Hi I'm new here.
I used to think I was an extrovert but now I realize that either I am an introverted extrovert or possible a slightly extroverted introvert. Anyway I often look at my phone when it is ringing and say "no" and sometimes don't return the call for a week.

yes I do think that you could be correct. Also I can move either way on the scale at certain times but mostly stay on the introvert range.
Hello & welcome. Its introverts so don't expect a lot of chit chat
BTW, I'm the same way with the phone, not just because of being introverted. You'd have to be crazeee to answer phone from numbers you don't recognize. If it's someone one I want to talk with they'll leave a message.

It's a really interesting dynamic. I go line dancing a lot. Line dancing is great cause you can do it ALONE. I keep my conversations there as pleasant and brief as possible and then escape to the dance floor. The people there think I'm friendly and outgoing, but that's because they can't read my thought bubbles

I get it. I'm that way too. For me if I am with one friend I can have a great conversation if it is 2 or more people with me, I let them do most of the talking and I just listen and make notes.
Hi, IE or EI. I was similarly confused during my teens. A series of experiences during my 20s, 30s and 40s persuaded me the mixup was a result of shyness and high IQ. I made it to 88 and it’s a story too long, detailed and exciting to tell here, but you’ll have to do it your own way and I hope you do.

Welcome!
Perhaps you fall more on the ambivert portion of the continuum?

I shall have to look into that and report back
@Harmish1 I went online to take the ambivert quiz. I was fine until they asked for my name and email so they could contact me. So I had to stop right there.
@AmelieMatisse
No worries - it’s really more about how you relate with those around you than what a book says.
We've all done that. Welcome to the group. You'll fit right in

thanks. I notice we have similar hair - that's a good start LOL
@AmelieMatisse We do! It's an introvert thing
@TheoryNumber3 Yes, the quiet look
@AmelieMatisse This is why I can could never be an introvert.
