catebutler @Bookgirl 😂 I thought for years I was an extrovert, but nope, I‘m definitely not! I‘d get the worst burn out and always loved quiet alone time. This article was great, I stumbled across it recently and it definitely checks everything for me! https://introvertdear.com/news/extroverted-introvert-signs/ 5y

Bookgirl @catebutler I do recharge being around people but I also need time away from people. My daughter is the same. She says we are ambiverts! 5y

Bookgirl @catebutler great article!!! Number 3 is definitely me, but all are. Good to know! 5y

Worst Christmas gift ever for an introvert? Tickets to go see something with a lot of people. At first I was excited bc I thought my MIL bought tickets for my husband and kids and I'd have the day to myself. Unfortunately, I counted 4 tickets soon after. The show was great, but after such a long day I'm ready to cut anyone's tongue out that talks to me or suffocate anyone that breathes in the same air as me. #mentallyexhausted

Becker I feel your pain. 5y

Happy Day to us all! Or some of us at least. I think there's this huge misconception that all introverts are shy. I say we just have a different world view and don't need to socialize 24/7 in order to feel satisfied. So, here's to you if today is your day!

🌻 Introvert

🌻 Do more

🌻 Audiobook 🎧

🌻 Clean. I have an unhealthy obsession with cleaning. I clean anything and everything I can. Sometimes sanitize too! 😂

🌻 Read graphic novels. Not Marvel/DC comics kind. Read graphic novel version of a novel, biography, etc It works for me. And reading children books helps too.😊

Advocates tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all.

This is so true!! I'm always the one everyone comes to about their problems. Also, apparently I'm 81% introvert. Sounds about right! #introvertorextrovert

JenlovesJT47 I also have OCD and thought I was going crazy but they spelled extrovert wrong at the end of the quiz. Yes I am a dork! 🤓 6y

umbrellagirl @JenlovesJT47 I noticed that too! 6y

mypoesoul Yay! Finally scrolling through the Litsy feed and find someone that shares the exact same profile as I do. 😊 I‘ve taken this test before, even by someone that was a professional Myers-Briggs examiner and I get the same thing every time. 🤓 6y

I was actually a little surprised by the I but it was a 60/40 ratio. I always say I am a shy extrovert. It was interesting though and most of the traits of the defender were spot on especially in the workplace. #introvertorextrovert

Chasing_Pages I got the same thing and I‘m exactly the same why, shy and introverted sometimes but part extrovert other times. It‘s weird but at least the quiz understands us! 😉 6y

So the older I get the more introverted I think I am. I prefer to go nowhere on the weekends if I can help it. I just want to cozy up at home and relax. My younger self loved going out and being in a large group but eh not so much now. I was wondering if my fellow littens consider themselves more introverted or extroverted. #introvertorextrovert

Mitch Me too! As I‘ve got older I‘ve got better at acknowledging what I love to do and trying to do more of it. I have a very public / people orientated job - so when that‘s over I‘m a real home bod! Staying in is what I look forward to most about the weekend! 6y

CocoReads I‘m an introvert for sure. 6y

cobwebmoth I'm definitely an introvert. I like the idea of going and doing things until I actually get out amongst people, and then I want to go home. 6y

See All 43 Comments

Astroneman Mmmmm..... Introvert sure, but sometime extrovert 6y

DiruVamp Oh introvert all the way! 6y

MoMogrl I am definitely introvert. Always have been. I am INFP with introvert being 96% and everything else a l more balanced. 6y

JoScho @Mitch me too! I think what we do all week probably has a lot to do with it. 6y

Carolyn11215 I‘m something in between I think. I have to interact with people as part of my job and enjoy doing so...though sometimes just need to “be alone.” 6y

Ashley85 Introvert! I‘ve always struggled with wanting to read about people vs. actually being with people 😏 6y

JoScho @Ashley85 because in reality sometimes people can suck 😕 6y

JoScho @cobwebmoth the same! I had to go to Walmart the other day and when I left I thought to myself no wonder I do all my shopping online! 6y

MommyOfTwo For me it really depends on who is around 6y

Karkar Introverted for sure! 6y

BookMaven407 I am the same. My younger self was always out and about. Now a great weekend is not having to leave the house. I generally have groceries or anything needed delivered. 6y

