The older I get the more introverted I become. I tend to only fully open up with people in my circle or others I have gotten to know well. I've always had a somewhat guarded nature, but now it's not so much about being guarded, more about really only being comfortable with like minded people.

i dont have any friends cause i always find something i hate about them

 

[buttuh_b]

Doggy, I was in ASB in high school for like half a semester because I thought it would help on my college application. Those people were so happy and jolly and talkative ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I wanted to strangle them b. They would always ask me "whats wrong with you?? why you so sad??" I'm not fuckin sad dude. I'm neutral.. I'm chillin. I'm not happy or sad.

People who are overly extroverted are annoying.

Sometimes I'm outgoing and sometimes I keep to myself. I can't be on that non-stop social shit.

Clearly you didn't understand the gist of what you were saying.

You said that people put on acts in public to have successful careers.

But in their downtime they seek solitude.

Which shows a lack of desire to really be extroverted. Even though they may appear to be extroverted at work, they are not an extrovert as they dont prefer the company of others.

If u knew the definition of extrovert you wouldn't have needed a teacher to tell you this.

quit posting like me chump.......

c/s tho

 

[Shuffington]

Nice break Down with that definition Huruma. Funny after you posted that, all the following post became a little more consistent.

Im wondering if our culture is breeding more introverts or more extroverts... or does a more positive healthy hospitable environment bring about more extroverts as opposed to an environment full of fear or constant stress.

i'm somewhere int he middle.. i can be extremely private about a lot of thins.. and not want to be botherd or contanct people for weeks and months at a time.....some of my best friends and close family members i can go 2 or 3 months easily without talkign to them...but whenenever i'm out and about you''d never know cuzi'm socialble and interactive as hell....

All jokes aside....I can be an extrovert when there is business or a paycheck associated w/ it...meaning if my job requires that type of interaction w/ co-workers and employees. However, I'm naturally an introvert.

I'm like Du when it comes to friends and family. I can go weeks or months w/o talking to any of them and be just fine. I don't need people around me to make me happy. I prefer to do my own thing and roll dolo most of the time. Random people just get on my damn nerves after a while. If you saw me around my friends you wouldn't know I was an introvert though. Guess I'm in the middle too.

right, i used to promote parties..worked in sales.. i love playing cards, and hving game nights.. i have no problems speaking in front of crowds... being the center of attention, cracking jokes around a group of people, wilding out at a party, dancing or doing kareokee..

but when i wanna chill in the house and do nothing, which is most of the time...i will chill int he damn house....shit sometimes i even go as far as to turn my phone off.....

 

[bless the child]

My professor stated that the only true way to find out if someone is an introvert or an extrovert is to find out how they spend their free time. Some of the most extroverted persons tend to be introverts when they have free time. For example, a salesman...outgoing, chipper, upbeat....but, when they get home, that "shell" comes off, and their true personality comes out....

When she explained that to me, that's when I figured out that, by definition, I am a true introvert. I know how to be outgoing, and engaging, however, its only as needed.

I co-sign this. My job involves dealing with the public and being out going on a continual basis. However when I go on break or go home I prefer to be in complete solitude. If people didn't know this they'd just assume that I'm a pretty out going and sociable guy. I'm the complete opposite. I only like to be around people when I need something from them.

Many people think it means 'outgoing', 'loud', very social etc. but the technical definition is only someone who is 'energized' by social interaction as opposed to introverts who are energized by solitude and their own internal, mental world. Extroverts live in the 'real' world of people and things, introverts live in their own internal world of ideas and thoughts. Introverts are 'drained' by social interaction, even if they like it, it's exhausting. Extroverts are 'drained' by solitude, they need human contact the way I need privacy and solitude. No one is 100% extroverted or 100% introverted but most people have a dominant function.

On the MBTI, introversion correlates with intuition (someone who is very theoretical and abstract, lives in a world of possibilities,) and extroversion correlates with sensing (someone is who lives in the 'here and now', relies on past experience rather than theoretical possibilities as a guideline and to understand the world, is practical, pays attention to the black and white, immediate facts rather than the 'big picture' etc.). If I'm not mistaken, introversion also correlates with feeling (examines issues from a personal point of view and makes people-centric decisions when it comes to ethics) and perceiving (observes the outside environment without needing to organize or interact with it, likes to leave options open and slow to make decisions, tolerates 'messiness' and ambiguity) and extroversion correlates with thinking (makes detached, impersonal decisions based on objective criteria like rules and facts) and judging (interacts with the outside environment, needs order and structure, needs closure and for decisions to be made). I've heard of different definitions for 'feeling' and 'thinking', I'm not sure which one is the most accurate, but from what I've read, most people misunderstand the terms to mean that 'thinkers' are 'logical' and 'feelers' are more emotional, all decisions are ultimately emotional. The J/P functions were added by Kathrine Meyers and Isabelle Briggs, the original functions were discovered/invented by Carl Jung.

The personality type that correlates the most with higher IQ's are INTPs, followed by INTJs, INFPs and INFJs (the 'N' stands for intuition).

u goin places man...
