Xanga Friendships Part 7
In my last post I asked if those who were socially challenged tended to gravitate to xanga. In the comment box, someone asked about me. Did I make friends easily or with difficulty? Was I an introvert or an extrovert? It is so hard to answer questions like that about yourself. But I had a friend tell me once that I was a megavert. He thought I was outgoing. I think I have always made friends quickly. I am the type though that has a few friends that I pretty much have forever. In other words, I make general and superficial friendships quickly but am slow to make my best friends. I tend to keep those best friends for life.
Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Does that come across in your xanga personality?

Introvert, but it doesn’t really show on xanga. I have some great friends but need time alone also.
And.. . first?
i was the first???!
Best friends for life..those are the best.
extrovert.
– Not sure if it shows…?
Oh..I am an extovert and introvert..if that’s possible.
I love people..and have lots of friends.. but sometimes more than anything I need time alone.
I’m an extrovert….at least in real life….I think it maybe translates to Xanga….I’m not really sure…
Love, Candy
and so many people comented within 3 minutes…
Inrovert. Yes, obviously.
The most introverted can come across as extrovert on xanga. Xanga personalities are what we make them.
i can be both. it depends on who i’m with. and as for xanga personality, i can be more extroverted on there than in real life
* having a handful of true friends is a rare jewel.
very much an extrovert, and yes I think it does apply
I am a jackal, and eat the entrails of my “friends” , so introvert, I guess.
i’m told i’m an extrovert, so i guess he’s right
Kelly
but i do need time alone…or i get crabby
I’m an introverted extrovert
i have no clue!
a little bit of both depending on the situation. i think i’m more introverted tho. too much sensory stimulation annoys me (except for the good kind
) it comes out in my xanga cuz i’m always on it for one. i’m supposed to go to this show tonight and i really wanna go, but part of me just wants to stay home and chill.
i’m VERY particular about my close friends. i can make lots of superficial friendships, too, but i’m always lookin out for those folks that i feel like i can count on them for the rest of my life. yeah, and that’s pretty hard to find. picky, picky, picky.
Extrovert… I think… at least that’s the way I come across… in xanga and otherwise.
I’m an introvert. Who’s empathic.
Introvert…more jocular on xanga.
I’m definitely an extravert…I just don’t warm up to people quickly. I’m very suspicious of people and have a tendency to not want to be close.
Naturally an introvert with a lot of personality.
It takes time for me to warm up to people and have major trust issues.
I scare people I believe.
I make friends with everyone. Yet, I can’t say that I have close friends. I donno how I come across on xanga. U tell me.
for me it all depends on my surroundings. i can be extremely extroverted or very introverted. i dont think it shows in xanga
I am an extrovert, and I *think* it shows in my blogging habits..?
I am much more extroverted on my xanga than I am in real life. I used to be very extroverted in high school, but college turned me into much more of an introvert.
i’m an introvert… meaning i relax better by being alone. however, i’m very outgoing, and i say exactly what i think. an outgoing introvert. a bit of an oxymoron.
If you’re really interested in knowing whether you are introverted or extroverted, etc. I reccommend the Keirsey Temperment test, the Big 5 test, or the Meyers Briggs test. There are 4 different personality characteristic traits that you are tested for. It’s really quite interesting. Here is a shortened version of the Meyers Briggs, if you are interested in finding out whether or not you are introverted or extroverted. However, introversion and extroversion cannot be determined by the number of friends you have. Some very introverted people have many friends and are thought to be extroverted when they aren’t.
I’m an introvert, but I don’t think that really shows on xanga. People can be completely different in writing and online.
I’m pretty introverted in real life
i think at first an introvert, but can be extrovert….does that make sense?
i’m an extrovert.
i love people.
they’re all so interseting,
and each has a different story///
IRL, I’m kind of extroverted, but very mildly so.
On Xanga (and online in general) I’m an extreme introvert. I don’t make “friends” on the ‘net unless I spend a lot of time on a public forum with them, and even then I tend to be cautious.
I’m both but more extroverted on here
i’m going to answer several of your questions all at once
cause i missed a few today.
