Hi Ella. I liked this video. For me I think I am more introverted, but then again I have belived that in a long time, so i probably have created that myself. I liked your coment about talking in the camera because I have had problem with perception of my voice for a long time, dont like the sound of it. Anyways.. you talked about that you where excited to talk to the camera to tell the world about your idea, so it made me think that of course when you have a motive to be extrovert, you become 1

Finally keep up the good work, thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Just answer this: Do you get more tired of being alone? or do you get more tired of being with people? (if yes to first, you are extrovert, if yes to second you are introvert)
Ella, I can relate to what you're saying here, because I too consider myself to be introvert/extrovert. I'm primarily an introvert, although at the right parties, I let it flow, like I'm riffing, soloing. Nothing fake about that, I think, because the flow feels good.
People who think introversion is some sort of affliction amuse me. As if there could be no other possible personality type than theirs. I recharge on my own or in small groups, thanks.
I am a mix. I can spend a week doing nothing exiting, and at the same time I can get in to a bar fight where stools are being used as a weapons. It all depends on weather conditions and the amount and type of drinks I had.
Yea...I came with my dad to this company meeting where they served food....Loved the food, but not the stuck up extroverted people. My dad introduced me to his friend that's real talkative, and he said right in front of me " WOW! You are so Quiet, how come? Cheer up, smile...enjoy yourself" I told him that I'm an introvert and I like to masturbate alone. :) The shocked look on his face was priceless.
Introversion and extroversion is typically determined by mood and/or environment, the variables involved that determine what side of your personality are many and varied (diet, personal life). Granted your still being you but, in certain groups you mite be more familiar thus you mite show different sides of your personality.
And about that guy that said "I just saw the real you" nah, he saw another side to you. i agree with you we all exhibit both sides of the behaviour with different degrees.
Ella, I had the same thing happen to me. I smile a lot too, I'm a happy person? I was at a dinner with people I had just met and someone in my group noticed at a pause in our conversation that I wasn't smiling. He made a huge deal about it, asking what was wrong.. My mind was simply wandering and I forgot to smile. For the first time I was really aware of my body language. Why does American culture assume something is wrong if you're not smiling? I smile when I want to otherwise I don't.
Interesting debate on the introvert/extrovert thing. Is there such a thing as an extrovert? Are they all just people who think they should overcompensate for the fact that they think they are shy? Surely when there's nothing to say it's best to say nothing and when there is something to say you can't stop yourself. I see communication as conveying an emotion.
If you can tell someone is faking it you can see the real person even when they are putting up a front. They are naked. Love yr vids
that is so true! that everyone has different personas...and no one can see the real you just by spending some minutes with you..well that's what i've always thought
I don't think adapting yourself to the situation in that way makes you at all fake; certain situations, such as parties, call for certain facets of your personality and i think it's a good thing that you have both introverted and extroverted qualities.
sadly, i'm a complete introvert. i'm working on becoming more extroverted though.
and that guy sounds like a pretentious asshole. just sayin'.
how can some guy you've just met claim to have seen 'the real you'?
ack! i've been ___-ed! (i cant think of an action for when someone gives a shout-out to someone on the internet youtubes in a particularly embarrassing/unexpected manner... fill in the blank please.)
Hey Ella, the guy at the party did not see the real you. He was hitting on you in a peculiar modality in which guys try to come across as being deep, when in fact they are just being cynical and depressing.
The introversion/extroversion dichotomy is fed by the inherent illusion of the Internet. From the viewers perspective you are putting yourself in front of thousands of people, but in practice your talking to a small, impersonal electronic device.
These ae the videos on youtube I absolutely like the most. That is, rants with inteligent viewpoints and thus something to learn, in a way.
So thanks!
And I ask myself this question quite often actually. I guess I'm an extrovert but then again I don't feel like one, when I'm not with too many people. I think maybe thats just how everyone feels. Mhm.
I agree with your view of extroversion/introversion, that there always has to be both in personalities exposing themselves.
Just like you said, even on parties, most set themself in some kind of "presentation mode" to "blend in the crowd somehow". For myself I found out, that the only way to get to know someone for real is in 1on1 conversations. Only then I experienced the wonder of "seeing" the soul and personality of another person and had the faith of showing "the real me" myself ;-)
I had felt the terms were kind of useless, but you got me reading about them and it's pretty interesting.
Seems extrovert means you are more often drawn to interact with what's going on outside yourself, introvert means you are more often drawn to contemplating what's going on inside yourself.
Looking at your eyes in this video, you seem very balanced, like you pop in and out of both modes easily and often. Perhaps more introverted since you're reflective and an artist.
I go to so many events where everyone spend the whole time Tweeting about the event -- sometimes even replying VIA TWITTER to others who are at the same gathering. ARGH! Just experience life!
Tie me kangaroo down sport - My English teacher in 5th grade used to make us sing that song. She had a very childlike repertoire of songs and a very childlike vocabulary. Even in 9th grade she insisted to call it a bellybutton and not a navel!
I know I said on Twitter I'd find the word soon but It will take me awhile to find this word. Probably a couple of days. My Motivational Psychology teacher said she was high in this technical term as she changed how she acted in one social situation compared to another.
I'll look through my book for that class and get you the term, Hopefully. I remember the class vividly and talking to her about it after class was over. Now I can't remember the term she was using.
Yeah, I think I'm a bit of both. Sometimes I can be terribly shy, and other times I can be confident and gregarious. I'm a more confident person now as an adult than I was as a teenager. Back then I'd be quite comfortable to sing and act on stage, but then when I got off stage and had to make conversation, it was a nightmare. So I've always had that extrovert/introvert duality.
I have about the same pattern. I can sing my heart out for complete strangers, but a half dozen planets have to align before I can feel comfortable talking to someone.
I find a lot of popular YouTubers have two channels. Their main channel is for their "performance" videos and their secondary channel is for their personal vlogs, where they seem to be more themselves and natural. I usually don't subscribe to the main channel because I find they tend to be really obnoxious and fake. Just an observation.
Introvert. I generally don't like people;especially in America. They are brainwashed so badly that i can't help but point out their mistakes, which leads to arguments.
Personally, i'm 50/50. The more people around me the more extrovert I become, but I can get rather shy in groups of people that I don't know. I highly doubt that anybody can define themself as either one or the other, just like I don't think anybody can define themself as a single absolute. 'The Real You' is a horrible phrase, what the guy actually saw was 'the other you', or one of 'the other you's' Interesting video though. Stay groovy Ella :)

Have you ever been to a meet up? Lots of people not talking to each other with cameras.
It seems many of the vlogger may have some Aspburger syndrome tendencies which is why it works well fer them.
