Are you an introvert, ambivert, or extrovert? Explain how your mind or thought process works?

Do you think you are born with what you are, or you can change it? Explain.

Do outside influences help form a person? Explain.

Thank you for this thread. It's very appreciated and interesting! emotion_bigheart

I'm introvert and have known about it actively for a few years now. Overthinking things seems to be my biggest trait, I usually go through things that has happened (and will/might happen) over and over in my mind. It also leads to a more unfortunate thing - hurtful things often leads to stay in my mind for far longer than they need to. Instead of getting over them soon, it's like I'm tormenting myself with trying to understand them.

While in bigger groups I am usually one to fall back immediately (while not under the influence of alcohol) and observe. I like to get a sense of "feeling" for people and I guess being an observer helps with that, to some extent.

I do however not think we are born being intro- or extrovert, or anything inbetween. We are probably more or less prone to different things (such as emotional outbursts etc.) which might lead us to become introvert or extrovert, but ultimately I think we are influenced a lot by the outside.

I like to be alone sometimes but most of the time I want to be with my friends. Also I have like no common sense and I'm really self aware. I consider myself an extrovert because of all the efforts i went through to have my friends

Give me Clothes, danggit...

I'd say i'm Ambivert.

now if you asked this question in 2010, i'd have said introvert, as i did not have much of a social life back then.As such, i believe you can change your -vert personality. You simply need to find something that causes you to be social if you're introverted.
Though i dont think it's as easy to become an introvert if you're an overly social person. I think it would require a tragedy that causes you to rethink how you as a person are.

...I'm starving!

Pretty extreme introvert.
Social time makes me tired. The only real social time I need is talking to my family, which I still don't care to do much, and being on the internet. I like it this way. I never get bored by myself however around people I can't help but to tear my hair out with boredom. This is how I always have been. I don't mind if I'm not the most desirable personality type according to USA standards, I am who I am and the united states have never been a fan of anyone different anyway.

Changing to introverted and extroverted isn't really possible if you definitely are one or the other. I believe some self proclaimed introverts are only introverted due to laziness, haven't found people they clicked with, or whatever the reason may be. I think some people are and are always going to be introverted and some people think their introverted but really aren't and are only that way because of outside forces and not because that is their true selves. Same with extroverted.

Did that make sense?

Ambivert. People describe me both as quiet and kind of thoughtful, but also describe me as someone friendly and easy to talk to.

...You better believe all the troubles you have will pay you someday."

[This Is My Label]

Definitely an ambivert.

I would rather much be alone and do my own thing, but I'm very social and talkative.

[Tea cup here]

I am introverted a lot.

INTROVERT, EXTROVERT, DOESN'T MATTER!

[Blubbies]

As much as I would like to say I'm ambivert because of my teaching position, and a gf to a very extroverted bf XDD... I still think I'm more introverted. Mainly because I like my alone time. And I have so many thoughts in my head, yet I have trouble voicing them out properly. The many wtf-faces I get from trying to explain myself up to now... god. emotion_facepalm I'll talk a load off, but only with a few close people, or those who share some common interest with me. Otherwise, I tend to just sit or stand elsewhere, draw, stare at nothing, etc.

[catnapgood]

My personality bends a bit.
I am normally extroverted, but when with newer people I become ambiverted.

Most of the time I'm very bubble, outgoing. Add more people that I am close to, and my loudness will only increase.
Start adding people I do not know well and I will start weighing the things in my head before I say them.
Put me in a room of strangers and I will become an introvert, or at least a keen listener.

I think this is because the people I am close to understand me and my way of usually perverse, or startling speech. If I do not know someone well I try my best to not put them in a state of shock. Frankly, I try to be polite in front of strangers.

[scattered blossoms]

Introvert.

I can only stand being around one person at a time, I'd rather be doing things by myself and am content with the goings-on in my head.

[Pocketed Crumbs]

I think I may be an Ambivert. I'm very quiet and love to be alone, but when I'm forced to interact with others, I can come out of my shell and speak openly with them.

[Everlasting Radiance]

I tend to be pretty extroverted, but there are situations (particularly around people I don't know at all) where I'm an introvert.

[Shinobi-no-kitsune]

I am an introvert. Generally I just do not like to be around people, aside from a few friends and I really don't like working with people, I prefer to do things by myself. I especially get uncomfortable around groups of people I don't know and I feel much more comfortable being around animals.

INTROVERT, EXTROVERT, DOESN'T MATTER!

You forgot ambivert. It does matter. If you bothered to read what people have posted, it has helped some people. Also, you have to realize that depending on the society it can be very hard on people. It's important to know who you are hun.