I think hell is a state of being that one can be in at any moment. i can be a place in the mind where the “fires” burn and torment of oneself is the worst experience. it’s spiritually and physically and emotionally. you can’t see past that hell your in. no one thinks they are “going” to hell because no one believes they’ll get a terrible disease and die eigther… it’s the “it’ll never happen to me” syndrom. i feel like i’m in limbo right now… between that place of heaven and hell. i could go eigther way. I hear the “calling” of torment/torture in my mind and i also hear the part where i could be free of it all. but it means leaving many other people behind for me. friends that would only remind me of the “hell”. it’s like recovering addicts. You don’t put a recovering addict staying in the same apt with a drug dealer. there has to be much space with no temptation.
i’m an introvert. always have been always will. i like making people laugh though i don’t like people to laugh at me. it’s a fine line. and sometimes i’m like a turtle. performing one moment and hiding in my shell the next.
there’s online dating? i didn’t know.
hard to tell…but sometimes easily seen….
extrovert; i love being with people and talking to them, and i think it comes across on my xanga.
I’m an introvert, and I’m not sure how others on xanga view me. Maybe you can tell me.
Larry
An introvert who is probably a closet extrovert.
introvert slightly extroverted w/ family and friends as for the second question you tell me
I took this test that told me I was on the fence- between extrovert and introvert.
I dont think Xanag is too be taked that serious as too refelt your personality. an as for me. I find I get along beter wid guys tthen grls. [im a grl]
In real life I make friends easily and I have quite a few, but a majority of my personality is quick wit, so on xanga that doesn’t really come across. I seem to make less friends online than I do in real life for that reason, but the friends I’ve made online I’ve kept.
A shy extrovert. ; )
Haha, funny stuff: I just wrote an entire entry about this topic before yesterday.
I would have to say I am an extroverted inrovert. I want to be outgoing but tend to hold something back and tend to be more retrospective. I think this shows on xanga – because I would post more – but then I am not always sure and end up not posting what probably would have been an awesome post. The extroverted part shows up because I love to read everyone’s xanga and leave comments….
introvert…not sure if i’m like that as much online.
I believe I am an introvert. You might be a megavert, but you don’t open up except presumably to those few close friends. That is why it’s easy for you to have hosts of superficial acquaintances, which is good, nothing wrong with that. Personally, I am easily bored with acquaintances and yet not ready to call them “friend.”
extrovert
Myers-Briggs tells me I’m an introvert.
r/t i am shy…
except when i do my public speaking gig.
but if u were to run in to me in the coffeeshop after the presentation
you would wonder..
i am the same as you, with the whole making/keeping friends thing. it takes years to become one of my best, usually.
I’m courteous and friendly, but I’m not overly social in most circumstances. I likewise have a few, long-lasting friends.
Most definitely an introvert.
Nicholas
When I was younger, I was very much an extrovert… I could work a room like no other. But, as I have aged and matured, I have become more introverted and to myself. The main socializing I do is with neighbors and friends from church. It’s all good, though… because I feel more rounded and not so “out there” as an extrovert… putting myself and my feelings on the line all the time. I’ve grown away from that… thankfully!
introvert
I am definitely an extrovert…You tell me if it comes across in my Xanga
Total introvert. Absolutely. Xanga personality? Less so.
I am an extroverted introvert. AKA I’m an introvert at heart, but I can put on the extrovert mask if need be. I think my xanga shows my introverted side more, though.
I think from my xanga you’d think I was an introvert bc I get like…one comment. But I think I’m a bit of both. I have a lot of superficial friends, but I also have a close group of friends that I’ve been best friends with for as long as I can remember. Once I become really good friends with someone, I tend to keep them for life. I think I’m the opposite of a lot of people on here…I come across as more introvert on xanga…I don’t go and comment on random people’s sites often. I just write it for myself. I think I’d be more likely to go and talk with someone I don’t know in person rather than over xanga. Guess I’m weird like that.
what are extroverts and introverts??? i dunno…hmmm…
Kayla
Introvert. How about you tell me if it comes across?
whats better: apple pie or blueberry pie?
peace max
I can’t make friends easily.. at all. I’m an extravert. Whenever I meet someone, I have them at first, and I try to find a lot of things wrong with them. Then after a week or two I might be their friend and they might be mine. It’s kind of sad, but I can’t help it and I don’t exactly feel bad about it either. I fight a lot with my friends, and I only have about three friends who I haven’t ever fought with before who I call my “true friends”.
