Are you a people's person or do you prefer your own company?

Little of both. I don’t think I’d describe myself as a “people person,” but I’ve certainly gotten along with hundreds of them over the years. I’m okay being alone, but I don’t like extended periods of aloneness. And there have been a few people in my life that I genuinely enjoyed being around for extended periods of time. I think many people ebb and flow with this as changes occur in our lives.

While I consider myself to be quite sociable, I really value my own space. I spend more of my time alone than I do with others. As long as I can have both, I’m happy.

I am very sociable but most times I do not enjoy the company of others. And this because I do not want to explain most things. My close friends understand this and we never argue about such things. Most just say “Leave it be” or “peace !” or “be it like this” but most times when I hear this I just know something is wrong and I correct whatever is wrong even if I am the one who’s right. [ hard to explain this so you guys could understand it better ]

On the other hand I do not like my company for too long because I tend to become irational :)

P.S. great question

Pre-chaos of family, I much preferred my own company, with some highly-selective socializing mixed in.

I’m not sociable. I hate crowds and large parties and prefer small groups with just a handful of friends or family. I do prefer my own company, but everyone needs some company now and then.

Both.

I’m a weird mix. I love being on my own, but I love people too.

I’m with @marinelife

I am a natural born extrovert, but, I have really come to love my space and solitude this last decade or so. If I have 2 or 3 busy days, working, socializing, I want an equal, if not doubel amount of alone time. I think I am at peak integration these days, maybe even tending towards more of a hermitage status.

Inspite of my gregarious personality I think that partly being an only child has made me very comfortable being by myself and living in a retreat like rural setting also.

I can go days just tripping around my house and property happy as can be. :-)

I’d say I’m somewhat of a people person in the sense that I love talking to other people and socializing. I’m a rather personable person, but I don’t have a lot of patience for people in general and I get annoyed easily, and often find myself disliking a lot of people.

Both I guess. I love to go to parties, and tend to be very talkative and outspoken…..but I do enjoy my solemn time also.

Same as @jonsblond

Im not a people person although people generally enjoy my company i’ve realized that I enjoy being around people more so because they distract me from the craziness going on in my head than for the sake of enjoying people. I actually don’t like socializing very much. Nothing against the people.

Definitely the same as @jonsblond . Couldn’t have said it better. I can fake being an extrovert for short periods, but I much prefer my own company except for a select few.

I’m fine being with myself, but I still like social interaction time to time. I’m picky about who I let in my bubble.

I love being alone and am super independent. I’m the kind of person that is more in my own head than participating in things outside of myself hope that makes sense. However, I am quite social, and do go out with friends very often. It’s not like I’m a hermit, I just enjoy being by myself.

I got myself a fuckin wall, and I enjoy being behind it, with my booze and human bones.

By myself, I can be myself. With other people I act out the whole social thing, have a lot of friends, but only a few are close. I am definitely not a big user of social media as I have little interest in what people are doing. I do not need to hang around and talk niceties with anyone to feel happy, in fact, that usually bores me. I even like watching football alone. It might surprise people too, as they think I am sociable, but it is a bit of an act.

I’m a little bit of both. It really depends on the mood I’m in. When I’m very energetic I like having people around. When I’m tired or simply want to be alone to my thoughts, I like being alone.
Although generally speaking, I like my own company most days.

Introvert.

I like people, but I can’t be with them all the time.

I used to be hopelessly talkative, to the point where I would tell others with less stamina to cry uncle if they’ve gotten tired. If I’m in an extremely stimulating conversation, it gives me so much energy, and I can talk the moon out of the sky over and over. The opportunity doesn’t come up as often nowadays as it did in college (so college jellies, get it while you can!)
Yet, at the same time, I’m an intense introvert at home.

I’m a people person. I don’t mind being on my own but eventually I will go and seek other people out and I am energised by being around people.

@linguaphile Your post alone shows your talkativeness lol.

@Lingua.. I love talkative people. I could talk the hind leg off a donkey… wonder where that saying comes from? So, one day we should meet up, get a cuppa and talk until our ears overheat :D

@Bella- You got it!

I would definitely consider myself a loner. I’m interested in people from afar. I like good conversation and spending time with people, but more often than not I’d rather be alone.
Even most of my good friends – I’ll spend time with them and enjoy it quite a lot, but I tire of it quickly. Though I have had a couple of friends who I can spend a lot of time with and feel completely at ease and enjoy my time with. Perhaps I just don’t know enough people that I really truly enjoy the company of.
I often feel like I’m overexerting myself to spend time with a lot of the people I spend time with.

@martianspringtime That’s exactly how I feel. (good to see you here tiffy.) =)

@jonsblond good to be back! :D

Both depending on my mood.
