Or maybe a bit of both?

I'll think "Oh I'm not that much of an intovert, I like being with people!" And then I'll go be around people and realize that I am, in fact, 100% an introvert.
Outgoing introvert
Full on extrovert socially, Total hermit privately.
When I'm in a group of people, I'm the centre of attention. People listen when I'm telling a anecdote, people watch when I'm doing an event/task, people ask me to be on their team. I'm always to one doing the stupid/embarrassing thing.
Because of my wife, I now also have an instinct to protect introverts. Cousin Micky trying to get you to join in on something you clearly don't want to? I'll notice and call him over to distract him. Some random guy giving you aggro? congratulations, you've just become my best friend and I'll park you with my wife. Trying to sink into the background or make a clean getaway? Well that's when I do the embarrassing stuff.
It can be very tiring and sometimes you feel a certain amount of expectation. Everyone looks to me for suggestions of what to do or where to go next. Well, I don't know! I'm enjoying myself now!
Once I'm home, I switch! I don't like to be bothered so I won't answer calls or messages. I hate people, I hate contact with the outside world. If you're not my wife, dogs or other animals, I hate you and I don't want to talk to you.
100% extrovert. I NEED human contact. I was so close to having a mental breakdown during the pandemic.
Neither, I am an omnivert (meaning both introverted and extroverted) though I prefer horses over humans
I am an introvert with & outgoing shell 🐢
Even though you've literally put a tortoise on your post, my brain still went 'Oh, Like a hermit crab'.
If I'm meeting someone face to face initially I'm a Introvert until I learn a bit more about you. I figure that I have a fear of saying the wrong thing and upsetting you thus I need to learn more until I can "Relax" and possibly overshare in the process. Once I know where I stand then I'm fine. I suspect it may have come from growing up in pretty much social isolation and thus never learned a lot of "Social skills".
Funny thing is that I am often more relaxed when dealing with people online than I am in person so I'm a bit more of an Extrovert in that situation. Perhaps it's the fact that in online I'm not required to give an immediate reply to something and have more time to think.
I love not being interrupted online. YESS no one can shut me up. mwahahahaha.
Extreme introvert. Just posting this is making me hope no one judges me🤣
I'm a introvert who for mental protection and keeping up with my parents ridiculous expectations pretends to be a extrovert.
I'm here, so take a guess. What could I be? Obviously an introvert
Introvert, but I have two extroverted friends who I absorb energy from. My school day usually goes like this: Energy slowly drains for my first three periods, see them in fourth hour and absorb enough energy for the next three periods, see them for 10-30 minutes at the end of the school day and absorb enough energy to make it through the rest of the day.
Inbetween. I think it's called "omnivert". I like to compare it to being a cat. I love to socialize on my own time and I love my space.
It is called an omnivert and cats are all omniverts except the super weird ones that socialize to much.
Omnivert. out going with my friends and most people I know, talk to no one but them.
introvert, but i'm a really charming and nice to be around person, i can just never start a conversation
I want to be a blanket burrito but I also want to be well known. AAAAHHHHHHHH
Both. When I’m with ppl I want to be alone, when I’m alone I want to be with ppl
( peeping out from under my rock)
"who wants to know? go away!
