simply enough: is it possible to be introverted and pretty confident at the same time?

Answer 1

Yes. I think I am a fairly confident person, but if I'm with a group of people I don't know, I will usually be quiet and sort of listen and watch. Or, for example, when we have staff meetings here at work (school, that is, I'm a teacher), although I know my colleagues, I don't usually say much. Just because a person has self-confidence doesn't mean they have to be an extrovert.

Answer 2

Of course! Introverted doesn't necessarily mean that you don't like talking to people or that you are scared to talk to people because you aren't confident. Introversion is a personality trait and its not necessarily stable. People that are introverted generally don't need others company and are more introspective. So you can still be sure of yourself. I actually think people that are more introverted are more likely to be confident about themselves than extroverts. Since extroverts seem to always need recognition and gratification from outside sources.

Answer 3

Oh yeah. There are some environments that
bring out the introvert in you and others that make you feel confident. Depends on the ambiance.

Answer 4

Sure. A person might be uncomfortable with other people, yet very confident in their own area of expertise. I am pretty good with quantum physics, but not so hot in the social world, so I keep to myself. (Except for HERE, of course)

Answer 5

Sure, who says you can't be both confident and disdainful of human nature simultaneously? I am confident and naturally extroverted, but I have learned to shun people in general because, generally speaking, they aren't worth the effort.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Most definitely. I'm that way.

Answer 8

Absolutely!
I am proof of it!
