verily-forsooth-egads Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't think a high percentage of introverts is an asexual thing, I think it's just an Internet thing. There could still be a correlation, but there must be a better way to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrel Combat Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can be both, too. Sometimes I'm very quiet and you wouldn't really know I'm there; next minute, I'm the center of attention in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 On this, I have read that no one is purely introverted or extroverted. It's more like a curve--most people are near the apex, somewhere inbetween rather than one extreme or the other. I have also read that introverts and extroverts take in information differently in such a way that introverts need to have time to themselves in order to sort the information they take in while out and about. (Which is probably why they say that introverts use energy in social situations and extroverts gain energy.) I tend to think that introverts can process directly, but not as well as extroverts. And extroverts may perhaps need some time alone to process some things, but not as much as introverts. But I'm just speculating, don't take it as gospel.

bleegiimuus Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 So many introverts. That makes me feel better. I was just explaining that I need my "cocoon time" when I hide in my apartment for a few days to recover from lots of socializing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritGrove Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Technically, I am ambiverted, but I picked "extrovert" because that is what the E in ENFP stands for and ultimately where I would go if forced to tip one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalBookDust Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Definitely an introvert. Being around people drains me. I have a job that lets me function by myself with minimal interaction with patrons. I have a few friends with whom I social on an individual basis. I never attend parties. Ugh.

Ficulnean Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Both equally. By which I mean that it's situationally dependent, and I move from one to the other. Not that I'm somehow a balance between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geohdu Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well, there's definitely more introverts, I'm not sure if I'm surprised... But that's just taking into account the less than 100 people having taken the poll, counting only the ace's on Aven, who take polls. You'ld need a bigger study to be sure really. But it's a very interesting idea ! ;) For my part, I'm a grand introvert. Just like many before have said, I need to recharge my batteries after a social do, and could well do without them alltogether. BUT I've chosen to follow an extroverts professional career. Draining but fulfilling. I guess that would count as a bit of both then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a very interesting idea ! ;) Yeah I should've reworded my original post but just kept it the way it was. Although 246 members have taken the poll, so more than twice what you thought. Still not a lot even in our community, but definitely more than 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indieanna Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm for sure an introvert. I enjoy people though I'm quite shy to begin with. But after a certain amount of time I really just need some time on my own to replenish my energies. Usually it's not a problem unless I'm in a situation like being on a trip with friends where we are together 24/7 and I usually ends up feeling terribly.

AtraLux Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've taken the Myers Briggs personality test a few times, with varying results. The one constant is that I'm 100% introverted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowe13 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 It looks like were a bunch of introverts with the odd extroverts who are probably the ones setting up all the meet ups. Idk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudlark Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm not completely sure...I'm not shy of people, enjoy the company of people I like, and am able to talk easily among them; but I do also like being alone, I don't crave others' company and sometimes when talking with people for long periods of time (particularly people I'm already familiar with), it's almost like I get 'tired' of talking--I run out of things to say very quickly and kind of wish they'd just be quiet and stop talking to me altogether. I have never felt lonely as a result of being alone, only when in situations where I am stuck among people who I either dislike or are talking among themselves about things which I can join in and can't relate to (and I can't go off by myself anywhere), and I don't think the word 'extrovert' really suits me at all...therefore I'd be inclined to say a little on the introvert side.

Kuebiko Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Just want to point out that general introvert/extrovert definitions are very different from MBTI definitions so it'll be great if you could just clarify that. It might make a difference for people. (not me though, I'm an introvert all the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Most people are not on the extreme ends of either. The way I've heard it is basically do you gain or lose energy by being around others. Being introverted doesn't mean you can't enjoy being social. For me, I like spending time with close friends, but I am happy to be alone most of the time. In social events my ideal is to hang around people I am familiar with, and I usually want to interact with them and enjoy it greatly--I may even gain energy from it at times--but I like having the choice to drift off to a corner as well. Since I am able to do this 99% of the time I don't usually feel drained afterwards. When I am forced to actively interact with strangers it's very different though. It's not that I don't like people, it's that I want interaction to be on my own terms. But this has me wondering if extroverts even exist, honestly. I mean, of course they must. But it's hard to imagine wanting to be around people so much that being alone is mentally draining--like, my mind can't comprehend that. Is it even possible? Is the rest of the world really predominantly extroverted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