In my opinion.. True friends should never fight.
What do you think about friends fighting?
Introvert. And yes (I hope) it does come across in my xanga “alter ago!”
i too, am megavert. but my xanga makes me seem the exact opposite.
i am an extrovert.
but i don’t hav a xanga personality.
I’m still an introvert, but have been fightinhg it for a while. I used to be painfully shy, I was the quiet girl everyone assumed was a snobby b*tch b/c I never said anything when in reality I was too worried that no one would like me or I’d say something stupid. I think I’ve come a long way— my favorite example is of one day in collegfe when I was in a class with a professor I really got along with and he asked for a show of hands of people who were shy and I raised my hand and he laughed! lol Then I blushed and he took that as a sign of how I really was still a fundamentally shy person… haha
I’ve become a lot more outgoing over the years, getting better at making conversation with acquaintances and believing that, yes, people DO like me. I think on my blog I seem more extroverted than I really am b/c the anonimity (or at least the not having to face people as they read what I wrote) makes it a lot easier to say what’s on your mind.
I have a very good friend at work but I don’t think she is a “best friend”. I’ve only had couple of those and both of them are no longer on this earth. I don’t make new friends face-to-face very easily, I don’t feel I can be myself. The real me can be hard to take sometimes.
What would be unwise expectations? Enlighten us…please?
most people think they are more introverted.
how about you?
btw, happy lunar new year!!!
Introvert.
Nicholas
I am introverted. I think it does sometimes come out on my Xanga.
Erika
I am a sad introvert. it takes me a long time to even think of talking to someone I don’t know. I mean it is almost sad how I can’t make friends. They usually approach me first. So….Xanga helps me vent my problems, and I make “cyber-friends” that way.
hey- i just came across yoru xanga thing, and i think you’re coming up with some really good topics for discussion, but why on a xanga? i take that back. anyways… i’m kind of intrigued why so many people would share their opinions openly with people they don’t know (unless of course you really do know all these people which could be a possiblility). especially since the rest of us don’t know what really believes in their heart compared to what they want to believe/us to believe. sorry if i lost anyone there.
RYC – I think it’s alot easier to appear to be extroverted on xanga than in real life. In real life, I can be rather friendly, sometimes funny, and usually a good listener because I don’t talk alot. I’m glad I appear extroverted, at least to you.
Oh cool…please let me know if you do in case I don’t see the post! But I’m also interested in YOUR opinion!
Introvert, though more outspoken on Xanga
Some of both.
I think i am an introvert…
hard to make friends for me…
but i wish i was more of an extrovert…
help my evangelism more?
ha
I’m an invtrovert, but my site makes me seem like an extrovert
On xanga I’m an extrovert. BTW, that post is now up with your challenge pick. Enjoy.
Deffinately an Introvert…I really have a hard time with new people. I have made some new friends on Xanga but I guess because I only comment and or get a post from them is why it’s easy for me to deal with them. I don’t know that I would do well if it were a vidio blog…
My son in law ( soon to be ) cowboychristian got me hooked on your site. I do so enjoy reading your posts. I find something everyday in them, that makes me say…Hmmmm…and that is well worth reading.
Be blessed always.
Extrovert… And I hope it shows! You tell me though…
Extravert. And yes.
in real life i am about 72% introvert, 28% extrovert. on Xanga I would be more like 67% extrovert and 33% introvert sorry if you diddn’t follow my train of thought (I believe it to be derailed)
I’m an extrovert. Does it show on here cause I really don’t know??? But at the office I am a friendly one. On my performance appraisals each year they always make mention of it and they thank me for a great attitude and going out of my way to make people feel comfortable and have a good time. HOWEVER…there are a few that I intimidate and I surely don’t mean to. It sometimes seems assertive. But if I saw you in my office and I didn’t recognize you I would walk right up to and say “HEY…I dont you …I’m Jennifer!” and stick out my hand to shake yours. If you are an introvert you would shrink away and hate me. ;-(
<—-scuse me while I go take my seat and pretend to be shy.
introvert all the way
Here here! Close friends are those that don’t normally come quickly and don’t readily leave. But I can make friends with people rather easily. My tendency is introvert. But I’ve learned to be more outgoing.
