Nah, I love my extroverts. They do what I repeatedly fail to do, and help pull me into the conversation and actually get some social interaction rather than sulking quietly in a corner.
Extroverts that know how to pull introverts into social interaction are the best and I have often looked up to them.
It sounds like you're shy, not introverted.
Introverts need social interaction too, just less of it.
That's how it starts out, but decades later you're not shy anymore, you're just lazy in starting a conversation and rely on others who have much less inertia.
I also love my extrovees
Yes, but it sounds like you're extroverted but shy.
People far too often confuse introversion with social anxiety. It's becoming my biggest pet peeve.
I gotta admit I'm pretty confused with these labels. I thought intro/extro were labels applied to behaviours of people, not some intrinsic want.
E.g. if you have social anxiety or were shy, driving you to stay indoors and not interact no matter how much you wanted to, that's introverted.
I spent most of my life like that, at peace with my own hobbies, and happy to be left alone, but later in life overcame my social issues and developed a slow rapport with people, that then turned into enjoying others company.
No, it's an intrinsic want. Extroverts get energized by being around other people, and feel drained when spending time alone. Introverts get drained by being around other people, and need some time alone to recharge. You can be a shy extrovert, someone who wants to be around other people but is shy about it. Or, you can be a class-clown introvert, someone who is the life of the party, but needs to get away and get some energy back after that kind of performance.
Hmm. I guess I iterate between the two a lot then. I'd also be surprised if most people didn't
Where does it imply that he's an extrovert?
