People

K, I'm getting a bit full up of people.

At work I've been dealing with people a lot recently with training and tours and editing and discussions and visits.

Also, I've had a bit of a social life (including coming home at 7:30 AM after staying out a leeeetle bit late on Friday night ) which is nice, but it's still people. If I have to be with people at work, I'd also like to be with some people not at work.

So are you an extrovert (being with people is energizing) or an introvert (being around people is tiring (even if it's fun)).

I thought I was an extrovert, but that's because I just like company more than Mr Bob does, so I'm constantly dragging him out.

I'm guessing I'm about halfway. I like company, but not all the time.

Wow, party animal Bob.


I'm like you: I prefer to be around people, but every now and then I need some me time. Likewise, I usually have to drag Mrs. Meemo out.

We actually did a team-building assessment a few weeks ago here at work, and identifiying where we stood between introvert and extrovert was part of the process.

Of course, with now having kids, I have no alone time anymore :-)

I'm sort of like, you, too. I enjoy entertaining and ocassionally going out, but LOVE my alone time, too.

I like being with people. I like socializing with my work and tennis friends especially and will stay as long as we are all having fun.

DW is the opposite and doesn't like to hang out with people, so we rarely do these types of things together. If we do, she's always wanting to leave or get away from the people, and I'm wanting to stay and hang out with them.

I'm a social butterfly. Dave is a hermit. No idea how we've lasted so long. *grin*

I'm pretty much an introvert.

I'm an introvert. I like spending time with friends and going out, but I get re-energized by spending time alone.

I hate people. I guess that makes me an introvert. :D
