It seems like people who hang out on forums are introverted. Answer yourself these questions first -

Do you feel like you need to be alone a few hours every day?

Do you dislike small talk in big group situations?

Do you ever go out to a social occasion, and at any point wish you were at home instead?

Do other people in real life tire you out?

After an hour or two of being socially "on," do you need to turn off and "recharge"?

Obviously if you say yes to most of these, you're probably introverted. I'm very introverted. But we're not shy, we just don't care for other people's company.

Most of this is directly taken from this interesting article below :

I actually am really introverted but in the past few weeks that has really changed and I've been extremely social. Its almost as if I have a completely new outlook on life and its great.

Yea, I'm social in spurts. But if I start hanging out with people every other day, I have to take a serious break.

yeh I love a time to relax on the computer by myself and sometimes Id just rather watch a simpsons dvd or play xbox then go to a friends house. But also I would go mad if I didnt have my friends or a socila life.

Answered yes to all. Though I wish I wasn't so much like this.....but whatever, personality change isn't an overnight process. But then again, occasional solitude is rather nice.

Yea, just because you're introverted doesn't mean you don't have friends or something. I'd be quite popular if I got out more but I'd rather come home and nap. No one (atleast not that I know of) enjoys being always alone.

being introverted doesn't mean you are antisocial, it just means you enjoy some time by yourself occasionally, or like deep conversations instead of small talk, or even that you like to ponder deep thoughts in your free time. an introvert can be the life of the party, they might just want to read a book the next night.

and yes i am one.

I am very introverted myself, although I think the definition the TC gave sucks.

Yes, quite a bit. I'll go out with friends maybe once a month tops. That's enough for me. I already see enough people in school, when I get home I generally consider my time.

You sound like someone that's out for hire for entertainment. If you know what I mean.

No offense.
