The 4 Types of Introvert - Which one are you?

What comes to your mind when you hear the word: “introvert”? Is it that shy wallflower daydreaming in the social gathering? Or the quiet kid who rarely spoke up in class? But wait! Did you know there is much more that describes an introvert than just their socializing frequency? Or lack thereof! There are even different types of introverts! Who knew, right!
If you consider yourself an introvert or know someone who is, comment which type you related most to.

I'm 25 and I'm an anxious introvert, but also a restrained introvert. I was recently reminded how much anxiety I have being in big social contexts. It was a truly humbling experience as I was brought right back down to earth. I'm always so sensitive about what people think of me and hate to draw attention to myself in public. I sometimes hate being this way.

[@Isabela-uf3dd]

Me too. (I'm not a native English speaker and I'm not using the translator, so sorry if I say something wrong or out of context, I'm practicing) I identify as anxious and restrained introvert. I also hate it. It's something that sometimes I think I can't change it. I get so anxious when thinking about my behavior and cry when I'm alone, because I don't want anybody to see me cry and to think I am a crybaby. Well, I translated the word "crybaby", but only that.

[@benjaminngopwaamos6878]

@@Isabela-uf3dd I understand you (about both the English limitations and the anxiety and fears). It makes it a bit more difficult for me to connect with other people most times. I often wish I can change this about myself, but I remind myself to accept me for who I am first. My best advice will be to not let it trouble you. Just work on making yourself better as a person overall. Add value to yourself, so that you can add value to the people in your life. Also, be around people who make you happy. I truly wish you the very best.

I feel like I’ve got a bit of a mixture. I’m talkative around people I know & feel comfortable around. I don’t do good in large crowds & I’m drained after a party or get together. I would rather be at home most of the time w/ my routine, reading, binge watching shows, etc… I’m definitely a thinker and I’m an observer. It takes my body& mind forever to get aligned, productive, active, motivated daily. I haven’t had real friends since my early 20’s. I’m married & have kids now& my mom. Those are the only people I care to have any sort of long term interactions with. When I got married & had a child before my long time friends, they dropped off like flies. I don’t trust getting close to a lot of people now. I also have a problem with getting use to others. I am who I am, I don’t think I’ll ever change much.

I'm a social introvert. I am not shy, anxious, nor am I afraid to speak up and say what I think or to contribute to topics of interest. In fact, I'm considered one of the more talkative ones in that environment. I'm not afraid to start a social conversation either so will happily strike up a chat with someone I don't know. I am not inclined to small talk though, don't like talking about myself much and I really don't like being in social situations more than an hour or two at most. I find social situations - even ones I enjoy - exhausting after a while. I do need one or two close friends, but do not crave friends by numbers. I spend most of my time alone and am happy to do so. I feel sorry for anyone that is afraid to go into a cafe or shopping without taking someone with them. Funnily enough they probably feel sorry for me for sitting in the corner alone reading a book or my phone.

Thank you! This has been a God send to me. All my life i thought there was something wrong with me, so I'd go to big social gatherings and watch awesome outgoing and interesting people. I memorized their phrases, body language, the way they looked at people, the pitch of their voice- everything. Then people thought i was fascinating and I ended up being president of two museum boards (different years). I was frantic and exhausted. So happy I don't have to apologize for myself anymore and can just quietly do my own thing and say "No" without apologizing.

I think I‘m a mix of all types, with thinking being the most prominent trait and anxious/shy the least prominent. I do enjoy social interactions with close friends, but if I meet new people, I prefer doing so either in one-on-one situations or being introduced into a group by friends. I have a hard time connecting with new-to-me people if I meet a bunch of them all at once and I prefer being forewarned at least 24 hours in advance when there‘s a social gathering of some sort. I recharge on alone-time that I love to spend reading or journalling or doing other hobbies you do alone. Being anxious about how I might be perceived by others was a phase I had in my teenage years but grew out of.

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

[@damlatorun6756]

I’m a mix of social and thinking, closer to social. I enjoy reading and writing, and people like talking to me. It’s just that over the years, people that seemed closer to me, mainly a few friends, just treated me terribly and I think that all piled up inside me and made me a bit more of an introvert.

I would mainly describe myself as a social introvert with elements of thinking and restrained introvert. I do not have many friends, but the few I do have mean the world to me and I can talk to them for hours. I have also found that I do get physically tired if a social situation goes on for too long. But, I also enjoy deep thought and like understanding things. And, immediate activity or spontaneity don't usually sit very well with me. I have recently gotten into solo backwoods camping, and that is where I feel happiest and most relaxed.

Same! I'm mostly #2 and #4, but when I was younger, I was #3 because I also had social anxiety, and when I moved overseas and lost the social anxiety, I was #1 for a bit. Once I moved back home, though, the social anxiety didn't really return, but I still lost my desire to socialize quite as much.

[@j.s.c.4355]

I relate to all four types. I can be social with close friends, but then need to rest. I require preparation before socializing. I can get anxious about prior interactions, wondering how I came across. I spend a lot of time thinking about my favorite subjects. Check, check, check, check.

[@ct3po776]

Was more the shy introvert when young, but as I age I'm more outgoing, but still prefer doing my own thing, so now I can sing in front of people, (now that I've lost my higher range, which I stew over wasting!) but don't talk when I do, just sing and sit down, but for decades I wouldn't even sing in front of people! I talk one on one more than I used to, cause when I was young, when company came over, I'd go in my room and shut the door, and my peers accused me of being stuck-up, cause I didn't talk! For some reason around 47 yrs my mind got tired of being a sheep, and got a touch of not caring what people think, but not completely! All 4 of these sounds like my whole makeup, not individual people, but one can be stronger than the others at times! Many people have accused me of thinking to deeply about things!

Im a Social and Thinking introvert, i love to socialize with people i know best, and still try to with new ones as well, i try and keep many things all to myself and is quite reserve, i do get tired with long interactions or if theres too many people, i like having a small circle for most of the time. I ALWAYS end up day dreaming, or just lost in my imaginations and especially when listening to Musics i always start imagining like a scene that goes with the song, and it is consistent like im just watching an official music video if i happen to listen to it again or replay the song.

[@unpredictableactivity]

I'm easily a mix between social and restrained. I'm social because love talking to my close friends, but it's hard for me to meet new people, and I need alone time in my bedroom quite often. I also like to go and do things with my closest friends. I'm restrained because I don't like change, it's hard for me to get going after I wake up, and I'm comfortable in my routine.

The Social Introvert actually accurately defines my own personality , albeit before , As told by my classmates and other peeps that knew me but arent as close as my friends , i just turn into a totally different person when im not with my friends , like from a loud always laughing , always talking and full of energy to a complete 180 degree when left alone by their friends , silent , evasive and cold , it was their impression of me but in reality im not much of a conversation starter but i wont give you a cold shoulder if we talk , i actually managed to reworked those trait , after being told that whenever i acted that way , im always giving the impression of being unapproachable

I am not at all shy or antisocial either, i just don't do it often.

I'm definitely closest to the anxious introvert. After I talk with my friends, or am back from going somewhere, I rethink everything that happened and everything I said. While also thinking of things I could've said instead of what I actually said. I do this for hours on end and will probably be rethinking why I wrote this comment in the first place. I like being with my friends, but I often dont text them of call them to check up and usually only talk to them when I meet them somewhere or I am doing something with them because I dont want to be seen as annoying or nosy. But that ends up with me seeming to ghost them, which I would never want to do. Whenever I see new people, I dont talk, the most usually a quiet hello. In social situations, I usually end up just standing in one place, watching everyone else because I have no one to talk to.
