I disagree. An introvert can be just as self-confident as an extrovert. The fact that they need to spend time alone to recharge isn't a reflection of how self-confident they are.

I'm an introvert but you would never guess. I'm as bubbly and outgoing as the best of them, but every personality test labels me introvert because I not only love spending time alone, I need it. People are draining. Sometimes, you need to spend some quality time with your best and oldest friends: books. I don't think it has anything to do with confidence.

OK people seriously. If you want to discuss Jungian psychology...then at least know that there is a third label called ambiversion. That is what most of you people are trying to describe yourself.

On these tests...I always come out 100% extravert. I like being the center of attention...deal with it in your brooding corners.

Didn't you say that introverts can't be as self confident as extroverts? That was the part I didn't agree with.

It seems like some people still think introverts don't like being around people and that if you have a bubbly personality, then you must not be an introvert. But that's not true. Introverts will want to go hang out with their friends just as much as extroverts and if they're at a party, they won't just sit in the corned. The difference is that, after a while, the introvert will be tired and ready to go home whereas the extrovert will still feel like hanging around.

I think a quiet introverted kid must have stolen Sizzle's lunch money in elementary school. I can't imagine why else he'd have such a hangup about introverts.

People with low self-esteem need to tear down others in order to feel good about themselves.

See this is yet another straw man. You make a claim that I don't have self esteem, to try and refute the fact you have no Jungian Philosophy knowledge.

I thought we were friends. I wanted to make you aware of your errors so you don't like foolish.
