Am I an introvert?

Question

I'm not big on talking at all. I don't start conversations, in person or on the phone. I really don't like going out to parties and stuff with my friends, they always try to drag me out of the house. I like to be by myself alot but I don't get lonely or bored, I just get lost in my thoughts and basically my imagination takes me where ever I want to go. I used to always sit way in the back in school and I just like to chill by myself alot of the times. I mean, I can talk and laugh just like everybody else, especially if it's something interesting but I'm not entertained like I am with myself. I tried to be talkative and outgoing at one point just to shut my friends up but I did NOT feel comfortable with that at all and I felt like I was ignoring myself. So, does this sound like an introvert to anybody who knows it? Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Yes.
and probably some people call you weird.
but there's nothing weird or wrong with being introverted.
you have a rich imagination and probably a talent writing, drawing or painting.
You sound like a INTJ (Introverted Intuition with Extrverted Thinking) person.

Answer 2

Yup, that's introverted. I'm a bit the same, though I think I enjoy other people a bit more than you do. It's not a bad thing to take pleasure in your own company or to be uninterested in parties. I don't recommend neglecting your friends, but don't pretend you're a party animal for their sake, either.

Answer 3

Wow, sounds a lot like me. Yes, that sounds like a classic introvert. If you were extroverted, you would be comfortable with being outgoing and more talkative. Extroverts like hanging out with large crowds, while introverts tend to prefer solitary activities.

Answer 4

Definition,

First is there anything wrong with introverting? No I don't think so as long as you are comfortable being alone. If you are denying yourself other peoples company then yeah it is a problem. You need outer people to define the feelings and interactions that you feel with others. Even Emily had a few people who visited her and defined what she was looking for, even though she never ventured past her own window. I have not fit in with others. Square peg round hole. The thing is, I don't want to round my edges I just want someone to accept me for what and who I am. I have always accepted people for who they are without trying to change them. At least I believe I have.
