Man hasn't made anything perfect black or white because maybe the Mind can't be either too. Same goes for gender, one has vestiges of the other and intersexed (Body &/or Mind) ones are a recognized anatomical fact.

I think I'm classed as an introverted extrovert. I'm an extrovert with some introvert characteristics. Or maybe I'm an extroverted introvert? I'm not sure. I'm a bit of both I guess (although those who know me well would probably call me an extrovert).
A bit of both. It depends on my mood. My natural reaction when meeting people is to be quiet and shy but I fight through that. So I'd say I'm a bit of an introvert naturally but I force myself to put myself out there. Ultimately, I think I'm a happier, more confident person for it.
And while I pretend like I am busy with something else, I'm very aware of what's going on in my surroundings. I like to see if I feel like I can trust people before I get chatty (even still I live in my head a lot).
Yep, you need to meet more of them. Not all extroverts are immediately identifiable. I hate loud and obnoxious people of course because they make me feel uncomfortable.
I am an introvert but I can role-play. Just don't know why everyone talks to me when they sit down next to me on a bus. Does anyone else have that experience. Or does no one use buses anymore. I wonder what happens on subways. do strangers talk?
Fact: the internet is largely inhabited by people who don't have very active social lives. Which means that a larger percentage of internet lurkers are introverts.
I grew up an introvert . . . And a selfish-being . . . And more than that; I was actually a Bow-wow!! I was extremely condescending and patronizing to people (mostly girls) . . . And for that I am not proud of how I treated others. It is definitely NOT the way that I was brought up by caring parents; especially, my mom would have been so hurt and disappointed if she only knew how I treated others. I am not like that, today; instead I look up to women and I respect everyone . . . My late wife was hurt when she learned how I was; but I totally changed. I am no longer selfish and introverted . . . I am happy that my late wife, who died from Heart Disease, got to see me being cured and respecting others and much, much more of being an extrovert; prior to her passing.
Aha! Good Question . . . It's not DIRECTLY from Introversion; but it is more of a power thing . . . A Prince who is not satisfied with just only his piece of the Kingdom . . . He wants more. He keeps everything to himself and shares with no one. It is indeed extremism . . . It can be dangerous to anyone who does not do a self-examination and correct it; and that's especially if it lasts over a long period of time. The whole concept of "sharing yourself with others' will help pull you out of the mold.
Introversion doesn't mean you do not share. Maybe you mean shyness. They are not the same. Introverts tend to get quieter the larger the groups are. They are usually pretty good one on one. Introverts tend to draw energy internally and are drained when being around large groups. Personally, I can talk for long periods with one person when we are not around people. But if I go to a party, I become emotionally exhausted. I have a small, intimate group of friends and find it emotionally difficult to maintain any more friends than that.
Absolutely NOT! You have two major problems. The first one is to do is with being totally-totally mis-diagnosed . . . For that, you are NOT guilty . . . That happens. The second one is more of a personal problem; and it might have roots that stem all the way back to someone's (maybe even your own) CLOSET!!! That doesn't mean that you can't be cured. You did right. You brought it out in the open where it belongs. Now, you need to take it to a higher authority. Good luck.
There's a disproportionate amount of introverts online.
t's a myth that introverts dislike people. I am introverted because I process information internally and usually need more time to think, also I do well in solitude. Sometimes people confuse introversion with social anxiety- being from the US (an extroverted culture) it has taken me years to adjust.
I do like many stereotypically 'introverted' activities: reading, writing, drawing, but sometimes I prefer a long walk with a friend of a small social gathering. Balance is the key to achieving a healthy emotional state. For some of us more quiet-time is necessary, but there are people who love to be surrounded by crowds for hours!
Strongly. It tired me to try and be with large groups of people...especially when I don't know them.
I'm INTP for those who know it (on the official test not that online thing)
I couldn't decide! I talk to people and I laugh with people and I come across confident but inside I am SO anxious and scared. I prefer to be alone than to be with people. I guess I have more introvert tendencies than I do extrovert. But I don't think I fit solely into either category. I have that problem a lot, oh well;p

#4 is very true for me.
