I'm a moderate introvert, meaning that I can be both the social person with friends and the alone person, but with friends I do better one on one or small groups than big groups, and I come away from group things drained, whereas I "recharge" by being alone.

Introvert. But I like having my close friends around, just not a very actively social person, I hate crowds!

"...extroverts do not understand introverts..."

I'm very much an introvert. I prefer to be alone, though I can have fun in small groups and with SOME people one-on-one. If I'm in large groups or around a pushy, loud person for too long, I get really anxious and mad and nervous and all that other fun stuff. And like N1ghthawk said, I avoid parties and any kind of social event like the plague. I used to think I might have social anxiety disorder, but I've just kind of come to terms with the fact that I don't like socializing.

Question:

Do you think that an extroverted and an introverted person work well together in a relationship, kinda like balance each other out?

In my expereince, they do but what do you guys think?

Most relationships are formed from similarities rather than differences. I believe an outgoing person would have more fun, or enjoy his/herself more with another outgoing person, as would an introverted person rather a "quieter" type person.

thanks for the explanations. i always wondered what the differences were....

aaaanyway!! id be more of an introvert i guess. especially if theres more than one person in the same room.
then theres times when i dont shut up. ahem!

i need to be really really comfy with that person though...

Hmm. I know lots of (married) couples who are both very outgoing and extroverted, but when I think about it, I don't know of any couples in which both people are very introverted. I don't have any experience in an actual relationship, but I am consistently more attracted to guys opposite of me in that respect (extroverted). *shrug*

Extrovert/introvert tend to marry more than introvert/introvert or extrovert/extrovert do. The novelty of being with the opposite personality type is an attraction for some reason. However, that also leads to a lot of misunderstanding in relationships. For example, an introvert may want to be alone for a little while away from his/her partner. The extrovert may think that he/she is the problem or did something wrong when the introvert is really only simply being an introvert.

I'm an introvert when I'm by myself. When I'm with people I'm not worried about goofing up or doing something stupid... It just comes natural anyway.
I'm an extrovert that doesn't talk too much... Except when I'm by myself.
I tend to go on and on about the same subjects sometimes... Like one of those things where you just wear out a subject.
I don't know why... I just kinda do whatever...
DO you notice there's a few elipses? Oh, those are the "..." things.
WEll anyways... Where is the "Both, Neither, or one of the First two" choice
Oh well... It doesn't matter...

I'm an introvert (I..guess), but I'm always more attracted to introverts. Extroverted guys are cool friends, but I'm never attracted to them!

The thing with me is that I always think in my mind, "I'm going to marry an introvert girl." But then I always end up attracted to the extrovert girls! It's rather crazy. I guess I don't have any choice. Whoever I'm attracted to I'm attracted to.
