I'm like 50-50. Sometimes I think I'm extroverted at heart but too shy or lazy to go out all the time, haha. Our son is on the extroverted side as far as we can tell. He's a little reserved with new people. but if he knows you, he loves you and gets really hyped up. Boy has waaay too much energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504853 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:56:46 +0000 youboots 2504853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an ENFJ<br /> DH is an extrovert.<br /> DD I think is an extrovert at 12.5 months, she wants attention from strangers, seeming never has stranger danger, is generally really outgoing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504747 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 19:22:55 +0000 anonysquire 2504747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an extrovert, DH is a introvert and big kids are extroverts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504714 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:55:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2504714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're both introverts. Charlie is an extrovert, but I'm not sure about Olive yet. She does like to socialize but is happy in her own world as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504681 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:21:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2504681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kodybear: my middle brother is very much an extrovert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504660 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 17:50:01 +0000 LilSprinkles 2504660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both introverts, and so is DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504639 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 17:15:49 +0000 Miss Ariel 2504639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh and I are both introverts. But when I was little I was definitely more of an extrovert. I think middle school is when I started to realize people didn't like others who were loud and obnoxious and my personality slowly started to change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504608 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 16:20:59 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2504608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I;m an introvert, DH is more introverted than extroverted (60/40). DD seems introverted at 18 months, but I dont know how much you can tell at this age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504580 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:38:31 +0000 kodybear 2504580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: i don't think outgoing = extroverted, reserved = introverted necessarily either. my bil is outgoing but very much introverted. he needs time to recharge alone after lots of interaction with people. someone else i know is reserved but needs to be around big groups of people. </p> <p>so i think extroverted is more how you get your energy, which is being around other people, activities, social events, etc. introverts get their energy from recharging alone.</p> <p>and along the lines of genetics, i don't know how we got a son that is so so extroverted. hah if we had more kids i guess we could tell if it was dominant or recessive. but my sister is very extroverted so maybe he has some of the same genes?? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504579 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:37:33 +0000 FancyGem 2504579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little bit of both. My husband is an introvert, but my son is an extrovert. He is a natural entertainer. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504545 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 15:05:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2504545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was an extrovert until I had young children. Now I'm more introverted (like on the verge of tears if I go an entire day without a chance to be alone) but I'm hoping my desire and ability to have friends with grow with my children. DH is and introvert.</p> <p>DD1 is more introverted as well. She is social and friendly but doesn't mind staying home most of the day and will go sit in her room alone if we have friends over whose personalities don't quite jive with hers.</p> <p>DD2 is extroverted. She will go to anyone and everyone and is very free with her waves and smiles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504536 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:50:44 +0000 jhd 2504536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are both introverts and I think LO is too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504508 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 14:21:39 +0000 Raindrop 2504508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ah than this is a very interesting situation.</p> <p>So DH and I are playing with the idea that everything is inherited ... even parts of personality (being extrovert or introvert). It's interesting to see two introverts have two extroverts! I wonder if the extrovert "gene" is recessive. Sorry silly thoughts, just thinking out loud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504438 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 13:22:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2504438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: being a social butterfly is one of the many things that makes her an extrovert. She enjoys being around other people, she is always the one to help new kids in class, she likes being out. She seriously gets more hyped around other kids. They're like fuel for her! Sure she enjoys snuggling and movie time at home and subdued activities like that. But if given the choice she will always pick to be around other people. Our kids have always been better behave in bigger social situations versus one on one at home scenarios. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504430 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 13:17:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2504430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both introverts! DH is an introvert through and through; I think I am a learned extrovert meaning I can act pretty extroverted and fairly comfortable with it, but at heart I am an introvert too. </p> <p>I can see that DD is like me. But then again her "introvert" side may just be b/c she's still young and not super into playing with others. She is an extrovert b/c we expose to her many ppl from the start and she has no qualms about being in new places with a lot of ppl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504389 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:43:17 +0000 delight 2504389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an extrovert and DH is a pretty big introvert. DD is a total extrovert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504387 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:42:56 +0000 NovBaby1112 2504387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is an extrovert and so is DD. I am probably more an introvert, and DS is too young to tell yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504385 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:40:31 +0000 Mrs Panda 2504385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same - DH and I are both introverts and both kids are extroverts! Sometimes we feel it's a disservice to them because they would like nothing more than to be around people all the time, and the prospect of that is just plain exhausting to both of us. So we often opt to hang out just as a family on weekends and probably don't proactively schedule play dates, etc. to the extent that they would want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504383 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:39:55 +0000 kodybear 2504383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an introvert, dh is borderline but probably more extrovert. Dd is an introvert. DS is very very extroverted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504380 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:35:28 +0000 gingerbebe 2504380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an introvert. DH is an extrovert, but doesn't really need like a TON of outside stimulation. DS, from what we can tell, is an introvert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504379 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:34:31 +0000 Raindrop 2504379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if being a social butterfly means they are extroverts! :) I'm a social butterfly but I'm an definitely an introvert. I'm just an outgoing introvert but I need to be alone to recharge.</p> <p>Me - introvert<br /> DH - extrovert<br /> LO1 - introvert (guessing)<br /> LO2 - extrovert (guessing) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504372 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:30:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2504372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me- introvert<br /> DH - extrovert<br /> DS and DD - introvert</p> <p>DD is a social butterfly at school - her teacher tells me all the kids like her and she likes them - at the end of the day she has to hug all her friends and they are all calling her name waiting for their hug - it cracks me up! However, any other time she likes to keep things low key. She isn't into group activities and even at her bday party (12) kids she was VERY quiet and refused to eat until everyone left - so I def think she is more of an introvert </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504371 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:29:48 +0000 looch 2504371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really know, I mean, I classify my son as an introvert, but then, when we were on vacation he made friends at the beach and the dad asked me if he makes friends everyhere he goes...and he does. But it could change in a heart beat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504370 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:28:32 +0000 Adira 2504370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I are both introverts. Xander (3) seems to be an extrovert though! Not sure about Logan (15m) though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504365 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:24:42 +0000 raspberries 2504365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an introvert, and DH is far and away an extrovert, so it'll be interesting to see how DS ends up (he's 7 mo now, so he still likes everyone.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-or-extrovert#post-2504358 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 12:22:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2504358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you &amp; DH introverts or Extroverts?</p> <p>Both DH and I are introverts. Somehow, we birthed two girls that are very much social butterflies. I just asked DD1's teachers for guest list input and that was her first comment. That DD 1 is a social butterfly! LOL</p> <p>What about you and your LOs? </p>
