Hey Everyone
Funny side note: as I was typing "Introvert," I then went on to type "OUT-trovert" -- because for some reason, my brain was thinking of social interaction classifications as being like belly buttons -- making people either an "innie," or an "outtie."
I pulled up a few definitions from Google:
* Introvert -- a person whose personality is characterized by a preference for solitude, often appearing reserved and quiet, and gaining energy from spending time alone, rather than being around large groups of people; they tend to be more introspective and thoughtful, feeling drained after extensive social interaction.
* Extrovert -- a person characterized by their outgoing, socially confident, and active behavior. Extroverts tend to be energized by being around other people, enjoying social gatherings, and often feel energized. They are typically perceived as talkative, enthusiastic, and assertive. Unlike introverts, who may need time alone after socializing to recharge, extroverts frequent find that engaging with others helps them recharge and feel their best.
* Ambivert -- a person who has features of both an introvert (someone who prefers to spend time alone) and an extrovert (someone who prefers to be with other people.) Ambiverts are also sometimes called outgoing or social introverts.
* Which categories do you fit under?
* Do you have different definitions of these classifications? If so, how would YOU define them?
* Are you different things in different situations? Give us some examples.
* Do you fit outside ALL of these descriptions? How would YOU define yourself?
I'm going to write a multple choice poll with the answers being visible -- but please come back and discuss how you see yourself and/or how others see yourself in your post.
I find this to be a fascinating subject, and I'm looking forward to learning about this aspect in others.
