I don't think so. I used to think I was a huge introvert. I'd stay quiet in social situations and being in groups exhausted me. But now I've started to make some deep friendships with people around me, and it's almost the other way. Sometimes I can be so drained from work that I want to call up some friends to hang out, and sometimes I get tired from hanging out and want to go solo for a bit.
I think it's the same as the Night Owl vs Early Bird thing, where I don't think there is a real distinction either. I've experienced a complete shift from staying up until 1am to getting at 5am and now I don't think there's a real personality type associated with either schedule. I can do both fluidly, so I see it just as a lifestyle difference.
- jrgnsd 14y agoAnecdotal evidence, but I find that part of being an introvert is that you have fewer, but deeper, relationships. There might be research / articles to back this up. People are social beings, so both introverts and extroverts need friendships. The difference lies in the quantity and quality.
