QED I await your verdict.

Am I an extrovert or introvert?
A serious point to ponder—
Who is an extrovert? Someone who is outgoing or gregarious. Could be more concerned with external reality than inner feelings?
Who is an introvert? Someone who is shy? A person more concerned with his or her own thoughts and feeling?
I think I’ll take stock.
Extroverts are:
Interested in what is happening round them~ I am
Are open and talkative ~open — no, talkative –Yes
Compare their own opinions with others ~sometimes
Like action and initiative ~yes
Easily make new friends or adapt to a new group ~ adapt to a new group yes. Real friendship (the thick and thin, sick and sin kinds no)
Say what they think ~ sometimes
Introverts are:
Are interested in their own thoughts and feelings~definitely
Need to have own territory ~ very much
Often appear reserved, quiet and thought ~ no way I always give the impression being a scatterbrain, lost and spaced out.
Do not have many friends ~ “friends very few” but cheer crowd immense
Have difficulty in making new contacts ~ no way
Like concentration and quiet ~ very very much.
Do not like unexpected visits therefore do not make them ~ of course not I like the surprise element.
Work well alone ~ not necessarily.
Now what, the diagnosis is still questionable.
If I were to take Audrey Hepburn as a model then I am an introvert, I love being myself, being outdoors, taking a long walk,(not with my dogs, I don’t own them I hate them) talking to the birds, looking at trees, flowers, the sky.
I agree with Michael Fassbinder when he says words like introvert and extrovert are various traits of a personality. A lot of stuff we use in drama school to define characters, the heroes and heroines are classified by these traits.
Like Roger Moore I find it difficult to enter a restaurant alone, — I need a book!
