I am definitely an extrovert in company and introverted and reflective when I am alone. I guess that makes me a "metrovert" LOL.    Since I am a night owl, I have plenty of time in the wee hours to devote to music and writing.


Exactly this. Smile

I am definitely and introvert. It is interesting that a lot of folks here are introverts. Usually extroverts outnumber us.

I have much of the same experience but still will call myself an introvert because my comfort zone is typically small groups/close friends.  I think a lot of people including myself fall into the middle ground you describe, and the difference between them is one of degree more than kind.

Introvert, definitely.

I looked it up on the internet and it is not that introverts cannot be sociable, but it costs them more energy. That applies to me. I meet a lot of people, even have a social profession, but it costs me quite some energy.

You don't have to be an introvert to appreciate good music.

Read carefully.  I didn't say good music.  I said three epics in a row, as an example.  That's what, an hour's worth of music.  A hardcore extrovert would much rather spend that time with friends or acquaintances, because he likes to be with people.

I do have to wonder if there are mostly introverts here because prog listeners are mostly introverts, or because computer forum users are mostly introverts.  (Or something else?)

probably the latter, from what i've seen introverts are always over represented on such polls on the internet.

EDIT: I had posted a rebuttal but at this point I was just splitting hairs and being a general jerk, so if you saw what I posted please disregard everything I said, you're basically right and I misunderstood what you were saying.

My brother is an extravert and likes to listen to albums with people, including some prog music. Also, live music. A lot of extraverts like to combine the best of both worlds. I, being a polar opposite in many ways, prefer to listen to music alone, and prefer studio albums over live shows any day.

Tough one cos there is nothing like groovin to the Gates Of Delirium with another Yes fanSmile
Or watching Pink Floyd Pulse on DVD with a few good folk.

On the whole I find the musical journey to be mostly a solo one, Hymns to the Silence

Introvert, no doubt, but with some elements of open-ness in my nature. Like Polymorphia ( ^ ), I prefer to listen to music alone and prefer studio albums over live ones. I'm one of the less talking guys in any gathering of people. It's not the same thing as being shy, though naturally shyness and 'introvertness' (or what's the word form) usually go hand in hand. A person seemingly more extrovert than me can be - at least on some situations - more shy, on one way or another. Does this sound credible...?

Live shows are the one place I can be extraverted (to some degree).

Rick Wakeman looks like an enormous extravert.
But he's a prog musician, and maybe the prog musicians can be extraverts, but the fans are not, usually Ermm
