How many of you feel your introversion is linked to your fear of what others think about you?

For me, if I'm in a positive mindset, feeling confident, my introvert recedes. If I start wondering/worrying what people think of me - introvert's back!

I often am more sociable and outgoing when I'm feeling upbeat and not feeling self-conscious and worrying about what other people may be thinking of me.

That's me...

I can't tell you I need to think about this for a week or so.

Not quite so bad as I have gotten older ... but when I was younger, I got lots of insults and ridicule and I let it get to me. Being introverted comes naturally, as I can still be afraid that others think I am trash. But getting older helps.

No, introversion & what people think of me are completely separate.

Not me... I'm introverted when I'm in a bad mood...

I am actually more out going when I am in a bad mood , as I don't care so much about what others might make of me . I already feel melancholic , and so there is nothing anyone can do to get me any more down . And if anyone were to try to start something a I would feel not as hesitant to have it out with them .

I honestly do not care what people think of me anymore. I don't need to impress anyone or change who I am to please others. I am me, accept it or get out of my life. ?

I think I'm mostly introverted because a lot of people only talk about other people. "Omg, did you hear what Karen's nephew's son did?" No, and I don't care. I was also taught as a kid to not interrupt people when they're talking and since some people never shut up, I stay quiet.

@jvenus Yes, that too. I hate it.

My insecurities are separate from my introversion.

I think I'm an introvert because the human race is the sewer of the universe

You can be an outgoing introvert. You can be an extroverted homebody too. The best way I've heard it described is that if you're introverted you use alone time to recharge and if you're extroverted being around people invigorates you.

Personally I can be very social but interacting with a lot of people, especially new people, is exhausting. A small get together with a few people is fine but a party with a house full of people drains me. I feel like it's just the amount of stimulation of it all is what zaps my energy.

That's me! I need to recharge with solitude. Small gatherings with good conversation. I HATE PARTIES!!! ?

I don't know. I feel like that's more of a shy personality than introvert. I think the introvert has no interest in pleasing the masses and therefore wouldn't really care what others think.

I think from reading all the comments here I would call myself a shy introvert. Shyness from bullying/teasing as a child and introvert from having a quite household that is peaceful and relaxing. Recharges the batteries.

I don't worry at all what others think. But I do prefer alone time.
