What type of person are you? Extrovert (outgoing) or Intovert (homebody)

I am neither an extrovert nor introvert. I am a mixture of both. Actually by nature i am a friendly person and quite outgoing. I have had many friends rght from childhood days to my present status as a retired senior citizens. Having got a crippling disability when young i could not go out very much. However wherever i worked or i was i still made friends and also kept contact with them. Now totally confined to my house and on a wheelchair i can`t go out at all, so i am forced to be alone. Friends have also disappeared or are too busy so most of the time i am all alone.I am now used to being a recluse but my basic nature has remained the same.

...Hi maria1081, I like to think of myself as a hybrid :o). I like people, love to talk about almost any subject, very much into issues that may be a little controversial. On the other side, I love my privacy and doing things by myself with myself. I like my quiet time when I want to be quiet. So I am a multi-faceted strange breed. I also think that a lot of people have different traits leaning toward being an extrovert and possibly a bit of an introvert. Then there are pure extroverts and very pure introverts. Sounds like you and I are somewhat alike. There are many shades in the human race. Take care, have a very Happy New Year.

I am very much of an introvert. If ever there are times when I become extrovert, that would only be when I am with people I am comfortable with. I really love being alone. I am an exclusive type of person so I dont like mingling with people whom I do not know or I am meeting for the first time. I would rather be socializing on the internet than in person. However, when I get to know people, it's when I start to open up and be somewhat outgoing. Maybe it's because it's hard for m to trust people and I am not much into attention. I would most of the time shy away from people and wish I were invisible..That's me..I tried changing it but it gets harder and harder to change when I get older..

Hi maria1081. I believe we have something in common. My personality is also a combination of being an introvert and an extrovert but what dominates me is my being introvert. I always love staying at home, doing some stuff alone such as surfing the net, sleeping and many other activities. But there are times wherein I want to be with friends. I want to go out and enjoy other people's company.

I'm more of an introvert, my usual routine was house, work, house. I don't go out if there's no errand to do and aside from that I'm not a good conversation starter. Usually I don't talk if I'm not being asked. I tried to go out, attend parties, do night outs with friends, but it never really interests me. I like parties though but I would rather have it at home or only with close friends and families. I'm friendly but i'm just not an outgoing person.

So,it seems to me that I am a totally introvert guy.I feels very shy when faced sthangers even my relatives.I think the reason why I am so introvert is that I lack confidence of myself and scared to communicate with people.I am always afaid that I will be looked down when speaking to others.Actually I want to be more extrovert and want to deal with others with confidence but I don't know how to overcome my fear of being looked down. I like to watch movies,especially those of Hollywood.Besides,I like watch NBA basketball very very much.Dear frends,do you have any suggestion on me to make me more extrovert?Thank you very much.

I would say that I'm mostly an Introvert, I'm a shy person, and I don't make friends very easily because I don't talk to people, I'm too bashful and I don't know what to say when I meet new people. I'm friendly, once you get to know me, and once I get to know you, you can't get me to shut-up..lol. I don't like being so bashful, but I'm working on it.

I'm an introvert person. I keep my troubles within me.

I'm a born introvert, but I've learned to fake being an extrovert when necessary. I would much rather spend time alone than go out to parties or hang out with people I don't know, but sometimes it helps to be that enthusiastic, peppy, outgoing person. I work with people all day and have to have good customer service, so most of the people at my job have no idea how shy I really am.

While I guess I would be a little bit of both at times, mostly I'm an introvert. I live alone so I guess that doesn't help much. I don't get out to socialize as often as I used to so I'm getting more comfortable with being a loner but I miss company once in a while. Even when I did go out more though, I was never been a full blown extrovert. If I did go to a social function, I would tend to stay on the sidelines and never wanted to be the center of attention. I've always been more of an "under the radar" type of guy. It's the way I am and the way I'll always be I guess.

I am an extrovert and this trait helped me in my career and personal life too. Right from school days I used to be doing daring things, going to the Principal asking for a free period, acting in plays, compering shows, giving talks, organising picnics and parties

I'm 70% introvert, because I prefer to be alone and far from those people who are very outgoing who just want to party all night and meet new people and befriends with them. I choose my friend actually but being an introvert doesn't necessarily means that you can't mingle with extrovert ones it's just that you feel that you can do other things more beneficial like going to parties and all. An introvert is a shy one and I agree with that but it depends on a situation because I can be confident as well but not over confident I must say. On the other hand, an extrovert person for sure doesn't appreciate little things and not satisfied with what he/she have at the moment.

I think that I'm a mixture of the two. There are times in college where I want to socialize and party with others, but there are other times (most of the time now since parties are filled with drunk idiots) where I just chill in my room and socialize via the computer or my XBOX 360, or just play games offline and relax. It's rare for me to see a true Extrovert or an Introvert. It's usually a combination of both of those for my friends, or they tend to lean a bit to one side or another.

hmm.. usually I am a homebody. If I am at home, I am at home and I have no plans on going out. If I am at my condo, I have no plans on going out unless I have classes. That is how I live but surprises comes in colloges. Because I am not an outgoing person, my friends or classmates visits me most of the time. If I don't want to go to some party, they will bring the party to me. I am glad that I have friends like that but I really prefer being a homebody :D

Sometimes I am both, it depends on my mood and who I'm around. Most of the time I like spending time at home where it's quiet and I can relax. Once in a great while I have the need to get out and go have fun and let loose.

I don't have any problem talking with people on a one to one basis, but I don't like being the center of attention, so am never the life of the party. I really prefer staying at home.

I'm both. People think of me as an extrovert because I try to be outgoing. However, I have dark moods whenI don't want to bother with people. When they occur, I try to avoid personal exposure. That's me as an adult. When I was a kid, I couldn't stand to be alone. I figure I'm like most people. .

I am usually an introvert. I am a bit shy until I get to know someone really well. I think it has to do a great deal with the trust issues I have though. I don't trust anyone and it takes a lot to get me there. Once I trust you though, you would probably be likely to wish I was back to being shy because I never shut up haha.....

Extrovert or introvert it depends on the situation. Some sky people also latter become extrovert because of the situations. In a meeting if the person is fully knowledgeable on the subject even though introvert he will soon become extrovert because he becomes center point of attraction.. On happy occasion every one becomes extrovert. We cannot rule out this. Certain inborn character makes some introvert and they can not change themselves even though they try.

hi, Maria.I think our personality sometimes depends on our working place . In my previous job I was friendly, quiet with a good termper . Now in my current working place,I get much strong, cold . Everyday I tell myself keep in good mood,don't lose temper easily. But when bad things happened,I would out of control. I am a salesgirl,I always think customers are the god,we need to try our best to offer the customers best service,but many of my colleague don't think like me,their attitude torward work is awful bad. I always argued with them on work,even you need something urgently they would not help you to work over time to finish it. In our sales department, all of our members usually work over time with customers to confirm orders,we work free charge for our factory,never complain our factory. But some people in our factory are really too lazy, their attitude is pretty terrible, could not cooperate with us well.I hope my boss could find their bad side soon and let some of them go. One factory want to get stronger,the worker's attitude is much important.
