I see and hear things, but I keep it to myself. My mind goes through a roller coaster of thoughts, but I don't say much. I am quiet, shy, more reserved. I am an introvert. Many people (extroverts) often don't like being around introverts because they are quiet and boring. However, some may have great social lives. If you are like me, I find it sometimes exhausting to socialize and I would need some time alone to recharge. This doesn't mean that I am self-absorbed or oblivious to others, I simply rely on my thoughts to guide me. I may take my time to gather my thoughts and information because I want to make it right to share it to the world.
Sometimes I have to go out and be an extrovert for awhile, but I'd get stumped. I would not know how to start a conversation or keep it going, or I would be stuck on making small talk. In my mind, I'd be thinking of going back home and curl up in bed with a book. That's one of the downsides of being an introvert. I just don't know what to say to people. I'm the type of person who'd rather stay in than go to a party or social event. I just find it more comforting. I restore myself when I'm alone. If I had a chance to change to an extrovert, I would not. I don't mind being an introvert, in fact I like being one. And meeting another person like me is the most amazing feeling ever. I like having a few close friends and staying at home. Nothing is better than that.
Which one are you?
Introvert or extrovert?
Or both?
Extrovert.
ReplyDeleteSometimes both...
ReplyDeleteThat's good! :)
DeleteI'm an introverted person; I tend to notice things more and speak my thoughts only when it is needed to. Like today... choir was all like Mean Girls "you-are-now-going-into-the-gym-and-resolving-your-problems-or-get-the-flip-together". I wasn't really a part of any of the many dramas happening because I don't talk to much people in there, but I had to watch. And sit.

Yes, I can relate!
DeleteI really don't know. And sometimes it confuses me because I like to see things in black and white, either I'm an introvert or extrovert. But sometimes I'm one, sometimes I'm the other, sometimes I'm both. That's my life in a nutshell (;
ReplyDeleteYeah, some people are both. And that's awesome. :)
DeleteI'm an ambivert, which basically means I have both introverted and extroverted qualities. I don't think it really makes sense to categorize people into two such extreme groups--most people have qualifies from both. I lean towards more extrovert with my friends, and introvert with people I don't know or am uncomfortable with. It really depends on the situation.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. I can be an extrovert too with my close friends. But I am so quiet with new people.
DeleteI'm a mix of both. They call that an ambivert, I think? I get tired after prolonged periods of social interaction, but then get depressed after not seeing anyone for a long time.
