    My extroverted friends and family members simply just don't get it when I prefer to forgo going out and just stay in my room. I don't really feel the need to meet new people, although I can be quite social when I mingle with familiar people. So I consider myself as an introvert. So how about you? Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

    I'm an introverted person, and I'm ok with it. I prefer to be alone most of the time, and I enjoy my own company :roflmao: I was lucky enough to find someone who happens to be an introvert; both of us can socialize very well and be charismatic when we need to, but socializing can be such a drain for both of us. We need to ''recharge'' after that.

    Yeah, I can so relate to what you're saying. What is your zodiac sign if you don't mind me asking? Because water sign people are prone to that "drained" feeling after socializing.

    I am an Introvert for sure. I know I'm an Introvert for sure because I prefer it to be raining outside then to be sunny. I guess i like the rain because it allows me to stay inside with a legitimate excuse!

    I'm an introvert. If I had to make the decision to go to a party or spend an evening at home by myself, I would stay home. However, my family never stops bothering me about this and keep trying to convince me to go out more often.

    LOL, it's funny you said that... because my zodiacal sign is Pisces; a march girl right here :D My chinese sign is the rabbit :) My boyfriend is Taurus, and his chinese sign is the dog, I think. Not sure he feels that same drain I feel after socializing, but I do know he hates talking on the phone, lol :D What about you?

    I'm definitely more of an introvert. I like to keep to myself mostly. I don't know, I have always been like that and I never was too sociable.

    No wonder you feel drained, I'm a Pisces too like you! My chinese sign is the ox though. Do you like to talk on the phone though? When I was younger I did, but now that I'm already an adult, not anymore. Boys in general don't like to talk on the phone right? And I've never seen a talkative Taurus yet, they seem all laid back, don't you think?

    I'm an introvert practically to the point of being antisocial. I do prefer to spend a lot of my time alone. Unfortunately a lot of people think that because I don't talk much and like to spend time alone means that I hate them, which is hardly true. I do have some anxiety, though, which contributes to the not-talking-much thing.

    Oh that must be hard if you have social anxiety, I think that can disappear though if you get used to socializing with people, and after quite some time, the anxiety will be gone.

    Basically I am also an introvert. I always prefer to stay in my room rather than going for an outing with my friends. This doesn't mean I don't socialize but I love to be introvert in most of the time.

    I am not the social type either. If someone asks me if I want to go to a party or stay at home, I almost for sure prefer stay at home. I do have to go out a bit though because my wife loves parties...

    I guess I'm introverted. I say that because I've never had very many friends. I was always hanging out with my brother and working on cars. When I didn't do that there was a time I worked all week then saw my girlfriend on the weekends. I think I might be changing though, I feel more outgoing then I used to.

    I see, sorry for the confusion, it's just that names ending in A are usually feminine, like Antonia, while names ending in O are masculine, like Antonio. :)

    I'm an introvert. At any given time, I've always only had a handful of close friends that I hang out with and keep in touch with. Also, I don't like to be around peope 24/7. I need my time to myself throughout the day, otherwise I start getting really stressed out and snapping at those around me. It's sort of funny, because I have other friends who are the exact opposite and practically have a nervous breakdown if they are alone for 5 minutes.

    Your avatar is quite ok in my opinion, I think that avatars in general are quite androgynous, with the exception of your own face and flowers, obviously. lol.

    I'm on that thin line between being an introvert and an ambivert. I want to stay home and do my own thing but once my friends ask me out. I'm out in a minute. I'm not the one who'll ask them out though.