Thanks for the comments! It’s actually highly appreciated. …now if I can just survive my technical troubles (website, not xanga)
Introvert, I am very sure it shows.
much love, victoria ann<3
Introvert…
i think i make friends easily…whether in real life or online via blogs or chat, however i might meet someone. i think a lot of it has to do with writing skills. not just being a good technical writer, but being good at conversational skills too. and of course, meeting and making friends in “real life” has to do with being good at conversation as well. I’m definitely more of an extrovert and than an introvert. although i have my moments.
i tend to have a lot of friends, but i’m like you and i keep my best friends for life. i’m a pretty loyal friend i’d like to think.
i think i am an open book. extra-vert. that just sound wrong.
I love your intriguing xanga…………………
Introvert. Yes. I have more friends online than I’ve ever had at any one time in real life. I don’t know why, but I’m sure it has to do with my lack of social graces.
I have to say that I read your last post (part 6?) and I thought to tell you that my boyfriend and I met THROUGH XANGA. There’s more to it than JUST stumbling on his, but I’ll leave it at that. We’ve been together close to two years and are thinking of marriage. And I’ll admit that neither one of us are extremely keen on being around people. We’re not hermits, but we’re not the centers of attention. I’m not very shy, but he will hardly speak when meeting someone new. I guess this is the first time I’ve ever thought of it in these terms, and I felt compelled to let you in. How very observant of you to even think of such an idea!
i can be either. It depends on my mood.
I’m an extrovert. Does it show in my online personality? Ummm….I think so? You’d have to ask another person that though. LOL!
Definitely an introvert…I guess that comes through on my Xanga because I talk about books so much!
I’m a total extrovert and it does not show on my Xanga.
Hehe..I spoke to soon on my last post. So, as I said before- A Introvert. I don’t make friends easily, at all. I get along fantastic with adults though
Introvert, until you crack the hull and get to the nut
Xanga helps me talk to people and share those darn near blasphemous ideas of mine that has alienated me from church after church.
I think a lot of people misinterpret the terms introvert and extrovert. From what I was taught (although it may not necessarily be correct!), introverts are people who enjoy spending time alone, who need that ‘you’ time to remain intact. Extroverts, on the other hand, enjoy being around people more and that is where they feel most secure. So, introverts are not necessarily antisocials who sit at home and read all they. They could be extremely social, but need time by themselves to recharge.
I agree, it’s hard to answer questions like these about yourself. I would liek to think I am an introvert, but I don’t mind being social. I think it’s extremely hard to judge whether people are intro- or extroverted by their Xangas, as a lot of people see the internet as an anonymous haven.
Please read: http://www.outerlife.com/
It’ll thrill.
I feel generally the same. I’ve got 4 lifetime friends that stretch back 30 yrs, and we collectively have never betrayed any of us on any issue. I don’t know of many people who can say the same. : } (pat self on back)
i’ve have no idea right now
I would say I was an introvert, but others tell me I”m an extrovert…I haven’t a clue what comes out of my blogging except my frustrations and epiphany……interesting question….’til the next
extrovert– but i have moments when i am introverted… everyone can use some alone time…
I’m a extrovert, I think it show in my xanga personality. I’m like you Dan, have lots of superficial friends but only a hand full of close best friends. My longest friend is my friend since preschool
I’m an explodovert.
I’m never listening to you again when you say “Really, I’m done for good.”
Totally introverted. The only way I can express myself is through the written word. This makes Xanga ideal. I’m completely terrified by any human to human contact, I suffer from social anxiety, I have no friends and the entire neighborhood thinks I’m “a quiet fellow. I’d never have suspected he’d do something like this.”
Awe, I kid. I’m outgoing and I try to have a good sense of humor around people. I used to be a manwhore, but now that I’m married w/ children I don’t get to do that stuff anymore. I’m always the leader in group discussions at school, always the first to tell a telemarketer to shove their fist up their ass and I can be a genuine dick when it comes to buying a new car. In short, an expressive extrovert!
definately intro
For me it’s situational. If I’m in a comfortable place, I’m an extrovert. Around people I know and a few new ones wander in, I’ll go out of my way to make them feel welcome. If the flip flop is happening and I find myself in a place where I don’t know anyone, it’s difficult for me to just jump in and be myself.
I’m an extrovert and (unfortunately??) I’m sure it shows on Xanga! I make friends easily but I’m pretty selective of those that I “tell all” to!
