What is Extroversion?

Avery Klatsky, Staff Writer

People who are extroverted are most likely outgoing, overtly expressive people. Extroverts are social hummingbirds, and here are some of their characteristics:

Extroverts also usually have numerous, broad interests, like to communicate via talking, enjoy being the center of attention, prefer group work, feel isolated by too much time spent alone, look to others and outside sources for ideas or inspiration, and like to talk about thoughts and feelings with others.

People who are extroverted tend to recharge by being social, enjoy group conversations, have more friends but not as strong bonds, speak more, easily accept change, get distracted easily, are more open, make decisions quickly, open up to anyone and love receiving attention. Contrary to introverts, people who lean more on the extrovert side are much more social, and willing to interact with others.

Extroverts love to talk, and are willing to strike up a dialogue with anyone from family members to co-workers. Unlike introverts, who are more common to think before they speak, extroverts like to explore and organize their thoughts and feelings. They are also more likely to have a broader group of friends.

Introverts like to make the case that some of the worlds most intellectual thinkers and innovators are much more introverted. That being said, extroverts are the ones who go communicate, interact, and socialize with other members of society. They are the ones who provide a social fabric that molds the world to make it a better place. Having a “extroverted” personality is someone who is willing to go communicate with others and be in a social setting to accomplish a goal.
