behavior?
-
Definitely an introvert. I'd rather keep to myself and do my own thing. I do have a lot of acquaintances but no close friends that I go out with.
-
Me and my daughter are the same way, we don't like having to deal with a lot of people, we go to church, but to all family functions, some aren't as exciting. Being home and away from people suits us just fine. If we see you, then ok, but if not, then so be it. We as far as being a social type person, it all depends.

My girlfriend tells me that I am lol. Opposites attract I guess because she's very outgoing.

I am an introvert. If I recall correctly, I'm ISFP on the Myers-Briggs test. I can do social gatherings, but it's EXHAUSTING for me. I do like to spend time by myself. I'm not a small talk kind of person. I noticed at work during meetings, if the speaker is long-winded and not straight to the point, I often unintentionally tune the speaker out. Or when a co-worker comes to me with a long explanation about a request when all they needed to say was "Can you do X for me?", it's frustrating. I don't know if that's a trait of introversion or if that's just a "me" thing. :silly:

When I was a kid, I was a serious introvert. I had very few friends, and I preferred to spend the day in my room rather than socializing with other people. Then when I turned 17, for some unknown reason I became very social, had tons of friends, and was the life of the party. This went on even in adulthood. I always had many friends and spent time with them. And then, again, for some unknown reason, I changed again when I got into my 50s. Now I don't like to leave my house and really only spend time with my husband and two college-age sons. I wonder if I'll change again in my 90s, LOL!
-
No, quite the opposite. I love meeting and talking to new people. I picked that trait up from my dad. I do, however, dislike public speaking in front of large groups. Small groups (10 or less) is just fine.
-
Not really. I love meeting new people and I am very talkative. However, I am claustrophobic and do not like to be in a crowd or in a small room.
-
Technically yes, and generally I prefer alone time, but I also enjoy people and have become a lot more comfortable in social settings....
-
I am a cross between an introvert and agoraphobic and a hermit. When I was young I considered myself outgoing but I now stay inside my house unless I absolutely have to go out like dr's appts. very rarely I will go out to eat with my youngest son or my sister & brother in law but most of the time I find an excuse to cancel
-
Introverted love to be alone. Have books pc and tv to keep me happy. I'm in a wheelchair so there's that.. would like to not be but am. Feel sorry for people who are young and used to moving as they want.
-
I'm an introvert, but I don't mind being social.
-
I would say that I am an introvert. I like people and I enjoy being around them. But I always look forward to going home. And I like to be alone.
-
Yes I am. I still like to be with people, like my family and coworkers. I feel like friends are overrated. I try to keep one or two of them. All in all I prefer me time.

Sounds like me too, I'm not alone!
-

No I don't think I need help with my behavior, I just go where I want to go. Depends whos going to be there too..

Yes, I definitely understand you, It depends on where I'm being invited to.
-
Yes.
-
No, I like being around people. My husband is an introvert.
-

Me too. Especially as of late. Its much more freeing.
-
Definitely an introvert. I could, easily, just be by myself at home and become a hermit.
-
Yes I would consider myself to be one.
-
I am an introvert that is sometimes forced to operate as an extrovert because of job positions.
-
I'm more of an ambivert (in the middle of the spectrum) that leans more toward introversion. I enjoy being around people but I also need my quiet, alone time to recharge. I enjoy socializing but find small talk exhausting.

The common misconception about introvert vs extrovert is that they are determined by how much you enjoy talking to people. That actually isn't true. They are more about where you get your energy from and how you process information. Introverts get energy from alone time and process information in their own heads. Extroverts get energy from other people and prefer to process information by talking with someone else.
-
I used to be social, but now its so much easier alone.
-
I used to be really bad, did not want to be around many people. But over the years I have learned to handle people on a one on one basis, But if they start to crowd me, I start pull away from them. I will even leave them standing for a few moments to run outside and collect myself. Most at the Ministry are ok with it. they have gotten to know my quirks . Even my boss is very understanding about it. Most times I have someone I can call to take over for a little bit. I wish I could get over it but now at 76 I guess I am not going to.
-
I am a major introvert. I love to be alone most of the time and am slightly uncomfortable being in large groups of people.
-
I am somewhat of an extrovert. I enjoy talking to new people and generally pair up with the quietest person at a party in order to make them feel more comfortable. I have no problem going into a meeting with ten people that I do not know (as long as I have had ample time to prepare or am well versed on my subject). I use to be afraid of speaking in larger groups (twenty five or more) so I entered a speech contest that was supposed to have five judges and less than one hundred people. It ended up having over five hundred people. My speech was well prepared, well delivered and I came in second place although I do not recall speaking in front of the crowd. I had practiced enough so that the speech was delivered easily. I even asked questions, answered them satisfactorily but still do not recall speaking.
-
I am introverted so I have to pretend to be social in real life.
-
I'm definitely an introvert - to the extent that I need to live alone. Sometimes I enjoy a little bit of social interaction but I always love going back home where I can experience some solitude and inner peace.
-
I am neither. I know a woman who says she is introvert. Basically she is an attention hog. Back when I did Facebook she posted one day about how she needed to disconnect and everyone to please understand and she was going off FB for a while and blah blah. It was not 30 minutes til she posted I'M BACK!
smh. Then turn it off for 30 minutes. Nobody cares.
-
I call myself a "flexovert." That means that depending on my mood, the event, the people, and how long I have spent time to myself, I can be an extrovert. I have been told by people, at different times, that I am an introvert or an extrovert, but those are people who have seen me in only a few situations for a short time. I guess I would have to say I am more an introvert than anything as I increasingly enjoy my own company and have to have time to myself!
-
I can be either an introvert or an extrovert, depending on the situation.
-
I'm a huge introvert.
-
In some situations I am; generally if I am in an unfamiliar setting I may be an introvert until I become more comfortable with the setting or the people.
