Are you an Introvert or extrovert....which one is better ? theses day's more and more people are extroverts according to me and in olded day's maximum numberw as of introverts....what do you of this...which is better of two....! I think, in this modern age, one is better off being an extrovert kind...but not much.... I am a combination of both i can say as i like to talk a lot and move with my group of friends...talking, chatting laughing...lolz...but sometimes, you can find adifferent me, as i will be talking less, reading more...not moving anywhere and sitting alone....might bbe reading or busy in other things of interest....but this character is very rare in my case.....whatever, what about you there...which one is betetr you think....

I think it is definitely a continuum rather than one or the other. We all have our introvert and extrovert sides in different proportions. I tend towards introvert, although I can certainly do some extroverted things. I think people may appear more extroverted today because it is easier to get an audience for your extroverted behaviors--reality tv, internet, etc. Or maybe that is why we have those things. I guess it's hard to say. People seem to care a little less about privacy in their personal lives than even a generation or two ago. Not sure if it's a good thing, but that seems to be the way it is.

Hm....Terry, this time i really don't agree to you fully as i know many people in India, who are fully introvert and they won't be having any charceters of an extrovert...maybe, mixed characters numbers are very less in india and more in foreign countries....this is interesting ......then, as you said, people tend to have some extrovert characterstics even if he is an introvert in this modern age....and it is better to be like that in this modern age.....this i also agree...anyway's thanks for your views Terry

Hmmm...well, I'm sure there's lots of people on the introverted end of the spectrum. Also, I think those seeking spiritual enlightenment might tend towards introversion, and I think a serious focus on enlightenment might be more common in India than here. I guess souls who just want to party all the time incarnate in the U.S. lol.

he....you really made a valid point here in a lighter way but...as you said, serious focus on enlightenment is more common in India ...no doubt in it and souls who just want to party all the time incarnate in the U.S. .....but things has to change in coming day's and this will become vice versa and the indian thing will go to U.S and U.S thing might come to india..but for these much of things to change, it will definitely take time....as we all know, "Nothing remains permanent here...each and everything has to change" and here also changes will take place.....just watch for some years......hope we will be live at that time to watch the changes and to comment on that....lolz

first you should know who is called an introvert and who extrovert. one who is more reserved, doesn't talk much..and most of the time they can be found alone..and extrovert people are opposite of all these...now you tell me, in this age which is better.... an introvert or an extrovert..........
