I have noticed this for a very long time, and it is not that I am anti-social. So, I am one of those people who don't mind being by themselves. I prefer not going to parties, or having parties. I enjoy going out, but I am also just as content with staying at home.
Like i mentioned i am not anti-social, at my university I have been the "go to" guy for anything people want, it's because i have met everyone through mutual friendships, and that i have been to a lot of high schools before going to university.
My circle of friends usually ask " how the hell do you know those people, you barely leave you're house." My usual reply is, I know them, but i don't know their names, as i am personally bad with names, but i do know those people. I am very social, I have never been shy when speaking in front of people. And i am very comfortable when it comes to different types of groups. I can say that I can hang out with the so called "jocks" as i know many of the school athletes through my other friends, since I use to play point guard for every high school i have been to. I can also say that I am comfortable with the so called "nerds" as I know way too much about computers.
I also found out, that television and radio personalities, Jimmy Kimmel and Howard Stern share the same personality. They are very social, yet they prefer and don't mind being alone. That's how they both became good friends, because of their personalities.
How would you describe this personality? Also what type of person are you?
Sorry for the long story, Cheers

I know, its hard to describe. But it surprised me more when Jimmy Kimmel and Howerd Stern, both share similar traits, and both are best of friends. In their interview, they both discussed how they both went on a vacation with their families to mexico. Instead of having fun or enjoying their vacation, they both just sat in their rooms by themselves. The best part is, their rooms are next to each other yet, they did not bother visiting each other, as they both prefer being alone. Interesting key though, they prefer being alone, yet they created fame by being Television personalities, and in radio hosting where they are required to be social at all times.

I would say you are comfortable with yourself and don't need everyones approval to know you are alive. I have never been a big party goer but do enjoy meeting new people. Given a choice I would rather do something with a few friend than with a large group.

Thank you very much, i am very comfortable with myself. I can see that your are also. It is definitely much better when one has self confidence and not be sensitive to what people say about them. I always had the perspective of, ones success is always dependent on ones actions and belief, not others. Thanks again for the reply.

As I've discovered only a few years ago, I'm an introvert. I also prefer going solo, just moving on my own without having to follow anyone around. I do better that way since I'm always the quiet one in the group. It's hard for me to relate to other people that's why I have very few friends. Also, I have trouble keeping opinions to myself. I'm a frank person and a lot of people don't really like that trait. But I do long for company, only ones that understand me or prefer not to understand me as long as he or she accepts me for who I am.

I believe i am also an introvert. But is it not making sense because I am not shy, I sometimes am on par with the loudest one in this group. I have a large amount of friends who i have exposed myself as who i am and never try to impress anybody else, and they are fine with it. I always stay humble, perhaps one of the reasons why people are not shy towards me.
I support you, true friends must always understand and accept you for who you are. Generally I believe people should always stay kind, to strangers or to their immediate peers.
Thanks for you input.
