On the one hand there are naturally different shades of (social) introversion and extraversion, meaning that some absolute Shylock-esque folk (Bill Gates and Kim. Kardashian being prime examples) don’t do that much spontaneous socialising when they’re not putting on a public appearance but for more ordinary folk (in that sense) money (or lack of, really) can stop people from going out and making connections they actually want to.
How outgoing would you be (at least on weekends/at happy hour) if you could afford to be as social or reclusive as you wanted to be?

Wouldn't really make much of a difference to me.
I have the money to go out, but often choose not to. I've been traveling and will probably go New Zealand next year traveling again. Money doesn't make me happy, but it helps to a degree. Happiness is my ultimate goal. Just to be happy and feel happy which, to be completely Frank, can be hard. That's what is most important because you can't buy that... Not for an extended period of time anyway Last edited by ThomasC; 21-06-2022 at 04:19 PM. |

In the basic social sense of the term I’m pretty much an introvert-leaning ambivert. Meaning that I’m very okay and comfortable with my own company (and even prefer it a good six times out of ten) but that strong extroverted feeling I have gives me a quite a bit more of an outgoing edge in the social world than your typical introvert-introvert has. If I wasn’t up to my eyeballs in rent and day-to-day expenditures (which I can only barely afford at the moment) I’d probably socialise more at least every other weekend. But either way I can kind of take or allow it. It would just be nice to have the option sometimes and not have to work out how you’re going to live your best weekend on a £20 budget.

Money doesn’t really come into it unless you are trying to buy your way into lifestyle that’s above your earnings
Staying in is the new going out Going out into town you will come across some right idiots |

Some people have always been natural homebodies who just happen to get a slight urge to get out more on the weekends. Idiots are everywhere. You can’t just not go into town for that reason alone. You’ve just got to be careful.

Someone who’s never particularly been about the club scene (and still less about random, flakey acquaintance-friends who want nothing more than a laugh at happy hour) low-key wishing they had more disposable so they could get out and see a bit more of the world (which could well be at the museum, a restaurant or low-key bar or Costa with a few good buddies) is fair enough. Take your patronising jibes out of this thread. You have no idea about the people you might be talking to.

Talking introvert/extrovert.
I would say I am both... Introverted extrovert. I can quite happily be on my own. I like socialising to a degree, but I can also find it exhausting and need my down time. I do agree that staying in is the new going out... It's more Netflix and chill, takeaway. It annoys me when people are like...what you doing this weekend or what you doing with your time off... Like I should be doing something or there's an expectation because I'm only 31 I should be out with friends or have plans. People at work would probably say I don't stop talking, but that's not me in reality... I quite like my own space to doss about, watch YouTube, come on here and piss about and just do my own thing |

You need to calm down son!
I was talking about people that I’ve grown up with, gone out with. I wasn’t talking about you or people I don’t know. Last edited by thesheriff443; 21-06-2022 at 04:51 PM. |

In other words I’m a lot more content with far lesser social interaction than the average person (I have my own inner world to keep me company at the best of times) but I’m still pretty ambiverted. When the extroverted side of my personality isn’t being fulfilled on the same level as I’d like it to be because of limited funds it gets frustrating very quickly. Just because I’m used to the staid, somber approach to life doesn’t mean I want to live in that world 100% of the time (outside professional obligations).

Most of what you have said has gone over my head to be honest. You basically want more money to be able to fulfill social events |

For every Jungian dunce there are two people who do understand it. You don’t like it, you don’t like it. Not my problem. I couldn’t care less.
What I won’t tolerate is the usual baiter-squad coming up into my line making semi-literate jibes about what I’m posting or boasting about how they’d rather work six-day weeks by default because they’re such workaholics that anyone else is lazy and entitled. Again, I don’t care about what you’re doing and I didn’t ask. Why follow people around in every thread just to bait and and try gaslight them? Here again you probably don’t know the meaning of half of those words but reading comprehension isn’t one of your strong points so it’s whatever.

And LeatherTrumpet, I’d appreciate it if you could just stay out of all my threads going forward. I can’t control what you do or where you otherwise post but your round-the-clock senseless baiting isn’t something I want to have to keep entertaining. You’re the last person I want to actually hear an opinion from.
If that time comes I’ll send you a private message but it never will. I’m not your number one fan and never have been. I don’t want to know about your 12-day weeks and how dope haggis is. To me all that stuff is straight over my head and again no-one tends to ask you. Don’t move mad to me, man. I’m not your buddy.