An introvert is simply someone who recharges by being alone while an extrovert needs to be around other people to relax. I guess it comes across on my Xanga.
I guess I could have asked you to tell ME if I come across as an extrovert or not…you are probably a better judge about that than I would be! I guess I could poll my readers if it’s really important to you….”HEY YALL (yep from the South), AM I AN EXTROVERT?” sort of thing.
I’m an E.. and I think it comes out on xanga because I’ve been known to be opinionated about a thing or two. =)
I can’t say I’m either… I don’t have trouble approaching people or carrying on a conversation, but I have trouble making the right friends that I know will be around for years to come.
By the way, I’m glad you’re back (although I am now using a new blog.)
I’m an exrovert with a side order of introvert.
I don’t have a Xanga personality, except on your page Mr. Dan, then I’m a subversive lunatic.
I am an extrovert though.
So… I guess it shows.
Extrovert, which is all the more reason to have xanga. I made a lot of friends through life, and the number kept on increasing. Also, I like keeping in touch with everyone because it makes my life easier (travelling, no need hotels.
) So I couldn’t possible call, e-mail, send letters, etc to everyone. Xanga is an easier way to communicate. Oh, and the fact that I am now in a long distance relationship. My man can read how I spend my days. I think my extrovert shows on my xanga.
I am an introvert, but it would not come across on my xanga. I am more outspoken and bold in my xanga than offline. I think that is slowly balancing out though and I am becoming bolder offline.
I haven’t thought of it like that, actually.
I am more of an introvert; I hate to admit it but I am, really.
But in xanga, I tend to rant a lot. Maybe it is because I cannot speak clearly or as much in real life?
In my youngers years, I was very much an introvert. Now, I would consider myself extroverted on Xanga and IRL.. for the most part.
omgosh, orionis, u do not…..and basically i’d say ditto to what orionis said.
i don’t know what i am, or who i am sometimes…..so i don’t really know
~jess
I used to be very extroverted but I dont know what happened. Somewhere along the line I became introverted. I guess I’ve always been introverted, but once I feel like I can let my gaurd down around you is when the real me pops out of no where. The few friends I’ve made are people I really trust and can get along with. I can just be whoever I am around them. I think we’ll be friends till the end of days. I really do cherish my friends, if it weren’t for them I would always be stuck in this introverted shell. Its weird though because even with my closest friends I can still be introvert. But the difference is, I’m OK with being introverted around them because I know they know me well enough.
By the way Dan, the last few posts you’ve written, in my opinion, are really strong topics. I really do enjoy reading this kind of stuff because its so interesting to read everyone’s comment. Personality is fun to explore.
A mix, and I don’t have a xanga personality.
A little of both, but tend towards how you described yourself. I make casual friends quickly and easily, but only have a few “best” friends. But those 3 or so friends I know I’ll have for life. And I don’t really have a Xanga personality yet.
help I can’t comment
omg it worked, I hate xanga!!!!!
Answer, I think I am like you but I come off differently in my xanga.
According to psychologists, most of us are in between extrovert and introvert.
i sure wish that you would update more….
I’m an introvert. An introvert is someone who both gains energy and rest from being alone whereas extroverts get these things from being with others. I talk a lot about how much reading I do, and how it relaxes me, so I think my introverted personality comes out in my blog.
MEGAVERT!! HAHAHAH
that’s awesome! 
well.. from what you say about yourself… i would seem to think that you make friends quickly… you know how to win a crowd/ be a leader and people like confidence.
i think i’m the same as you… i can make gnereal friends easily… but keep close friends close and forever
Both. IN public, I am superficially extrovertive. But Truly, I am an introvert, and also very introspective.
Introvert, Yes.
I’m an extovert. Being around people recharges me, rather than wearing me out. However, with lots of little ones, I treasure time by myself more than I ever did before. I don’t know if any of this is reflected in my xanga, but it sure is a good outlet for contact with others, when little ones are sleeping, and I can’t get out.
IRYQ: Yep, induction is scheduled for 8:00 on Tuesday AM. My Mom is picking up my kiddos tonight, so I can rest and/or do any last minute cleaning (INCLUDING changing all the sheets) tomorrow. Then I can come home to a clean house.
introvert… and no, it doesn’t come across.
