Sure there are times when I prefer one to the other, but usually both are equally appealing. In fact I've been known, much to my wife's displeasure, to take a book to the in-laws and read when we're there for a birthday party  |
As I understand it, introversion doesn't mean that a person doesn't enjoy socializing or the company of other people. It just means that socializing drains energy from introverts, whereas extroverts draw energy from socializing. So the question is, after barbecues or other social events, do you feel amped up or tired?
As far as reading and extroversion, I'm not really sure how that works. Would an extrovert be exhausted by reading? As an introvert I find reading to be exhilarating. In fact, if I'm reading a really good book I tend to want to put the book down and walk (or run) around. But after any social situation I'm exhausted.
