You need to be extroverted at times to accomplish great things. You can be content as an introvert, but learning how to be extroverted when the situation calls for it is very important. Also INTP (weak I, strong NTP) and I agree. extroversion is an important skill toi have. As is introversion sometimes I feel, although the virtues of introversion are less voices, for some mysterious reason.  | ||

Being an introvert or extrovert has nothing to do with how you think. For instance if I go to an event that where I am talking with a bunch of people that I don't know, to just stop thinking that I'm an introvert will not make me more comfortable with the situation. | ||

Especially from 16 to 20. Now being older I feel that I'm just more comfortable being a quiet and calm person without being weak and most of those myths really don't apply anymore. I'd say those myths are more about being uncomfortable in your own skin, a general lack of passion or being too stressed about social pressures than they are about being introverted. Give yourself some time to grow and discover those things. Things also get better when being cool for your entourage is no longer being about getting naked and drunk. | ||

Self-dialog is everything. If you think you know a certain thing, you won't look for evidence to the contrary.

I'm implying that these labels and identities lead to rigid thinking and less freedom. | ||

The best way to describe myself would be that I am introverted most of the time, but when I need to be extroverted, then I change gears. I definitely think that trying to categorize people as solely introverted or solely extroverted is really bad, because I know that I am definitely not one or the other. | ||

It's actually even worse when you are trying to network in a field populated by introverts (e.g. academia). Talk about some of the most cringe-worthy, awkward conversations in your life. Not awkward in subject, but just awkward in flow. | ||

Unless you have other people telling you that you're quiet, I don't think you can consider yourself an introvert. You may PREFER to be alone, but if you socialize normally (outwards), I think you're more half and half. | ||
