Posted: 1/26/09 at 2:55amWho has more fun, introverts or extroverts? Not who APPEARS to have more fun, but who do you think does?

Posted: 1/26/09 at 10:55amExtroverts, just because there are so many occasions when you have to be comfortable in company. My best friend is really shy, and she's miserable whenever we're in a big group. Extroverts don't necessarily feel scared and uncomfortable when they're by themselves.

Posted: 1/26/09 at 10:57amExtroverts think extroverts have more fun and introverts think introverts have more fun.

Extroversion and introversion are not synonymous with outgoing and shy. There are shy extroverts and outgoing introverts.
I consider myself an outgoing introvert. I'm fine in social settings. I really enjoy them, in fact. But I need my alone time to get my energy.

Calvin, that's me to a tee. I grew up an only child and really REALLY need my "Me Time." I love being around people and especially making new friends, but sometimes I find myself opting to lounge on my chaise and read a good murder mystery, to get my strength back up for the next outing or party.

Posted: 1/26/09 at 1:01pmI know thats right!
#9re: Who has more fun?
Posted: 1/26/09 at 2:32pmI don't know... I'm really outgoing and I love doing social things, but so many of my hobbies are things that I do alone, and when I'm at home, I really do like being left on my own. So I don't know which one I am. I've always thought I'm an extrovert, but I like to do a lot of introverted things.

Posted: 1/26/09 at 2:36pmInteresting ... I'm totally a shy extrovert. If you know me, you can't shut me up. But put me in a room with more than 10 people and I will sit in the corner and whimper.

Posted: 1/26/09 at 2:42pmIntrovert or extrovert, it's the ones who are financially secure who have the most fun. They have enough disposable money to do as they like but don't have so much they are completely out of touch with the realities that most people face, nor are they too paranoid to interact with ordinary people.

Interesting, I always knew I was an introvert, but when I'm with the right people, I'm not.
Actually, being a very shy person, I'd say that I have fun because I can get away with murder because nobody would ever expect it from me. Yeah, I've done some pretty bad things that I never got caught for because nobody would believe I ever did them.

Schmerg, it all boils down to what you need more than what you like.
Which of these would be more excruciating to you? A week stuck in a hotel room by yourself, with plenty to read, television to watch, activities to do, etc. but absolutely no one to talk to? Or a week stuck in a hotel room with a few close friends during which you can never get out of one another's sight?
#14re: Who has more fun?
Posted: 1/26/09 at 2:56pmAgh, I feel like I need equal amounts of both! But no contact with ANYONE would probably make me rip my own ears off. That's why I love the internet; I'm one of those people who constantly has to... I don't know, communicate in some way.

At this point in my life, I'd give my left boob for just one night alone in a hotel.

Well, then you probably are a mix of both, Schmerg. 
It's more of a spectrum than an either/or thing, anyway.

All I know is blondes totally don't have more fun. This statement is erroneous.
According to the Myers-Briggs test I had to take last week for a business class, I'm an extrovert (although this does have a slightly different meaning for Myers-Briggs)...but like so many others here, I also need my alone time, mostly because I can get really annoyed with people really quickly. But usually I'm loud, obnoxious and love meeting and being around people.
Edited because I can't spell.

Blondes DEFINITELY have more fun.
The statement is simply true.

Well, in that case, while you are having fun, Brunettes will always be better. :p I'm just kidding. I used to have a shirt that said "Brunettes Are Best."
#24re: Who has more fun?
Posted: 1/26/09 at 5:05pmThere's no answer to the question, because there are introverts who have lots of fun, extroverts who don't, and vice versa.
