This Will be my first forum-post. I've never understood the general interest in posting your private thoughts online, although I perceive that Most of us on this forum are mainly interested in our own reaction to others post/comments.

Im 24 of age, Intp living in Sweden. I am for the most part a introvert, but I've recently found the "gift" of extroversion. I use it mostly for social advantages, at work and when I want People to get comfortable with me. Although it seems to be easier for People to approach me, IM not sure I like it, at all..
E.g. People don't seem to make the distinction between work and private time, where IM getting paid for portraying an extrovert persona. Whilst In my private time I probably won't acknowledge you. Im not sure who's more confused by my behavior, me or the general public. The humans in my Community see me as a stone-face, and now that I "can" have a conversation with them, they find me even weirder (if everybody could just stick to their labels please).
It' challenging and uncomfortable but very interesting.

Any of you experimenting with extroversion?
(What a personal introduction, Good thing nobody cares)

Oh, another stone-face.

I can relate quite a bit.
However, I seem to be stuck at an earlier stage. Eye contact still feels very distressing for me and I am having difficulties maintaining a "normal" conversational style.

What made you start experimenting with extrovert behaviour? Did something keep you from doing it in the past?
Also, what kind of work do you do? Does it require you to deal with strangers?

Welcome.

One reason to post here is because, although there are many of us, it pretty much feels like you're talking to yourself anyway....

Interesting concept.

Yes I am experimenting with extroversion, I kind of mimic other people :P
Do u like all the Muslims migrating to Sweden? I think the vetting process should he more rigorous and Muslims should fully assimilate into western society.

Usually people talk to me alright like everyone else. No one really knows much about myself. I rarely even mention my hobbies to my friends. They just thought I am someone normal, but deep down when there are gatherings, I always end up very drained afterwards. I have weird interest. I am just weird
