Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

I THINK I'M AN INTROVERT....

in•tro•vert (ˈɪn trəˌvɜrt)
Opposite of extrovert. A person who is energized by spending time alone. Often found in their homes, libraries, quiet parks that not many people know about, or other secluded places, introverts like to think and be alone.
Contrary to popular belief, not all introverts are shy. Some may have great social lives and love talking to their friends but just need some time to be alone to "recharge" afterwards. The word "Introvert" has negative connotations that need to be destroyed. Introverts are simply misunderstood because the majority of the population consists of extroverts.

ex•tro•vert (ˈex trəˌvɜrt)
Most people believe that an extrovert is a person who is friendly and outgoing. While that may be true, that is not the true meaning of extroversion. Basically, an extrovert is a person who is energized by being around other people. This is the opposite of an introvert who is energized by being alone.Extroverts tend to "fade" when alone and can easily become bored without other people around. When given the chance, an extrovert will talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think. In fact, extroverts tend to think as they speak, unlike introverts who are far more likely to think before they speak. Extroverts often think best when they are talking. Concepts just don't seem real to them unless they can talk about them; reflecting on them isn't enough.

Which one are you?

I may already be twenty, but I am still learning new things about myself day by day. And little by little, I start finding myself. I've always thought of myself as different and a tad strange. I don't really laugh at a lot of jokes, probably cause my funny bone doesn't get tickled that easily. Though I wish I laughed more, but I can never bring myself to laugh at something that I don't find that humorous. It almost feels like I am cheating the jokers on their low humour level by laughing. But when I do & I laugh really hard, well....um...let's just say that you can instantly see it from my eyes. It's a trait that I found mostly on some of my family members. I have yet to meet someone whom has this similar trait. Or maybe I have, but I just didn't know.

I'm not loud but I am capable of being loud when I want to or when I am comfortable with the people I'm with. or in some cases, when I am extremely tired. I think a lot. Like a lot a lot, that by the time I've filtered my thoughts, everyone would've moved on to a different topic. In the end, I couldn't be bothered to mention my filtered thoughts cause it seemed irrelevant after that. So people could mistook that for being quiet or antisocial. Though sometimes, I do literally have nothing to say.

After being in a social situation for too long, I undergo a shut down process where I like to zone off and stare into nothing. Like an introvert, I get 'recharged' when I zone out. And it bugs me when people wave in front of my face to make me stop the staring contest I have with nothing. They think it's strange and some may get a little superstitious about it. When people do that, I instantly put them in the 'I'm not so sure what I think about you yet' list.

I also find solitude in being alone on most days. I like to read, drink teas and coffees and google all the ridiculous things you could think of when you suspect a potential disorder you may be suffering from. which also, has led to this story tale about myself here. Though of course on some days, I like the companion of people. I actually especially love those random days where I strike up a conversation with a total stranger and tell them bits of my life story and vice versa. It's always a pleasantly surprising experience. 

I can be crazily wild when I want to. I don't mean it like in the drunk, wasted and clubbing pathway, not that I am degrading those who does this kind of crazy. Everyone has their different ways of being crazy. & when I say crazy, it usually means when I need a breather and some sort of a YOLO moment. Example, going to a concert. Or make lame lip syncing music videos. Music must be involved in my type of crazy. & honestly, right now I kinda need one. 

Overall, it's pretty obvious that I fair more on the introverted ways rather than the extroverted ones. Though I'd like to believe that I have a touch of an extroverted style as well. Just a teeny bit.
