Introvert vs Extrovert
|
Introvert vs Extrovert One of my friends has recently told me I'm the least introverted person he's ever known. And my ability and even at times willingness to just walk up to a stranger and start a conversation belies my life-long belief that I'm an introvert. Essentially: an Introvert lives inside his/her head, focuses internally, and gains energy from alone time or very small (1 or 2 people) encounters. Mistaking introversion for shyness is a common error. Introverts prefer solitary to social activities, but do not necessarily fear social encounters like shy people do. Extroverts focus outside themselves, and gains energy from being around large groups of people. There's also an acknowledged third option: Ambiversion Although many people view being introverted or extraverted as a question with only two possible answers, most contemporary trait theories measure levels of extraversion-introversion as part of a single, continuous dimension of personality, with some scores near one end, and others near the half-way mark,[11] see the Big Five personality traits. Ambiversion is falling more or less directly in the middle.[4][12] An ambivert is moderately comfortable with groups and social interaction, but also relishes time alone, away from a crowd. Maybe I'm an Ambivert? Though really: invite me to a huge party I'd far rather sit home with my cat. Invite me to flop on your sofa for hours chatting one on one: I'm so there. On the other hand everything is subjective and based upon circumstances, need, and just the moment itself. Do you classify yourself as introvert or extrovert? (I know I've essentially done this poll before: we're all bloggers. We sink into our own heads and write and predominantly exhibit introvert tendencies in regards to our personal comfort zones). |

I'm pretty much an introvert... not good with groups, but fabulous with one or two people. Thoughts from the Garden...

You're making my head hurt kitten  ...having to think like this...I know I am an ambivert, I fit right in with that definition. Sounds quite similar to ambidextrous...able to use both hands....ambivert...being both sides of the "vert" You know, intro/extro  Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!

I'm an introvert. I also enjoy parties. I sometimes find a quiet place to disappear during parties for a bit of a recharge, though. Thus has it been my whole adult life. I'm hanging out with lots of folks these days. My boyfriend loves throwing parties. That's ideal for me -- I always have a place to retreat (his bedroom) if I need to be alone. I recharge just a bit, sometimes with ear plugs, then I return to frivolity. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

I am an extrovert trapped inside an introvert's body... so, sometimes, people call me a chatty Kathy... I don't like it... but, there it is... and, other times, people don't even know I am there... it all just depends on the stars aligning and what not... and, that's all I have to say about that... To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!

I like to think of myself as a haricotvert: Bean there, done that. Excessive punning makes a man a solitary figure, I've found...

I am an introvert who forces himself to be an extrovert at times in order to achieve my goals and live my life the way I want. Dennis (Idahonuke) To read about myongoing adventures and journey into the lifestyle: [blog Idahonuke]

I'm very good with groups of any size, usually find it very hard to blend in lol. Having said that, I find being around people for extended periods exhausting and I'll disappear for a couple days to recharge. I definitely get energy from alone time.