JenReadsAlot Introverted! Can easily stay home all weekend and do nothing but read! 6y

2BR02B Introvert hiding behind a heavy shroud of social anxiety. Fictional people are usually the people I like best. 6y

TheLibrarian Definitely an introvert but I used to go out a lot in my younger days. 6y

JoScho @JenReadsAlot exactly! If I can park my car at home after work on Friday and not move it again until I leave for work on Monday I feel like it was a good weekend. 6y

JoScho @2BR02B I don‘t know that I have social anxiety but certainly anxiety. I worry about everything constantly. Being safe at home with my pets and hubs is my happy place. 6y

Christine11 I‘m the same - I‘ve definitely become more introverted as I‘ve gotten older ! 6y

JoScho @christine11 @TheLibrarian maybe that is a common thing - not sure - but it makes me feel better to know I‘m not the only one 😊 6y

2BR02B @JoScho Same. It often takes a lot of effort to force myself out of my comfort zone, but it's usually worth it. New experiences are the only way to grow. 6y

Jadams89 Introvert to the max. Social interaction in general is awkward for me even when I‘m comfortable with people. I end up sitting there thinking “why am I here when there are books to be read and Movies to be watched?” 6y

JoScho @Jadams1776 I feel you. I think at this point in my life I know what makes me happy and it is generally not sitting around struggling to make conversation. 6y

rustoryhuf @JoScho I‘m so like this! Park and don‘t move, that‘s my weekend motto. Did someone say introvert? 6y

Nessavamusic I‘m an extroverted introvert, I‘m a teacher so I have to be “on” all day so outside of work I don‘t tolerate people much besides my husband. @JoScho 6y

JoScho @Nessavamusic me too! I think that has a lot to do with it. We basically “perform” all week for our students to get their attention and focus and then we are just done. 6y

Schuhbox Yes, me too. I used to enjoy going out and doing things even though I got my energy from being alone. But now, I‘d rather stay at home with a book or movie. 😀 6y

JoScho @rustoryhuf lol we are surrounded by our people here 😃 6y

xicanti I was surprised when the Myers-Briggs test told me I was an extrovert, but I've come to embrace the label. I love going out and doing stuff, though I find transportation stressful and I'm not especially good at meeting new people because I'm anxious. Send me out with someone who can make an introduction or two, though, and I'm all good. 6y

Melissa_J I‘m an introvert who can be an extrovert when the situation calls for it, and have become more comfortable with my extrovert side as I‘ve gotten older. That said, I need alone time to re-charge and rest, and I can‘t stay in social situations for extended periods of time without needing a solitude break. My husband thinks I‘d make a good hermit. 6y

Grrlbrarian Introvert called upon to be an extrovert at work. By the end of the workday, I‘m knackered and ready for solitude! Seems to have gotten more pronounced the older I get as well 6y

ReadingOver50 100% introvert. I‘ve never had any question about it. Surprisingly I am currently employed as a phone operator and talk to people all day. But because it is over the phone and I don‘t have to initiate conversations it is fine 😄 6y

[DELETED] 3803335244 Definitely an introvert. However, if I get to know a person I come out of my shell. Still introverted though, basically I avoid people. 😂😂 6y

KrystleTheBookSlayer 100% introvert! 6y

Sleepswithbooks Introvert at Extrovert Job (I should have been a sloth wrangler). 6y

JoScho @Stacypatrice me too or a puppy trainer! 6y

VanChocStrawberry @xicanti I call myself an ambivert. I process out loud, and and find it helpful to talk through things with someone else (extrovert). I like being with people and don‘t get drained by my interactions, but I‘m very glad to have quiet alone time. I don‘t crave going out and doing stuff the way I used to. I‘m finding reading everyone‘s comments so interesting!! (edited) 6y

Amanda.T I‘ve always been introverted, but I‘ve noticed as I‘ve gotten older how much I need alone time to recharge. I‘m sure interacting with a toddler all day long probably has something to do with it. 😜 6y

jenniferw88 Introvert, but I can be extroverted if the situation calls for it. 6y
