I wonder if this introvert/extrovert dichotomy really exists this much or if it’s just psychological astrology. Personally, I find it completely irrelevant to myself, but maybe that’s just me.
I will be extremely extroverted around people I like and extremely introverted around people I don’t like. I can feel recharged by interactions with people I like and discharged by interactions with people I don’t like. Isn’t that obvious?
With strangers it’s all based on my perception of them, derived from their appearance, their context, and any other clues I have.
In groups it’s based on the composition of the group. The percentage of people I like or dislike, and also the context. When I’m alone, I’m perfectly content alone. I love being alone and I love hanging out with my friends.
To be honest, I suspect my situation is how pretty much everyone is. I feel like my friends who describe themselves as extroverts and my friends who describe themselves as introverts are really just doing the same thing as each other and as me. I suspect that people who are very pronounced one way or the other, are doing so out of a self-fulfilling prophecy effect resulting from having decided at some point in the past to conceive of themselves as introverted or extroverted. The same way an astrology fan may unwittingly begin to behave according to their sign stereotype.

Ehhh, I wouldn’t place it at the same level as astrology. I do think people do the self fulfilling prophecy shit with it though.
I thought I was an introvert for a long time so I kind of became an insular hermit for like 5 years of my life after college and then I realized I was horribly miserable at the end of it.
And then when I forced myself to socialize I realized I actually fucking loved it and my introversion was from bad early social experiences due to autism and living in a backwards rural hellhole.
