Extroverts will be extroverts

I just want to point out that introvert is not the same as shy. This is a very common misconception. An introvert doesn't have to be a shy person at all. A shy person will be uncomfortable in many (or even most) social settings. An introvert can enjoy being surrounded by people in social settings, but may feel exhausted afterward. An extrovert will feel energized by this. Introverts generally need more "me time" to avoid emotional exhaustion.

Introvert/extrovert isn't about being shy/outgoing but whether you feel drained or energized after social settings with lots of people. This could even be after normal day at work.

Shy/outgoing and introvert/extrovert are two completely different things.

A person can be:

-A shy introvert.
-An outgoing introvert.
-A shy extrovert.
-An outgoing extrovert.

A shy person would have difficulties with performing on a stage. An outgoing introvert would not have a problem with this at all, but may feel more drained afterwards than an extrovert.

Introverts do tend to spend more time alone, or prefer the company of smaller groups of people. Not because they're shy, but because larger groups of people can make them feel exhausted.

Great post. I am so confused why or how the OP considers this stunt related to extroversion/introversion.

I think today is the day they're having the ceremony at Rainbow.
A friend flew from Florida to be there, but they used to work at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the fabulous Sunset Strip.

Extrovert?
like just about any frontman of any band ever?

Even the bass players who stand in the back must have some extrovert in them, or they'd be too shy to perform.

indeed, it is this evening:

Lemmy's Memorial Ceremony

Extrovert/Introvert….not necssarily.. I'be known a lot of introverts that appear outgoing and friendly, and a lot of painfully shy or reticent extroverts. A lot of the best comedians are introverted and have no problems being on stage or entertaining.

A tell between the two is an introvert will only go so far in a relationship. they will only have only a few people they feel comfortable exposing their inter most person. The other tell is inter personal relationships are draining if you are not in that circle of close friends.

Comparably speaking, outside of the very shy or reticent, extroverts are energized by interacting with people, so they are typically more of an open book and have a larger circle of friends.

What I've found is most people have a bit of both traits in varying degrees depending on situations, and it's hard to judge which is which unless you've spent a good bit of time with them on a personal level.

I am friends with James. He is pretty friendly and mellow for the most part---hates the news though. He likes to talk about his kids alot and smoke good cigars. Indeed, loves a good publicity stunt! We like some of the same bands, but he's older than me, so our tastes differ. Above all, he is a dad and a businessman, that loves to thrash.
