I feel like I can be an introvert and an extrovert at the same time. It all depends on the social situation I'm in, I think it's the trial and error habit that human being possess. We tend to find out what works and what doesn't since we were young and then go on to behave in that way in similiar situations. Please feel free to share your views...

According to Jungian theory, yes.

golly yes, for I am. I can socialize, connect with people, be witty and downright funny - I am a good friend, and in my profession I am really good at making people feel at ease.
but, man, when I want to be alone and 'walk the walls' just to avoid people - no one is stopping me. I also love to have my private time - with myself, with my son, with my dogs - whatever and take this time very seriously. I also prefer small gatherings to large ones. I do not like crowds - but don't necessarily avoid them.
Do you think this is the same as Type A or B? hmmmm... if so, then I am a mix, but more on the B side

It is completely possible. It is more likely that you are more of an introvert overall. When you are placed in situations that you feel comfortable in, then your extrovert comes out.
I am painfully shy but in any situation related to my work, I come across as highly extroverted. People who know me through my business do not even believe I am shy and people how have seen me in everyday life do not believe that I am outgoing. Such is life.

Yes this is totally possible. We aren't just one person all the time. We have different parts to our personalities that we use at different times to fit in to specific situations. Humans are not just one thing or the other, there are shades of grey and humans are very complex in a simplistic way.
just dont analyze it too much

of course it is.. like you say, it really depends on the situation. For example, being with friends you feel very comfortable with would make you more outgoing.. while at the same time, if you are in a new place wher eyou know no one.. you can naturally be shy. It really all depends I believe.

Absolutely. I'm the exact same way. I agree with ur second statement about it depending on the social situation. In my case, that is so true!

You can be one at a time and another at other time. You cannot be of both. If your situation changes continuously you can be either this or that. Any how, you can be a positive person if you like to be. Think positively and do or say positively. Be bold and courageous. Be truthful. Try to do good to others. You will have peace of mind even if they do not accept,

I think so, just from personal experience though. Like, with my friends and family I'm a little nutters. But around people I don't know I hardly interact at all, and it takes me a long time to get to know people. I suppose it's perfectly normal to be shy but to enjoy attention, you know?

I think so, I'm a very internal person, what is important to me is my internal thoughts and feelings, but i also love socialising and sharing ideas with other people.
your right it all depends on the situation, on your mood, where you are and who you're with.
a lot of peopple are perfectly content when on their own, but are also perfectly content when surrounded by people.

Yes! I find I am that way. If the people pump me up I am with it. If the people are depressive I stay calm and hide out in plain sight lol!
