I have to do a presentation on Introverts and Extraverts in my psychology class so I have been doing alot of research on the topic I find that Im more of asocial introvert because I have alot of friends but I like to do things by my lonely. I go the movies sometimes by myself and my homegirls be saying thatsweird but anyway heres some info if you dont know about either it could help you understand yourself too. and why you relate to certain people more:
Introverts are people that are lowkey, they are quiet and like to be by themselves. They find comfort in themselves and tend to be deep thinkers. The majorityof geniuses and philosophers are introverts the majority of billionaires are introverts.
Extraverts are the total opposite they look for attention they would be at the club everyday if it was open. They look for people approval. Not to say thatextraverts are not smart or successul many extraverts are succesful: Diddy, Mark Cuban, Bill Clinton; John F. Kennedy
More on the topic:
Introversion is "the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life".[3]Introverts tend to be low-key, deliberate, and relatively passive in social situations.[citation needed] They often take pleasure in solitary activities suchas reading, writing, drawing, watching movies, and using computers. The archetypal artist, writer, sculptor, composer, and inventor are all highly introverted.An introvert is likely to enjoy time spent alone and find less reward in time spent with large groups of people, though they tend to enjoy interactions withclose friends. They prefer to concentrate on a single activity at a time and like to observe situations before they participate.[5] Introverts are easilyoverwhelmed by too much stimulation from social gatherings and engagement. They are more analytical before speaking.[6]
Introversion is not the same as shyness. Introverts choose solitary over social activities by preference, whereas shy people avoid social encounters out offear.[7]
Extraversion is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self".[3]Extraverts tend to enjoy human interactions and to be enthusiastic, talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve largesocial gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Acting, teaching, directing, managing,brokering are fields that favor extraversion. An extraverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. Theyenjoy risk-taking and often show leadership abilities.[4]
An extravert is energized when around other people. Extraverts tend to "fade" when alone and can easily become bored without other people around.Extraverts tend to think as they speak. When given the chance, an extravert will talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think.

Brad Pitt.
Jay-Z.
Nas.
Elvis Aron Presley.
Laurence Fishburn.
Warren Buffet.
Thomas Jefferson.
Al Gore.
Barack Obama.
Intoverts are the "cool" guys and its because beautiful outgoing women love intoverts. Because its the total opposite of them. Look at the list ofcelebrity introverts noticed how much media or how much trouble they get into? Hardly any because they are lowkey and don seek attention.
Where Paris Hilton, Lydnsey Lohan, etc. are extraverts and seek attention.
So basically the thing is there are less introverts than extraverts. The % is something like 80% extraverts 20% introverts in this world. You just have toraise your confidence in yourself and except you for you and you will b fine.
