"I used to love her, but I had to kill her" was evidently based on an introvert that had enough of an extrovert complaining about the "innie"

Saturday night I'm in the gym because I knew it'd be empty.

I'm introverted, but I go out of my way to get out and socialize. I can "fake" being more extroverted. The difference is where extroverts recharge by socializing, I have to have my alone time in order to.

All in all, I'd rather be introverted. I am more than capable of entertaining myself. So if nothing is going on, I'm perfectly OK doing my own thing. Extroverts seem to be too damned needy and pushy when wanting to hang out.

The Intoversion-Extarvesion continuum is one of the "Big 5 Personality Traits" and supported by tons of research. Most fall in the middle as you described, but those closer to either end are real personality traits


I get that, Meyers Briggs puts everyone into one camp or the other. I just think it's dumb that the last few years people have put up shite about how to treat introverts. People just want to think that they're special and deserve specific treatment.

Perfect example. You shouldn't interrupt introverts. Well yeah but you really shouldn't interrupt anybody. How about "don't be a dick to people regardless of what their personality test says"?

Introvert here too.

I usually have a good bit of anxiety in any social situation so it takes a while for me to loosen up but when that happens, it's like a different person comes out and my friends and family will tell you that for a fact.

I'm an extreme introvert.

And I'm an Navy Recruiter.

cool to be an introvert now? Everyone seems to be an introvert.

Why does everyone want to classify themselves as this or that?

I was an introvert before it was cool.

But really, it just helps to explain why I don't want to talk to every single person 24/7. That's just not how I work. I was always a "wallflower" even before cellphones, always just hiding in a corner reading a book.

In

Grew up in only child household.

I learned at an early age to be extremely comfortable by myself.

Took my wife a while to understand that I dont "have to" have someone with me to go buy something at a store, go eat lunch, etc.

Nobody I know thinks I'm a damn introvert. Baffles the shite outta me.

My front door welcome mat really does say "Leave".

I don't think anyone reads anymore. I mean it. LEAVE.
