Ok, i'm introverted.

**zief** · 04-30-2009, 09:21 AM

I decided to change the e back to i in the intp.
I have been trying to figure out whether i was introverted or extroverted.
I just don't like talking to people other than my girlfriend. They're annoying, but i get depressed when i dont talk.
*sigh*

Since i got a gf, i seem to be talking even less to other people. Don't see much need for people other than her.

Actaully thats perfectly normal for most IXTX...we feel the need to express out thoughts but do not like the naunces of conversation. We tend to concentrate on you person too instead of a crowd.

Doesn't mean you're introverted according to MBTI. I don't like talking to people who bore me or about subjects that don't interest me but I am very much energised by external things.

helped me, it’s not MBTI but I found looking at E v I a lot simpler with Socionics (they define it differently). In terms of outgoing, loud, talkative etc, I’m not and I still question INTP vs ENTP (mostly cause my P doesn't like concrete) but looking at that list I’m clearly on the Extraverts side. Ne is not a very extraverted function and ENTPs often do not need to be around other people.

yes, just because you feel the need to talk to someone, doesn't make you extroverted. The fact that you want to talk to only someone you're close to is a natural trait for an introvert. I like to make deep, meaningful relationships with all my friends. When around friends, I'm very sociable. When I'm around acquaintances, however, I'm very quiet.

Yes, everyone needs some social interaction; I think many extreme introverts want at least one trusted friend in whom to confide.

It's funny. I do well with one or two close friends, or with groups of reasonably intelligent acquaintances. I fall apart completely around large groups of people I know well. It's easiest to talk in a classroom discussion, or around complete strangers.

I have a lot of friends, I'm a good speaker, I have no hard time interacting socially. But i'm an introvert. Being a introvert, in simple terms, is being more inside your mind than outside it.

Thanks everyone, this information you gave me and the link Elfrun gave me helped me come to the conclusion that i am indeed an introvert. Sounds exactly like me.

Wow I am the same way. I am always the first to speak up in class discussions, and I'm pretty comfortable on a stage. But put me in a party with twelve people I know well, and I'm a church mouse. I'm not sure why, but I find it easier to communicate with friends one at a time. ^^
