Introverted.

I was recently at a large conference with several coworkers and bosses. I had no problem standing up in front of an audience and saying what I had to say, but I really didn't say much to anyone, socially. One of my bosses later commented that he would never have imagined that I'd be shy socially, as I apparently have no problem barking out orders and instructions, and casually chatting, in the office.
 
Introverted does NOT mean shy. It's considered to be where "your source of power comes from"... Extroverted people get "charged up" via interaction with other people and the world around them, while Introverted people get that "charge" by being alone, from their own thought processes...(just discussing this now in Psych class) Personally, I can deal with people as I need to, but being around large groups of people "sucks the life out of me", and I have to get away to recharge...small groups of people I know well isn't an issue, but ~10 or more starts to drain me.
Hermit FTW! 😉
 
Would we consider ourselves e-extroverted since we spend our days posting on a net-forum (some of us also play MMO games and have the same nature) and it may be seen as invigorating to ourselves... yet in the "RL", we may prefer solitude over other social actions.

I assume you're including money you pay for a meal plan in that or something, because $700 is not $100 less than $550.

For the campus apartments, a meal plan is not required.

I neglected to say how much I would be paying for an apartment - about $450. A 1 bedroom place will easily suffice for me. $450 can get me a nice 1BR apartment. This gives me my very own apartment for less money than I'm paying now, with the ability to have an Internet connection that does NOT have this damn 2GB/week limit, or horrendous lag and packet loss.

Most definitely introverted. I'm far from socially inept though, and it's unfortunate that most people associate introversion with it.

Pretty much, but if people I don't know are friendly and cool to talk to, I'll open up right away.
 
I speak when required/necessary. In normal day to day situations I don't go out of my way to engage in discussion.

By every textbook definition I'm an introvert.

You can let everyone know how you are extroverted, or you can emo your way out of this thread.

Me? I'm extra-verted 🙂

Edit: Someone told me to add a "pole" so I did 😛

Hi!

I'm spidey. Just another guy on the Intarweb. But do tell me about your newsletter. I would like to sign-up! At the same time maybe we can form a sports club or something? I'll start it. Thanks for following.

I used to have TONS of friends and socialize like crazy - then it got annoying and I no longer feel the need to make new friends or hang with every person I know.

Got 4 or 5 people and I think I'm good - unless they all move out of town. I guess I'm socially capable (there was a point when my phone just wouldn't stop ringing) but I no longer choose to be like that.
 
MMPI said that I was half-and-half

It honestly depends on the situation. Introverted around strangers, in an uncomfortable/awkward/embarassing situation, or when I know I'm out of my league. Extroverted around close friends.
 
Introverted.

I can be much more extroverted when around good friends i know well, but that's the only time that will happen.
Well or when excess amounts of alchohol are involved 😛
