1. Alone Time

When you have free time, you'd rather spend it on your own. This could mean reading a new book or listening to music. This alone time is important for your well-being but that doesn't mean you don't occasionally enjoy social get-togethers.

2. You Don't Volunteer Opinions

Introverts don't tend to volunteer in public situations and it's likely that they won't volunteer their opinions either. People high in introversion will keep their views to themselves and let the noisy extroverts take control.

3. Headphones in Public Places

As an introvert, you're not really seeking a great deal of contact with others. Years ago, if you wanted to avoid interacting with strangers, you would keep your head down and look straight in front of you. Now, you're able to hide behind the protection of your headphones. Who says the music even has to be on?

4. You Don't do Confrontation

If you see somebody who seems upset about something, you'd rather stay clear from that person. Introverts are more sensitive to potential negative evaluations, so hanging out with someone who's in a bad mood doesn't make sense!

5. You Don't Really Reach out

Being an introvert doesn't mean that you talk to yourself all day. It just means that you don't usually reach out to your social circles. Instead, you just react to the communications that you get from others. That's why you have more calls/texts/emails than you even send.

Extroversion: If that didn't sound anything like you, you might be an extrovert. Here are some signs that point to that:

1. You Love to Talk

Not only do you enjoy talking to friends, family members, and co-workers, you also love to strike up conversations with total strangers. Meeting people and learning about their lives is one of your favorite things to do. Extroverts tend to have a wide circle of friends.

2. Socializing Energizes You

For extroverts, social interactions are refreshing and they actually gain energy from such exchanges. When you have to spend time alone, you often begin to feel uninspired. If given a choice between spending time alone and spending time with other people, an extrovert will almost always choose to spend time with a group.

3. You're Very Open

Extroverts are usually very open to sharing their thoughts and feelings. People find it really easy to get to know you and think you're super friendly.

4. Problem Solving

Whenever you encounter a problem, you solve it by discussing it. Talking about it helps you explore the issue in depth and figure out which option might work best.

So, which one are you? Keep in mind that this isn't an all or nothing thing. You could very well be an Ambivert, a person whose personality has a balance of extrovert and introvert features.
