That question I've wondered for a while - I'm probably somewhere in the middle (not leaning towards either or lol)... maybe I'm both?

I am an introvert, because I usually quiet around people. I also shy around people that I don't know. I never socialize that much in my life, unless someone pull me into the conversation.

I'm extremely extroverted... assertive and in-your-face. I tend to be loud and animated... I love meeting new people and learning about them. I can talk to anybody almost as freely as I do my friends. I'm also very kinetic. I've noticed it makes some people uncomfortable... but that's just the way I am.

I'm going to move this thread to Your Forum, since I guess "Psychology" isn't a science...

Moving my thread is okay, but I was just wondering why is Psychology not a science?

It may not seem like it online, but I am more introverted. I'm not socially interactive in real life. Which is probably why I have a really hard time getting along with people on the internet. I love reading, writing, working with computers and hiking and fishing to me is a really peaceful, serene and fun recreational activity. I most definitely have a hard time being around large groups of people. The only kind of people I spend a good amount of time with is my family and/or friends. I MOST definitely love observing situations, I observer people and my surroundings when I first meet someone. Even online I tend to observe things, sometimes a little too much.

"Introverts are easily overwhelmed by too much stimulation from social gatherings and engagement, introversion having even been defined by some in terms of a preference for a quiet, more minimally stimulating environment"

Wow, this definitely fits me to a tee!

"Introversion is not seen as being identical to shy or to being a social outcast. Introverts prefer solitary activities over social ones, whereas shy people (who may be extroverts at heart) avoid social encounters out of fear,[9] and the social outcast has little choice in the matter of his or her solitude."

This is most definitely me! I can't believe how accurate this describes me! It's a little scary. Ha ha.

I tend to be more introverted in real life. I enjoy socializing at times, especially with people I have common interests with, but a lot of times I get really nervous in public.

I tend to be extroverted around my family and really close friends. When I'm with people I don't know too well, I'm extremely introverted. I've even avoided family function's because I knew people whom I didn't know or even family member's who I don't see often at all, would be there.
