Generally speaking, I'm an extrovert----but, I DO have my moments, when I'm like: "Oh, God----please, people----go, away!!"; so, I checked "a bit introvert".

I voted that I'm very introverted. Sometimes however, I can be extremely introverted.

I like how there's 4 options for introvert and only 1 for extrovert.

Anyway, I voted for 'very introvert'. Most socialising knackers me, especially if it takes place in a noisy enviroment such as a restaurant. Even online socialising is tiring for me, which is why I struggle with replying to emails and PMs in a timely manner... :-/

Unfortunatly there isn't an "I don't know" option. In the past I might well have said "introvert". But having read up on this I'm now unsure. Since when I can get past my social anxiety I can find myself very much enjoying things.
On the other hand when I can't I can find myself heading towards "shutdowh mode". However, unlike when I was younger, I can generate an NMI by myself.

This. Mainly when I'm super stressed I basically do not want to move or go outside the house.

Here's the weird side of it though... I'm the lead vocalist in a band and whenever I'm up on stage, I've found that I don't suffer from these issues at all. It's almost as if I'm... free.

I don't find this especially weird.
Since I've experienced similar things myself. Along with being confused by the whole idea of formal social situations being somehow more difficult than informal.
