Thread: Introvert or Extrovert?

Introvert and socially awkward. Dunno what to say. Don't get their jokes and they don't get mine. They probably find me boring. I'm the opposite when I'm with my sisters though.

Around friends I'm an extrovert I'd say. Around complete strangers, I'm Socially Awkward Penguin. During my 4 years of college so far, I've made 4 good friends, just because they were roommates of mine. I love those guys now, don't get me wrong. But I don't converse with anyone at college.

I can be both, but I lean more towards being an introvert. When I am around people I know well and am comfortable with, I can be a mega-extrovert; I joke around A LOT (too much sometimes) and kinda fire from the hip. But when I am in larger social situations where I don't particularly know a lot of people, I am more introverted. Don't speak less ye be judged. =P Besides, half the time I get in convo with people I don't know well, I really could care less what they are blabbering about and can't wait for it to end. One thing that has always annoyed me is I feel that I am very conscious when I am speaking of whether the listener is interested/engaged in what I am saying or not. That being said, I really get irritated when someone is talking my head off, and I am giving body language cues/taking a step away every few sentences trying to back off/etc and they absolutely cannot read that and carry on with their babble. UGH.
