It's both. But the notion of classifying people into strict personality types, is erroneous. The innate ability to adapt and blend into the demands of our environment, makes it somewhat silly to say categorically that people are either introverted or extroverted. |

I would think man was born empty/plain/void..... everything else followed after birth. Some he dropped by the wayside, others grew as he grew because he held on to them. As long as he has breath in his body, he'll keep learning and unlearning wether consciously or unconsciously. Personalities are formed/made. |

I was not born an introvert, I do stammer while I was a kid and I don't like it when other children make jest of me. So, I will rather keep quite and not talk for the day to avoid being laughed at, that was how it all started. Funny enough, I am a mix of both now depending on where I find myself |

IMO, Introverts are made. Though we ain't born without a personality and temperament, ofcourse our nature also defines that, stuffs like our energy levels, etc.. but while growing, our environment and experience further shapes that personality, in the end we are made into whatever we are as adults. Throughout my life I have dabbled through being an introvert, an extrovert and an ambivert, thanks to the environment I find myself. As a kid, I was an extrovert, a little shy but still an extrovert, this side of me grew, and the shy side continued diminishing until I finished Primary school. But guess what? My first year in junior secondary school and I suddenly became quiet. Again, environment came into play here, We relocated, I wasn't allowed to go out much, was always indoors, my life was pretty much a triangle, home school church.... I don't talk in class, only related with really close friends that lived around my area, and in my class, didn't make friends outside my class, didn't even know everyone in my class, only knew a few by their names, it was that bad, I was a complete ghost in my set as no one really knew me, and I also didn't know anyone outside my class. Fast forward to senior secondary, I became more of an ambivert, again, my environment played a role here..... Prior to my senior year, the long vacation, I met new people, through my close friends ofcourse (couldn't have done that myself), big time extroverts, we did lots of things together, I learnt new things and somehow I became more outspoken, related with people more and went out more. this side of me continued throughout my senior class, graduation, 100l, 200l uptill now, and I believe my present and future experience and whatever environment I find my self in future will continue to shape my personality, maybe one day I might become a full time extrovert again, who knows. So yes, Introverts are MADE. |

kumulus:Some babies are born cry babies, some are more quiet and barely cries, some love to scatter things as toddlers, some love to be carried and moved around, others just want to be active, while some love to be quiet or even spend most of their time sleeping....those are baby personalities, so nope, man ain't born empty. 4 Likes |

ashewoboy: I think introverts and extroverts are born but some natural extroverts may act like introverts when there's something wrong. For example, when they're depressed. And some introverts may act like extroverts for survival. For example, when their job calls for it |

Damn nigga Introverts are made. It begins with the upbringing and generally the environment of the child Plus Lack of Money can make one introversive Just like me. |

[quote author=Qinglong post=113296105]Good question. I have a very early memory of my childhood, when I was in KG 2. Throughout the first day, I didn't talk to anyone or play with anyone. I've also had short-sightedness since I was little and I couldn't see the writings on the board, but I didn't tell anyone — including the teacher. I was just mute throughout the day and slept off at some point. A neighbor of mine later came to pick me up and told the teacher that I was always quiet like that. All through my school years and now during my service, it's been the same o. So I guess I would say I was born introverted. There's definitely many people that become introverted due to certain situations or circumstances, though.[ Yours was not an introvert qualities. It's inferioty complex or lack of self exteem] |

[quote author=Babastrong post=113746519][/quote] Well, I didn't mention everything that makes me (think I am) introverted. Many other traits mentioned here by other users have always applied to me as well. Pretty much the generic/classic traits of introverts you can find everywhere. I simply mentioned a passing memory from my childhood to contribute to the thread question of whether introversion can be an in-born trait. I tried the extroverted lifestyle in late secondary school when my friends would cajole or convince me to hang out with them, and I simply find that it doesn't really work for me. Not that I found it boring per se, but certainly not 'satisfying' if you can get what I mean. Sometimes even annoying. For another example, anytime the guys at my current place of service convince me to hang around, I always end up feeling mentally drained. |

ObaKlaz:Na this one dey vex me pass, to be honest. In my current place of service, a girl asked me the same and started shaking her head at me as if I was an alien. They usually think we're creepy people living a boring or unfulfilling life. Why must I go to a cinema to enjoy a movie when I can do so with my phone? Meanwhile, I've experienced the extroverted lifestyle in my senior secondary school (when friends always told me to go out with them) and I can confidently say I much prefer the introverted lifestyle. There's also one very quiet girl where I serve. She said she's been like that since she was little. If you see how both the workers and corpers disturb her ehn, always telling her to change herself because her personality is not good. They just think we're abnormal in a bad sense. They used to bother me like that but they don give up for my matter. A lot of extroverts are very understanding of us, though. 1 Like |

Albertone:Technically I would say she did, I wasn't interested in her at first because of her age. I haven't dated someone that young before, I was feeling reluctant to make the move because deep down in my heart I regarded her as my sister. Her mum visited oneday and she introduced me to her as her bestie, as we were seeing her off the last statement she made was "TAKE CARE OF MY BABY". It was as if they poured cold water on me, that statement made me weak that day but I didn't tell her.......I didn't wanna betray her mum's trust by having any form of sexual affair with her. Onething led to another and we're dating now, our families are aware of it. |
