introvert. I think most of us here are introverts anyways (maybe bordering on ambivert)
I can talk to people. That is, if it's not about the weather. Or someone's new shoes. Or just small talk in general. You gotta start the conversation and question life and the reasons for human existence for me to not make things completely awkward. I only really connect with people with interests like mine (art, video games, philosophical thinking) and generally stay away from others who actually go outside to do things or hang out with real life people.
Well that explains a lot about your attitude towards me, doesn't it? Anyways, I get where your coming from though, but I often do find myself wanting to not crave social attention. Conversating comes naturally to me. Public speeches are no sweat. I don't feel drained going to social events (I still don't care for them). I just can't turn off my button to not want to socialize, introverts often don't understand the struggles of extroverts. (I'm pretty sure it goes the same way for how extroverts don't know the struggles of introverts, however, the inter web is where most introverts lie, so extroverts kinda get overlooked in forums or such.)
Now, let me just flatly answer the question. Yes, I'm an extrovert. I consider myself a isolated extrovert, however, as I often find dealing with "certain" people a drag. Let me phrase that more clearly. I don't like dealing with irrelevant, shallow stuff that a plethora of people often advocate. I might be a little biased, but that's how I see it.
Consequently (or not), I like socializing. Not, "oh let's talk all the time about petty stuff". It's deep, real, meaningful stories that I expel out of my mouth. I talked to a person for 3 hours straight about our experiences in life, and I enjoyed every second of it. I despise people who waste my time trying to start a conversation with "Hey! Did you know this person is gay?". This actually happened to me before and internally I was thinking "What am I supposed to respond with?". I ended up scolding the person...
Anyways, because I don't have a very involved social life, I often go a little nutty trying to quench my extroverted side. I just want some kind of interaction. It drains me to be cooped up. Typically, I find introverted people more interesting. They just seem to have a little more insight on things and they actually don't spit out meaningless things for the most part (I have met a few obscene introverts).
Yeah, sorry I went on a little ramble, I just really wanted to express my ideologies about this. Honestly, there's only like few other people claiming to be an extrovert, and it feels like that I can express my own self more vividly here. (Self-proclaimed amibiverts don't count because technically, I have experiences "introversion", but I don't say that fall under the ambiversion umbrella)
