I'm somewhere in the middle. I've always considered myself more extroverted because I enjoy being around people and I feel down when I'm alone. However, I also really dislike being around people sometimes, haha. I can be really awkward and sometimes being around people I don't know well makes me anxious, but I think I still lean on the extroverted side. Not by a ton though
Extrovert almost 100%. When I first meet people I'll be a little reserved at first for a few minutes to feel them out and the situation, but after that I am a social butterfly and love to talk and start conversations with people. Doesn't make me nervous at all!
I do need my alone time though and down time to re-energize if I've been with and around people to much.
I'm an extrovert. I'll chat it up with complete strangers. However, I would find it exhausting to be one of those people who has drinks with the girls 3 nights a week, a book club, crap tv night, etc. I couldn't have something constantly on my social calendar.

Introvert. I find it exhausting to be around people all the time. I still get together with my friends somewhat often, but I would be a mess to do it daily.

This. I can make friends in an elevator, but I certainly love my me time.
I'm somewhat in the middle but definitely lean towards extrovert. I would go crazy if I only had myself for entertainment. I'm definitely a person that needs my alone time but also feel like I need to be around people pretty regularly. In any given week I go on a walk with my neighbor, walk with my church mentor, see my BFF and her DD, visit with my mom, and talk on the phone with my dad, mom, step mom, and brother along with some close friends.

This. I stress if I have TOO much on my social calendar. I am an extrovert in that I don't meet a stranger and will give everyone hugs if I ever get to go to a get-together. I'm very outgoing to others. In my head, I feel more inclined to be an introvert.
Like I'll call my Dad 2-3 times a week and talk to you guys every day. Of course, I hang with DH when he's home. THIS is my preference. Every 2-3 weeks, I'll get asked to do something with others.
I'm super independent and love my own personal schedule. I really don't like having to move my calendar around for social events. I purposely schedule weekends OFF/At Home if I do something grand the weekend before with friends.
I'm definitely an introvert. I'm very shy and reserved and have a hard time opening up to people. I prefer to have a few close friends rather than many, and I need time to unwind after being around people all day.
That said, I do love to talk with my H and family. Over time my awkwardness in meeting new people has reduced.
I'm kind of middle of the road, but if I had to choose I'd say extrovert because I feel energized by being around other people, and my mood is easily affected by the moods of other people, both positively and negatively. I also get depressed if I am alone for too long. That being said, I am somewhat of a homebody and a little shy/reserved with new people.

Introvert but not extreme. I always have plans and love to see friends but also need my down time. I am quiet in big groups but pretty chatty in small groups.
Introvert for sure, but I really like to socialize in small groups (one to three other people, ideally!). I sometimes talk to the point of obnoxiousness because I try so hard to break out of my shell. Other times, if I don't know people, I can be almost silent. I am so afraid that I come off as rude when I'm really just shy.

This is exactly how I am in social situations. Especially at work, when I feel like I need to be "on" the entire time.