Wow. That last description about yourself is exactly what I would say if someone asked me.
Megavert…
I like that. <3
most people aren’t sure of what they really want in life. I
received this
letter from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and
within a
week, everything I had wished came true!! Here’s an exact copy,
this
really
works!!!!
*************************************************************
1. To yourself, say the name of the only
guy or girl you wanna be with 3
times!
*************************************************************
2. Think of something you wanna accomplish
within the next week and say it to your self
6
times!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to
yourself 9 times!!!
———————————————————————–
4. Think of something that you want to happen
between you and that 1special person and say
it to your self 12
times!!!
——————————————————————–
5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as
you scroll down focus and
concentrate on it and think on nothing
else but that wish.
* *

Now make one last &final wish about that one wish
that you picked.
After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people,
and what
you wished for will come true within in one week!
u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your
crush!!!
Keep going
down
Keep going
Keep
going
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was
your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important
message!
Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda
chain
letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863
and
if you
break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing
these
stories.
First Example:
Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,
up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same
kid
since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn’t pay any
attention to
it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her
dad
got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent
the
letter none of that would have happened and her mom
would be alive.
Second Example:
Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average
nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the
signs of
your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51
people in
the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd
grade. The
next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for
him ever
since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out,
and of
course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew
up
and
married each other to live happily forever.
Third Example:
Now if you couldn’t relate to the others, this’ll
get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just
getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that
popular but
not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his
friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart
kid and
he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled
a few
friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day,
about
that
same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery!
then his
dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him
Nintendo64 and
play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best
friend
gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and
Limp
Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was
goin’ wild!
the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been
going out
ever since.
Now, you heard the stories. I know
which person i’d rather
be, but thats up to you. I wouldn’t wanna end up like Barbra but
thats
only me. We all want what we cant have but now’s ur chance to go
out with
that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you
send
this to-
1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love
life…..forever!!!!!
10 people- your crush will say they like you as a
friend……ONLY!!!!!
15 people- your crush will say they like you
20 people- your crush will ask you out!
25 people- your crush will kiss you!!
30 people – Your crush
will have sex with you
35 people or more- All of the above!!
Don’t blow it, it’s ur chance to shine! Have
everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any
friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It’s simple, just go

chat room, pick some names and send away
NO SEND BACKS
It’s complicated.
In my life, my REAL life, the one that is composed of work, classes, and faces rather than pixels and colours, I’m a recovering introvert. It varies with my mood, and I’ve been an introvert all my life, but lately I find myself in stranger and stranger situations. I’ve decided that if someone I know asks me to do something or go somewhere with them that I would normally turn down, I am obligated to say yes.
In Xanga, I’m as extroverted as it gets for the most part. When you say something through Xanga, you don’t have to put yourself on the line the same way that you do in real life. There is no one there to tell you that you’re stupid, childish, or uninformed. You just say something. And even beyond that, you get to choose what you put out there for the world to see. It’s selective information, so you get to choose the mask that you show to the world.

I just kinda trailed off. My thoughts are really muddled right now. I’ll make it up to you.

It depends on what day you catch me. I can be shy at first, but I can also be the life of the party sometimes.
extrovert and yes.
In real life I’m introvert, but online I’m an extrovert …
i have a lot of friends..both close and not so close..and i think it shows..well not on xanga cuz i never much write anything to show it on here
i think i am extrovert around my friends, introvert around my family. and a little bit of both on xanga.
I would have to say I’m an Introvert, though people may disagree. I don’t have many friends though I can be ‘friendly’ to many. Does that make sense?
I’m an extrovert, and as for my xanga, I think I might convey that in my xanga, but I’m not sure, its hard to answer things about how others see me.

I’m a member of the get-along gang. But I tend to dislike people until I get to know them better. So I’d have to say that I’m a me-vert.
I am extremely introverted… I have not been very committed to xanga lately, but in general online I come across as more extroverted than I do in person. It’s just easier to “approach” someone online, I suppose.
Hmmm. I would go with extrovert. I’m talkative and candid. I speak my mind here and in life, so I’m pretty much the same in both places.
Everyone thinks I’m an extrovert but I’m really an introvert who puts out extra effort because you kinda have to in youth ministry.
Have a blessed day!
There are a few socially inept people on xanga.
