Can they really understand each other? It seems to me that extroverts would overshadow the introverts. But maybe introverts can improve on their self-confidence by learning from extroverts? Which one do you think you are?

I think I am kind of in between. When I was younger, I was definitely an introvert. But as I have gotten older I am finding myself more and more outspoken.

@Pattitude Me too. And, I went through menopause a few years ago and that has made me even more outspoken.

It is the same for me. I was super shy when I was a child, but came out of that as I got older and gained more confidence.

Of course I'm one of the introverts. I can also be loud sometimes too but then afterwards I will retreat to a quiet place to recharge. Doesn't really matter if one is an introvert or extrovert as long as no one is stepping on anyone's toes and hurting each other literally.

I used to be an introvert, but after getting my toes stepped on often, I became an extrovert.

@Pattitude I think I'm in-between then, I can be an extrovert when I want to but my default mode is that of an introvert.

I don't think being a introvert automatically means having low self esteem nor can you associate being an extrovert with being self confident. many people hide there lack of self esteem by over compensating while many introverts are confident enough in themselves not to need the attention of others.
