Either you are extrovert or introvert, and so I am an introvert in that sense. I'm not a social person that wants to go to parties.

Gautam Adani

You use words like 'introvert' and 'extrovert,' various traits of a personality. A lot of that stuff, we used in drama school, and that was kind of interesting, to realize my teachers sort of ripped off a lot of Jung. And how much of it is part of our society now, these phrases, introvert and extrovert, where it actually came from.

Michael Fassbender

When I first read the words 'introvert' and 'extrovert' when I was 10, I thought I was both.

Annie Dillard

In an extroverted society, the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an introvert is often unconsciously deemed guilty until proven innocent.

Criss Jami

If the extrovert is trying to "cheer up" the introvert - extroverts are programmed to seek social rewards! - he or she may feel like a failure if the introvert remains unmoved.

Laurie Helgoe

The exaggerated dopamine sensitivity of the introvert leads one to believe that when in public, introverts, regardless of its validity, often feel to be the center of (unwanted) attention hence rarely craving attention. Extroverts, on the other hand, seem to never get enough attention. So on the flip side it seems as though the introvert is in a sense very external and the extrovert is in a sense very internal - the introvert constantly feels too much 'outerness' while the extrovert doesn't feel enough 'outerness'.

Criss Jami

I am neither an introvert nor an extrovert. I am somewhere in the middle.

Mimi Chakraborty

I am a mild introvert. But I have learned to be a very successful extrovert because if you want impact, you have to work with people.

Patrick Pichette

If the extrovert watches and listens a bit more, the introvert's true mood will become more evident.

Laurie Helgoe

I'm reserved. I'm more of an introvert than an extrovert.

Nicole Kidman

There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum.

Carl Jung

I think people think I'm a extrovert but really I'm a introvert.

Tierra Whack

When I left for college, I told myself that this was a chance for reinvention. No one on the other side of the country knew that I was an introvert, so maybe if I tried not acting like an introvert, I wouldn't be one.

Andrea Seigel

I had this idea that being an introvert was a negative thing, that it had a negative connotation, and I really wanted, as a young person, to strive to be the life of the party and to be really outgoing and to have a million friends. And then I realized that an introvert isn't a negative.

Grace Helbig

High school was interesting because I'm an extroverted introvert, meaning I'm sociably anti-social. I spent a lot of time saying I hated it, but truthfully, I enjoyed it for what it is.
