Are you more of an extrovert or introvert?

What's your pick?

D'aww!! <Oku04>I'm actually okay in larger groups and don't wind myself up about it as much then. I used to even arrange beer get togethers before we were stopped from going out. It's more the one on ones because I guess with me not working for so long I worried maybe that I wouldn't have much to talk about. Only one friend I know I wouldn't feel like that with and he lives in flippin England!

Haha, the day you have nothing to say is the day that SD is the most positive place on teh intrawebz.

Also, even if there might be an awkward moment, you shouldn't want to avoid it, but see it as a challenge. Going through awkward moments but keeping your head on your shoulders through it can feel rewarding and like an accomplishment.

I accidently changed something in the settings of my posting menu or whatever you'd call it, but don't know what I did or how to change it back. Oh well...

I was in a singing group in HS and now teach classes of between 50-200 Marines routinely, i'm about as extroverted as possible
 
My understanding is that a true extorvert gains energy and enjoys large groups, being around other people, where an introvert finds the same actions draining.

To that end, I am an extrovert. Love being at casinos, live sports and music events.
 
At work, I'm an extrovert. As soon as the work day ends, I'm an introvert.
 
Most definitely an introvert. Social interaction is exhausting most of the time. It’s fine if I’m interacting with my friends (which is a small, close group). But parties gatherings and things are awful, I hate going to them.
Being an introvert is why I have such a new Sherdog join date. For several years I posted at a much smaller forum. I always thought there were way too many people here, but I’ve gotten used to it.

I'm introverted usually, but when I play sports or music, I can be extroverted. I also teach to hundreds of students which is weird being mostly an introvert.

Hahaha, tell it like it is. You aren't the first person to wish that I'd STFU :D

No, I don't avoid it. I won't say I flip out about it and I've always got stuff to say while I'm there...I just hate silence. Now I've got lots to talk about I can't flippin see anyone. We're even doing a Zoom thing for Thanksgiving.

Lol, I realize now that I phrased that a bit unfortunately. It was more meant like "when hell freezes over" not like a cause and effect. :confused:

I didn't think you would avoid it, but more not wanting to avoid it. Dreading it.
Hating silence is not very introvert, methinks...
Making anything special (food) for Thanksgiving? Seems strange if you're doing it with Zoom.

We, being Brit do turkey for Christmas rather than Thanksgiving so maybe not turkey. Probably a joint of beef, I get the day after off as well so make some bread for beef and horseradish sandwiches.
Figured, just pulling your plonker ;)
We can't hang out at all and the people we're Zooming with, our first Virginia Christmas we went to one couple's house, then another's in the evening...then a few years later went to the other couple's house for a few days when we moved up north. So it's just a nice idea to all get together even if it's just for a quick half an hour get together on Zoom. I miss my german sheppard beautiful dog too, if I Facetime with my friend and he hears me he goes spastic trying to find me because he hasn't seen me in 4 years but recognises my voice...gets all confused when he sniffs the phone and I'm not in there.
It'll be nice.
 
Introvert, extreme introvert at this point, and becoming more and more of a home body

Even when Im out and about, im always alone.

Gym - dont talk to anyone unless necessary
Beach - Alone
Walking dog - head phones

When they were going on before covid, I would go to a lot of concerts alone and not really talk to people unless they started - which they rarely ever do

I just...dont click or belong with people

When I'm at home, I like being alone. When I'm with friends I'm extroverted for sure, just not loud.
 
Still more introverted, though I have changed quite radically over the past couple of years.
 
I'm an introvert by nature. I can become more extroverted but it takes some effort to do so. And after a while, I find it exhausting. Unless there's alcohol introduced into the equation. Then I become much more extroverted without any effort. Especially if I'm around people I know.
 
Although I have some moments of being an extrovert, I'd say I'm more of an introvert most of the time.

How about you guys?
I'm more of an introvert. That said, I give a lot less fucks than I used to. I speak my mind, I stand my ground, I'm not scared of confrontation, don't care what people think. So in that sense, I may have taken on more extrovert traits as I've gotten older (if those are indeed extrovert traits)...
 
Yeah, it's either/or for me. I've spent many years playing on stage as musician, being extroverted as fuck, but in my personal life, quite introverted. I like the balance.
I think the best artists are that way. Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon (Roger Taylor was the extrovert in Queen), David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Neal Peart, Alex Lifeson (Geddy Lee was the introvert in Rush), Prince, Bob Marley, Kate Bush, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham (Robert Plant was the extrovert in Led Zeppelin), Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey* (Keith Moon was the extrovert in The Who), etc.

*My dad, who's an extrovert and is friends with The Who's manager, was blown away by how quiet and unassuming Roger is in person. Says he didn't act like a rock star at all. He came backstage very quiet and shy.
 
In between, if I'm around people I know then I am a hardcore extrovert. In a new or unfamiliar setting though, I'll hang back and if I can't make that connection with the people there..I'll just continue to hang back.
