And some do both. To limited extents. As in, I can take this much recharge from people and this much from my alone time. It's really a matter of numbers, although the numbers are variable over time.
- rooshdi 14y agoIt varies person to person, but I find that some people are more "extroverted" in certain contexts and subjects which interest them, while others are more "introverted" in topics which don't hold their interests as much.
- lucian303 14y agoThat is, IMO, the nature of introversion. It is a myth than introverts cannot or hate social situations. While everyone is different, I can speak only for myself. Small talk is the bane of existence. If one has nothing of essence to say, one should shut up. Otherwise, I will find a way to politely (or not) move away to something of interest. I can hold a conversation about software development topic X for probably hours with plenty of energy, yet another conversation about the weather for two minutes drains me more than the former.
