Forgive me if this doesn't sounds 100% coherent, and I will likely miss some points, but I want to get this started before I go to bed, and it is quite late as it is. I have noticed a number of people on the forums, over time, realize that they are infact extroverts. However, a particular kind of extrovert. They call themselves "introverted extroverts" or simply put "a shy extrovert". However, I have seen very few people subscribe to the other possible side to this, extroverted introverts. To which, I now definitely see myself as.
It seems like the vast majority of people usually are either full introverts, or full extroverts. They have most if not all the aspects of each one. Then there is a minority of introverted extroverts that I have seen, and I have seen a minority of extroverted introverts. The latter though I have seen the fewest of though. For myself at least, I don't have much doubt that I am introverted. I do need my alone time, I need time to think, reflect, contemplate, internally explore, plan, and recharge. However, I have a distinct social side to me. I do need people, I need to get out, have fun, socialize, and when I do so I am usually very highly proficent with it, and at the bare minimum I can make myself confortable, and in rare cases become the life of the party. However, the way I go about this and display this has marks of "an introvert in disquise" in effect. When I socialize I need to have fun and interact with people fully, in a very engaged and focused way, its extremely important to me.
So, the purpose of this thread is to see if there is anyone else that would describe themselves as an "extroverted introvert". What is it like for you, why do you see yourself this way? Discuss.
