Yes! Full spectrum of labels around here. Amazingly refreshing

You may not be, but I don't think living a completely isolated life is the only determining factor.

I would consider it the extreme of introversion, while the other end of the scale - extroversion - would be someone who avoids being alone at all costs because they need people to center themselves, or to invigorate themselves. There are people all along this spectrum. Perhaps you're closer to the middle, and are an ambivert?

I think there are different degrees of this - some prefer more , some less .

Hi there. Your post got me thinking. What is meant by introvert? I enjoy social gatherings but not on a regular basis. I am self-contained and self-content. Does that make me introvert? Ah well, why label myself? Lol

There's more to being an introvert than just wanting to be alone all the time. I don't necessarily want to live in a cave either. I can socialize just fine, I just need time to recharge afterward. I also like my me time. It's more of a spectrum than a check box. ‍
