I'm not sure whether I'm introverted or extroverted. I'm not sure whether I'd want to be categorized either. However, what I find is that with people I've known a long time I tend to be quite extroverted and chatty; whereas I'm more introverted with people I've only just met. Maybe this just makes me weird...or normal...or something.

I think I could say the same as what Kiya said. Maybe more chatty and so on with people I've known for a while, but safe and cautiously quiet with people I do not know well.

I can vouch for Bose that he's neither introverted or extroverted. he can be very talkative to me, but not over talktative to the point where you're lie "Man, you just love your own voice don't ya?" He seems very gentlemanly as well, as he says it.

I dunno whether I'm intro or ex, guess it depends who I'm with. I suppose I prefer a small group of friends to a large group (though won't a large group consist of small groups?). But like Goa'uld said, if I'm talking for more than about 5 seconds, I can't usually maintain eye contact. (So I generally look away, or stare disconcertingly behind the person )

It's probably at least partly true, about more introverted people coming than ex, and I think there's definately something different about online or forum interaction than RL interaction, which has to have some attraction to people who post here, but seems a bit strange that it would only attract introverted people.

i was thinking about this last night, in conjunction with a lot of 'what have i dont in the last year of me life' and 'who am i' etc etc...

I am, quite naturally, an extrovert. In this past year since moving to sydney, i have a job that allows me to have a LOT of time just websurfing and doing not much at all. The only pages i could be bothered to go to on a regular basis are this one, my email, and my journal.
Outside of this job, i have no life/social group. I live too far away from public transport, or in fact, anywhere, to go out at night or on weekends on my own accord.
The people i work with are not the kind of people that i would befriend in a social situation. I have no interest in joining a 'group' just to form new friendships. I would rather just go home, watch movies, lounge around, play computer games, because its just too draining emotionally/physically/money-wise to make the effort to go out and 'meet' people.
Nearly ALL of my closet, dearest friends i have meet, in part, over the internet. Its not so much that i'm socially inept that i dont know how to 'meet new people' in an originally physical context - i just couldn't be bothered. I dont know anything about them. they dont interest me. I dont 'cold call' new friendships, ie: go to a pub just to try and meet someone new. blurgh. At least the internet is a SAFER way to meet people...
So, having spent a year like this, i'm quite happy to not talk, not interact, avoid people and social situations. I guess i've *become* an introvert.

But get me amoungst my friends in Brisbane and i've the biggest mouth you could image on a chick. I'm not shy. I'll flirt, talk, bitch, banter with anyone i come across.

So. maybe 'personality' is environmental?

Maybe the internet is where i can keep this 'extroverted' personality, that is currently in hiding, alive and thriving as i 'socialise' with my friends (ie: you guys) in a familair, comfortable and stimulating environment.

Figure that one out, aye?

I... er... don't necessarily think online extroversion (vs. "real-life" extroversion) is introversion!

It's just a different form of it with different risks (and degrees of), but the willingness to "share" about yourself is what determines introvert vs. extrovert.

I, personally, was pretty much a complete on-line and almost complete introvert IRL until about a year ago.

Most of my older e-mail accounts and online ID's don't even have my real name or have intentionally incorrect info.

Now, I'm pretty open on-line and even more open to a select few on-line. Off-line, I'm now a bit of an extrovert though I have little forum (for practical reasons) to practice off-line.

So...

An introvert here would be the people who read the articles, maybe argue a point on logical or observational grounds.

An extrovert is the one who lets us know when they blow there nose...
