I'm sure this was asked already on another thread but
Are you an Introvert or Extrovert? Or are you right inbetween, an Ambivert?
I've been an Introvert for as long as I can remember. I had to teach myself how to entertain myself since I was that one kid on the playground sitting on the swings by myself and back at home my siblings blew me off. Whenever I hang around people for too long I get too tired, sometimes cry if it's way too long.
I'm definitely an introvert. When I was younger I was so shy I struggled to talk to people I didn't know and it was hard for me to make friends. As I've gotten older I've grown out of that and people actually compliment me on my public speaking which is crazy to me. I'm also more outgoing and have no trouble talking to random people anymore. However, I'm still an introvert at heart. I need time to recharge after social outings and I enjoy spending time alone too!
I am more or less a pure introvert. Don't really go out, don't really talk to or hang out with people IRL (what are IRL friends), I'm rather quiet and keep to myself. It's more or less the way I've always been tbh.
I’m an ambivert! I try and be very outgoing when I can, but when my anxiety kicks in it’s basically over for my social side of me. Anxiety makes it really hard for me to be outgoing and social, since I feel like I’m being judged all the time. I’m very introverted in the sense that I would rather stay home than go to a basketball with my friends. To much noise triggers my chronic headaches, so that’s like 1/3 of why I don’t go out.
Definitely introverted. My career is pretty human-oriented, but it works for me because my role is clearly defined, which gives me confidence. However, I cherish my time alone after work and consider it pretty sacred. Being home alone or doing things alone recharges me, especially sports.
I had a love-hate relationship with team sports as a child and never measured up to my peers, so I thought I wasn't athletic. It turns out that lifting and running are better for me because they're solo endeavors.
I'm mostly an introvert, but I can see myself being an ambivert. I can definitely become more extroverted for the right crowd or if I absolutely have to, but it's incredibly exhausting to be on like that all the time. A lot of the people I'm more social around now can't get me to be quiet lmao
Definitely an introvert...
Sometimes I'm just tired looking at and interacting with people... But I'm okay when I talk to people I'm close to or having a really intellectual conversation, well it doesn't have to be educational but just a conversation I'm into I guess.
I hate small talk though, especially the "hi, hello, how are you," "good, thanks you," "good." and it ends there. Good lawd. x-x;
i'm definitely an ambivert! i love to socialize and meet new people when i'm in the mood for it and i do notice that my overall mental health is not as stable/i'm not as happy when i go for long periods without socializing. however, that doesn't mean i dont get burnt out because i definitely do. i just kinda have time for myself for a little while to recharge (this doesn't apply to rly close friends tho, i can talk to them whenever i want no matter how burnt out i am. that's how you know they're close)
i’m 100% an introvert - i struggle with social anxiety, too, and while i do have moments where i enjoy socializing and long for human interaction of some kind, i get burnt out really easily and can’t involve myself in interactions that last too long ;;
