Just curious to see if most of the people on her are intovert’s, or whether suicidals are most likely to be introverts. I certainly am, and always have been. I’ve got a bit a social phobia, I can hold a conversation with anyone for sure, not shy, but then I’m likely to get bored pretty quickly with it 🙂 Some people just seem to be able to talk all day. I’ve certainly never been the go to guy to get the party started.

I feel like a shy extrovert. I used to prefer team sports, I dislike living alone. But then I get severely anxious at parties, I struggle to make conversation, to connect with people. I have spent so much time alone since I moved away from home.
I find it hard to apply the traits to myself. I am just not sure.
I qualify, I think, as bi-polar. I bounce between depression – introversion – extroversion – very high extroversion. (I never go full manic.)
After my dad died I crawled into my own navel. Could hardly go out. Hated my body. Always sad. Then there was a period of less sadness and more introspection. Then I started writing more and got in touch with long lost friends. Now I’m going to many holiday parties, cooking for guests, organizing mime hunting, and juggling kittens. By April I should be in perfect shape to wander around Europe.
I’ve had cycles like this my entire life. I’ve learned to work with it.
Hahaha Mime hunting…that image just makes me laugh. Juggling kittens is fine as long as you don’t drop one. Contrary to popular belief not all cats land on their feet.
France is good for mime hunting, non?
So true. My former roommates had one of the clumsiest cats I have ever seen, he would fall off the couch and land on his side.
I think mimes are a protected species in France.
I’d say I am an introvert, always been on the shy side. I have come out of my shell quite a bit in 20 years though but I like being alone and honestly am most comfortable being alone. I like being around people…when I am in the mood to be though…otherwise I can find it aggravating.
extrovert when I’m up
introvert when I’m down
I’m an introvert, I am usually found hiding when there is a social gathering.
I’m not sure if I fit into either of those categories. I’m confident and comfortable around other people and even enjoy public speaking and performing. However, I prefer being alone or just with my boyfriend most of the time. I enjoy peace and quiet and activities like reading, writing, or hiking in the forest. Given a choice between a quiet dinner and movie at home or going to a party, at least 80% of the time I would choose dinner and a movie.
God I hate public speaking…hate being center of attention…but am not in any danger as most don’t hear me half the time speaking in private right next to them 6 inches away…it must be the tone of my voice…it’s like I am invisible sometimes…or they are just ignoring me.
It may be that your voice just doesn’t carry well. I once knew someone like that.
I think that’s exactly it….doesn’t carry well at all.
I used to be shy, but now it doesn’t seem that way. A quote from Robin Williams is the best way I can describe it.
“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy, because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless, and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”
His out of all the celebrity deaths I have ever known bummed me out the most…I was so sad that such an amazing and unique talent was taken from this world.
skid row.
I feel you, I like to talk to people when they aren’t looking too. You think they could hear me?
Introvert all the way, but still want that 1 special partner. Just can’t seem to find one…. Might have something to do with being an introvert???
I would just like to point out that a person is as much either an introvert or an extrovert as they are either a lucid or sleepy person: it varies, according to time of the day, time of the year, period in one’s life, etc.
