Extrovert
I am an extrovert. I am a talker and I enjoy being around people. I am always striking up a conversation with strangers while in line at the bank or supermarket. I smile and nod at people when passing them in the street or in the hallways. In school, I always sat at the front of the classroom, and never had a problem participating. Because of this, I was teased and called the Teacher’s Pet.
There are a lot of perks to being an extrovert. I find it extremely easy to meet new people. I even ended up getting a promotion because of it. I was commuting on the train to work and started chatting with another passenger who happened to worked at the same VA Hospital I did, though she was in another department. We became friends and one day she told me about a job that was coming open soon. She even gave me pointers that helped me get the job. I never would have known about it if I hadn’t talked to her that day.
Although I enjoy being with people, sometimes I need alone time to recharge. And I don’t always need to be talking with someone, or be up their butt all the time. I am content to just be in the same room with them. Though I usually do talk a lot, LOL.
Extroverts come in all flavors. Some of us are shy, some love to read, and some are very artistically inclined. I came across this really interesting article on psychologyjunky.com about the different types of extroverts.

I am an ENFP, which stands for Extroversion, iNtuition, Feeling, and Perceiving. ENFPs are team players, insightful, innovative, adaptable and think outside the box. We are creative, a jack-of-all-trades, and we excel in those things that interest us. But we sometimes stress out too much, overthinking things, and can be disorganized and messy. This seems to describe me pretty well. What about you?