Ok. Thats being far to modest.
But its only logical for them to flourish here.
Its much easier to hide behind a username and layout then it is in reality. Makeup and a nickname only go so far in the real world. The possibilities (cliche time!) are endless online.
Megavert? Sounds better than a Metrovert. (See – I just made up a new word!) I’m an introvert, but just barely. I am more extroverted at work than at home. I tend to “recharge” my batteries by being quiet.
I am an extrovert everywhere but here.

I am an introvert, and I don’t talk a lot really, but I’m more talkative online. I can type faster than say things…
Well I’m a major extrovert in real life..
My friends say I’m the biggest drama queen in our town *LOL*
But I’m not really sure what I am on Xanga…
*IDK* (???)
generally introverted . . . im reserved around people until i get to know them better, then im my typical goofy self. however, as much as i love people, i need time alone or i become rather cranky. in my xanga, i act like myself- neither overdramatic nor completely closed-off. i suppose im somewhere between those two extremes.
PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST IT’S SO DANG TRUE::.

I thnk I am more of an introvert than extrovert. I care deeply, but it mostly doesn’t get to the surface. And what’s with these ridiculous chain letters?!?
Just started reading your site, it’s awesome by the way.
I say that I am an Introvert living in an extroverts body. I love spending time by myself, reading writing, drawing, etc…but my social life kinda forces me to be extroverted. Does that make since?
“I am the type though that has a few friends that I pretty much have forever. In other words, I make general and superficial friendships quickly but am slow to make my best friends. I tend to keep those best friends for life.”
That’s pretty much me.
I dont really know what my xanga personality is.
I think it’s easier to show more on a xanga because when I dont have to face reactions to what I say on my xanga immediately, I feel more at ease to write whatever I want. The only problem is that it is sometimes extremely diffucult to tell the tone and mood of people on xanga…it’s easy to miss a joking tone and get offended, etc.

(((Mostly introverted)))
You’d have to ask someone that knows me. Sometimes I can be very outgoing and crazy, but other times I want to be by myself or am just shy. It really depends on where I am, who I’m with, and my mood.

i’m sort of both.. when it comes to sharing feelings im an introvert, but in general im an extrovert with a big, inviting personality. =]
im not sure….maybe both
Someone said, “Introvert with a lot of personality”, and that’d be me, I think.
i put an extrovert mask on every time i leave the house.
introvert unless I have reason to be otherwise
i am an introvert by nature, in that i tend to be shy if left to my own devices. but i am an extrovert by profession, in that i have always tried to help other people, and am currently studying to be an Episcopal priest. my mom tells a story about when i was 2 or 3 years old — we were at the birthday party of a girl maybe 2 years older than i (my mom was the best friend of the b’day girl’s mom), and every one was playing games except for this one girl who was about 5. i apparently went over to her and drew her into the games to play with me….
so i am uncomfortable being an extrovert, but will do so when it will make someone else more comfortable (help them feel included, etc) or if it is required in a professional situation
like you, i tend to make friends relatively quickly (people even start talking to me totally at randome on the street or in airports etc) but have only a very few intimate friends. my two best friends, one has been with me for my entire life, and the other for the past 18 years….
about my xanga … i have no idea what it reveals about me, except that i like to think and i want others to think as well
I’m a both-trovert. I love people, but I also need some time alone to think. Just for what it’s worth, I think that some people use xanga kinda like they use e-mail. It’s just another way to keep in contact with friends whom we don’t live near anymore. Well, I guess you have to have moved around a lot (like me) for that to be the case, but it is something to consider. Btw, I really like your site! cheers!
in my psych class i took some tests & it turns out that i’m an ambivert. i was split perfectly 50/50.
i’m an extravert…but i make good friends slowly.
I am an Autovert. I change my personality to meet changing situations and different people. Nobody ever knows exactly who I am.
Naaa…., probably more introvert but I am trying to get over it.
L,r
i’m an introvert with an extrovert exterior. i think school turned me into the extrovert that the world sees. the introverted are run over.
introvert. usually, i have had shallow, mindless entries, so yes it comes across.
I am most definitely an introvert, and I don’t know how that comes across in my Xanga. I told everyone who reads mine straightforward that I am an introvert, does that count?
I’m much like you where friendships are concerned.
