Hey guys. This is probably something I should now already but I'm always changing my perception of what I am, so I was hoping y'all could help me.
I'm sociable and talk A LOT (people always say I need to work on shutting up at work or when I was in school), and I open up to new people very quickly. If I want to, I know I can make someone feel like we've been friends forever. But on my own time I almost never want to make plans with people because I enjoy dedicating my free time to all my personal projects, and most people are just a distraction. I would say personal development is much more important than relationships, hence why I'm a fucking bore at parties.
For that reason I can't say I have a lot of close friends. I have a few that can deal with my long periods of detachment, but I definitely go through phases where I meet someone, I'm super into them and see them all the time, and then somehow we fizzle and I don't really give them the time of the day. I've done that at least a dozen times in the past 3 or 4 years.
Quizzes always type me as an Introvert because I like focusing on my own projects, but to me an introvert is a person dedicated to self-reflection and inward facing energy, which I wouldn't say matches me...I don't spend time alone for myself (FAR from it, I can't even tell you the last time I've analyzed my feelings) I spend time alone because I'm a type A workaholic and I like planning and working towards my personal goals.
What would you type that as? I know some people can go between introvert and extrovert based on the situation but how do you determine what you're more inclined towards?
Anyway, I apologize for the essay. Here a picture of a wombat to thank you for your time.
