"I’ve just had a lovely long weekend with close family but I’m craving my own space. I love being with people I like but it really drains me. I’m introverted. Sounds nice. At least not a hermit " No! I’m very sociable and people often think I’m extrovert but I’m not. | |||

"When I did the Myers Briggs test thing I got 51% introvert and 49% extrovert which makes sense to me. I need a balance. I come across quite extroverted in social situations and I go stir crazy if I'm alone too much but I also find lots of socialising draining and need so much time on my own. " Yup, that's me too! | |||

I crave both being given time on my own and being sociable too | |||

" i just tried a 10 question Myers Briggs test and got 10% Extroverted and 90% Introverted, some of the questions weren't relevant to me tho as the asked about socialising with others & exercise , neither had "I dont" as an option. im deffo 100% introverted. | |||

"An introvert's introvert. Very introspective, prefer my own company or that of close family. Quiet in large gatherings (usually studying everyone else). Happy with silence. Can become more talkative/excitable on a one to one once I feel comfortable with the person. Comfortable in my own skin. Quite self-contained. Don't always open up. Can overthink. Know my moods. Did I say I was quite introspective?" INFJ (Advocate) - very rare apparently | |||

"Can you be a bit of both? Total extrovert in the right situation " It’s possible to be both or either in different contexts. But extrovert doesn’t mean outgoing and introverted doesn’t mean shy. I can be very sociable and outgoing on occasions but I’m an introvert. Extroverts get energised by being around lots of people and drained by being alone, introverts get energy from being alone or very small groups and drained from large groups. | |||
