I would classify myself as mostly an in between for the most part. I enjoy being by myself a lot, but I don't mind company at times.

I'm an introvert. I spend a lot of time in my own company, and I'm very quiet around people I don't know very well.

In-between for me. It's kinda fluctuated back and forth over the years, depending on confidence levels.

Somewhere in-between. I’m more of an extrovert, though it depends on my mood. I don't mind being alone, though I have no problem talking to people as long as we have stuff in common to talk about.

Introverts find being around other people draining. Extroverts find it energizing.

I'm an introvert, but because of my job I have to be around a lot of people every day at the office. I've trained myself to be less drained by the interaction.

I take walks and breaks in the caffeteria during non-meal times to decompress.

For some reason, talking makes me feel more tired than physical activity. However, in family/social situations, I do enjoy talking; in school/work situations or when it come to subjects involving either of which, on the other hand, I usually avoid discussion as much as humanly possible, either because I don't want to risk arousing hostilities in a potentially hostile environment or because I don't want anyone to know about it. Usually when I do socialize I allow others to start the discussion and I just follow, I find it more comfortable for everyone when I allow others to decide what they wish to discuss, as long as it's not a subject that's restricted by me.
Overall, I would say in-between, leaning more towards introverted.

Very much introvert. I am pretty much the opposite of being socially needy. (And I know some extroverts who do act needy - talk about an energy zapper.) It does not take me long to get my fill of other people. Some people I can enjoy being around a while, others, such as gusts that were not my idea, is more of a tolerance... If they're someone's else's guest, I'll visit long enough to be polite then go do my own thing instead of sitting there bored listing to them talk.



This is pretty much my sister and me:



Now, I can't say that's 100% her and her level of racket tends to depend on how tired she is, but there's always some. Where for me, I get home from work and I'm done with it all and want some peace and quiet. Which means they all drive me nuts at times because then my mom and sister can have loud, long winded conversations, or my brother-in-law gets home and frequently has some way too long drama (via work) story to go on about...and I'm just really wishing everyone would shut up for a while because listening to them from another room even tires me out. lol Sure, sometimes I've got a story to tell, but I'll tend to either save it for later or keep it short.

Friends don't think I'm all that social, and yeah, I'm not, but I have plenty enough at home to tire me out from the start.

I am introverted because I find expressing emotions to people weird. It's weak. I don't even tell my feelings to my mother, I don't need to say more.

I'm extroverted. I do well around people and find it easy to speak to anyone.

That's not being an introvert that's being weird and having a weird hangup about talking about your emotions, it isn't weak

I guess im in between since I really don't have an aversion to being alone or around other people and can do both comfortably.

I think that sounds more like me. I voted that I'm an ambivert, though I might lean more towards the introvert side. It all depends on who I'm around. If I actually appreciate the people I'm around, and I know they appreciate me, then it's just fine.

I'm an introvert with people I don't know, and an extrovert with people that I like.

Strangely though, I'm in-between with my family. :l

Okay, ambiverts are literally not that common, most of you are probably introverts

It has to do with how you recharge and not what people you're specifically around, do you recharge when you're alone or when you're interacting with other people
