...an extrovert prefers the social and practical aspects of life over immersion in a world of imagination and reflection. An introvert, however, prefers reflection and imagination over operations with real external objects...

...Introversion is an innate property of the human psyche in which the person's primary orientation environment is their inner world. The behavioral acts of introverts are mostly hidden from outside eyes and directed toward themselves, they do not demonstrate all experiences and reflections, remaining externally calm and rational (although the internal state may be tense and restless). (here it varies, also depends on the company I am in and the goals I am pursuing).

Introverts greatly love and value solitude; they are focused on their personal experiences and their inner world; society and intrusive communication are sometimes simply unbearable for them. They tire very quickly from interacting with people and try to avoid excessive social contacts.

Introverts practically never experience a lack of communication; according to an existing joke, they always have a wonderful, intelligent, and understanding interlocutor - themselves. Therefore, they precisely dose their social activity, preferring to remain alone with themselves rather than with anyone else.

Introverts are often perceived as modest and insecure people; in reality, this may not be the case, however, introverts do not show their true essence, remaining unsociable and distant from society. Extroverts, for whom interpersonal interaction and communication are the basis of existence, often avoid introverts, claiming that "they keep to themselves," "dark personalities who cannot be figured out"; also, introverts are accused of haughtiness, secrecy, and aloofness.

If statistics are believed, there are fewer introverts in society than extroverts; personalities oriented toward the surrounding world (extroverts) make up about 70%, and introverts, consequently, about 30%.

Introversion, as a property of the human psyche, leaves its mark on other psychological phenomena of the personality; based on this innate trait, a person's character is formed, and their state and mood depend on it. Introverts are reserved (sometimes, depends on factors), pedantic (I used to be a fierce pedant, however, I was more sociable. Now I am brutally rooting out all pedantry in myself), punctual, and taciturn (on the internet, I can flood so much that any extrovert would be envious :) IRL similarly only with friends/acquaintances/for money. Otherwise, I usually stay silent and try to avoid communication with anyone at all). This is a category of people who carefully think through and digest everything before speaking, and only then may they decide to verbalize the information.

Despite their internal orientation and focus on themselves, introverts can rarely be called egoists (wait, I am an egoist). There are many people focused on themselves among extroverts as well; egoism as a character trait is formed during upbringing, not because of personality properties. Thanks to their thoughtfulness, rationality, and calmness, introverts prefer to get to the heart of things and rarely "skim the surface." Sometimes due to their (however) slowness and lack of agility, introverts become objects of ridicule for extroverts(although not so much in a new society. It's just more normal and contains less trashy people).

Introverts choose a field of activity where they do not need to have much contact with people; most often they choose creative professions(I would love to, but I'm not into creation, although I would give everything to trade innate mathematics for this "creation"), in which one must focus on their internal experiences.

Depending on the stability of the nervous system (personality neuroticism), introverts are of two types: emotionally stable and neurotic (emotionally unstable). The first type is better known as the phlegmatic temperament type, and the second as the melancholic temperament type (this typology was proposed by Hans Eysenck).

If you deal with an introvert, do not try to make them talk, do not pester them with unnecessary questions, and do not accuse them of being unsociable. Introversion is an innate property of the psyche; a person cannot change this, they can only adapt. There are frequent cases where introverts, due to social rejection, push themselves and put on a "mask," becoming a cheerful, sociable person (this happens sometimes, just to answer someone, tell everyone to get lost, then plug in an earbud and continue closing off), but as soon as the person has the opportunity to rest from their role and immerse themselves in their thoughts, the introvert becomes who they are - oriented toward their inner world. Excessive communication, pressure from interlocutors, and the lack of opportunity to be alone oppress the introvert and become a cause of stress.

And I don't know now if I'm an introvert or an extrovert

analyzing these quotes, I can note that I have almost no elements either FOR an extrovert or AGAINST, while in the case of an introvert, there are both pros and cons. And I don't think I'm the only one here. Like I said, you can't fit everyone into these two templates.
