Are you a people-person or a loner?
 

...or maybe both?
With my job I interact with students and staff nearly every minute 5 days a week, but when I need to unwind I need to be by myself. Even tho I love my family and friends and my job, I am pretty ok being a loner.

neither or both. . . not sure.

That's a damn good question, and I have to say that, by and large, I have always been a loner. And I like it.

But I have a wife and child, and friends and co-workers in my life......however, my alone time is extremely important to me, and I do not try hard to "socialize" with groups of people, generally.

This might partially explain my presence here, hahaha......or maybe not.

i mind my own biz

I am very clearly a people person. I love everybody, and everybody loves me.

Kind of oscillate between the two.

a bit of both, depending on the situation, but i've been gravitating toward being a "people-person" in recent years.

working alone from home has taught me that i'm a huge extrovert.

i'm a people person when i'm with the right people...

but i need loads of "me time."

even split. every time I take a test I come up 50% introvert, 50% extrovert. makes for a good dj - I can control the whole room and say very little except for taking requests.

I come up 50% between right and left brain too.

both.

I don't like people and I don't like to be around people but for some reason people love me and cling to me, so who knows. I'm the most popular loner of all time.

both. i love being around people i like, i hate being around people i dislike, and from time to time i need to lock myself away and get my head in order.

dig the sig

loner, pretty much. or an individualist, better said.

Just like me.

I really can't stand most people. life is more peaceful without the cacophony of intruding thoughts.

next stop: the hermitage.

Another point about myself, because this thread is such a great example of communal individuality, is that I've almost always had a very small ground of friends (though the cabals have changed almost always in relation to school). But this tendency to few close friends has never been anything that I've consciously willed. Even when I attempted to break this down and be friendlier generally, nothing would come of it. It is with them, the small group (7 to 10 people), that I move into society and move out of it given my mood.

if you start being friendlier, in going to be so disappointed.

:(

Well great you just broke the individuality chain by replying to me. Totally pissing on the lovely painting. Hope you're happy.

But I think friendlier is the wrong word, maybe more socially engaged. Friendliness can be creepy sometimes.

This pretty much sums it up.
