I am very introverted in addition to being autistic and withdrawn. What are you?

It depends on my mood, and the people around me.

I average “in the middle.”

In the middle as I like talking with people that share similar interests..or learn something new....I'm introvert when crowds are around.

im certainly a lot more extroverted now than i was in my teens and in high school, but i'm still not "there" yet.

i've been going out with friends and talking a lot in recent months and am generally more confident. none of that means i don't enjoy alone time to pursue hobbies, nor am i a great conversationalist but i do find myself experiencing less and less of the typical aspie exhaustion after outings with others.

i don't know what spurred this

The middle of the two is ambivert, I believe. I'm more of an introvert but not entirely, when around close friends (picked middle).

Very introverted. Not sure if this is just how I am, or because I am scared that if I interact with people I will do something wrong and they will hate me. Unfortunately, the more I like someone, the more this scares me.

Usually an introvert with occasional deviation to extrovert.

I'm not sure to be honest. I have an interest in people and gossip and stuff, and I like being around people. But I am shy too.

The best way to tell is if you are energised by socialising (extroverted) or exhausted by it (introverted).

Very extroverted as a child, but after being bullied for many years I became very introverted.

That’s correct, I just wasn’t sure if people would be familiar with that term.

I am introverted; I prefer to be left alone most of the time, and don't talk very much, though sometimes I do want to talk to people.
