I'm surprised at how many people I know are surprised that I'm introverted. For most, their definition of introversion means quiet, shy or reserved, a loner, so there is a little ignorance there. Others, though, say that, based on my social interaction they are surprised at my I-ness. I guess because I am not the typical introvert in a lot of respects- in that I don't mind a large party, being the loudest, and all of that, etc, but it's unmistakeable when the next day, or even later in the day, I want to be ALONE! LOL. I'll go lock myself up in my house, in my room- not wanting to talk on the phone or txt or email, until I've had some time to 'recharge'.
I wasn't sure that I was introverted for sure until I recognized that about myself.
Anybody else so close to that I/E line that they are mistaken for extroverts?
Definitely and I'm nowhere near the "border" to introvert. I just spend most of my energy trying to read people. I'm certain only my intimate friends are aware that I'm an extravert.
I have heard it said though, that ENFPs are the most quiet of extraverts.
I had someone call me a "people person" once. I was never more offended.
This made my evening
