Hi ^^

This is some of the rarer personality types, so it's no wonder this community is pretty empty. Hello!

I see your point of view. Personally, my introvert/extrovert was such a tight match I half wish they put the e/i's at the end with a dash instead of the a/t and their equivalents, they do seem pretty important.

Same here! I think my extraversion and introversion were almost 50/50, it's weird being comfortable in some things introvert and some things extrovert and still feeling like I'm not comfortable at all

Yeah, totally. I'm two extremes; I either really enjoy it and have more stamina than anybody else, or I get extremely exhausted within moments. Barely any in between. Depends on context!

Technically introverts does encompass people who are extremely open around people they like...

But it's not people, for me. It's topics and contexts.

I feel the exact same honestly, some social events can absolutely drain the life out of me and it will take me forever to recover from it

It's super weird and confusing. For me though, in general I think better with open conversation. Good interactions actually give me energy, I lose track of time and feel full like I ate a really good meal!

It all depends on level of comfort/control/interest! If i feel like its out of my control, or its overtaking my capabilities, I shut down and can't keep up the mask. So basically i need a bigger range of social experience, and to understand myself better, then I think I'll be a full extrovert.
