Are most PMO addicts introverts or extroverts?

For me personally, I have noticed a change between being introverted when acting out with P and M and now that I'm not I haven't seen a change. I will say that when acting out I felt a lot of shame and when feeling that I did not want to be around people and now that I'm not using P and M I feel much more confident, have higher self-esteem, etc. and don't mind being around people as much. However, I'm still an introvert. For me the way I define that is that being around people drains my batteries. If I'm at a big part or social gathering I come away from feeling tired and exhausted and needing some down time or me time to recharge. That is still how I feel now even when not acting out. My batteries are drained. When I was acting out though I would've not even wanted to go to the party or event in the first place. Now I don't mind going to those things even if I know they will drain me. For my wife, who is an extrovert, she comes away from the same event feeling energized and with a full battery charge an bouncing off the walls.

 

I'm introverted... but after rebooting my introversion is more comfortable. It's not a defense mechanism like it used to be while I PMOed. I'm not longer introverted because I can't stand the thought of company, it's more that I am just more comfortable with solitude and a small circle of friends.

 

EXACTLY. When I am rebooting I feel a lot more comfortable like it suits me. Back when I was PMOing hardcore I hated people I just wanted to enjoy the nights alone and escape and it in some form still suits me.

 

I am ambivert (both introvert and extrovert - more info here http://www.scienceofpeople.com/2014/12/are-you-an-ambivert )
I was probably naturally introvert but in past 10 years I learned or developed to be also extrovert long long before nofap.
Now it depends on circumstances, and people around me if I behave like introvert or extrovert.
Once I was talking about introvert-extrovert topic with some friends and when I said them "I am naturally introvert", they answer was "No shit, you are one of the biggest extroverts I have ever seen". And my answer was "Yeah, today maybe. But not everyday".

So please add new option so I can vote correctly.

 

I am definetely an introvert before and after I stopped consuming P. In my opinion introversion is not a tendency to be anti social but it's more of a form of how socialising is expressed. In today's world socialising is equivalant to going out and partying and having lots of people around so introverts often get a lot of shit for not liking those things.
Quitting P just gave me more motivation to talk to people but I still don't like large social gatherings. I rather talk with one person or a small group. Interesting conversations usually get squashed beneath the weight of too many people. It's boring to me.

Here's a great video that describes the difference between introversion/extraversion

 

I am an extroverted introvert. More specifically on the MBTI scale I am an INFJ-A.

 

I am an introvert. Have been all my life even before I started to PMO. I am far from being shy tho. I can also be very sociable without any problems if I choose to. But most of the time I didn't choose to. I just kinda was sociable initially to make some friends and acquaintances and then slowed down a lot once I had squired them. When I did stop PMO I felt like being way more outgoing and sociable. I like to be a center of party sometimes. But in the end of a day it drains me still.

 

I was a shy, socially awkward individual that wasn't interesting the girls. Later in life, I'm still a little on the introvert side of things....getting better.

 

It all depends how much social stuff your work requires you to do I guess. I have to do more social setting stuff that I'd like and fight for stuff and prove my points than I was "made for"....I don't like fake, don't keep up with the joneses, and don't care for acquaintances. Real friends are ok, but few and far between.
so there was a learning curve.
I would personally feel good about buying a cabin out in the woods and become Grizzly Adams #2. But the wife likes people a little more than I do...

but all in all, I'm glad I open up a little, I get some benefits from it, including feeling of belonging a little more..

 

I am INFJ. My guess is that the majority of people in here are Introverts.

 

I'm quite the ambivert. I love meeting new people, hanging out with my friends, and just being social. But I also greatly value my alone time. I've been this way since I was young. Now, granted, when I was hardcore addicted to porn, I'd spend a lot of my days inside, depressed. But once I started to get happy, I realized that I love people. I love making new friends, establishing connections, partying whatever it is. But I would spend a lot of time anyways by myself, reading, playing. Keep farms, working out or whatever solo activity it was. So I'm just about in the middle. I have extremes at times where I wanna spend time with family and friends and new people and a big group but sometimes I like to be alone or just with one friend or my girl, and relax. It all depends on the day.

 

INTP here. Computer use in general is far more attractive for me as an introvert and P is a very natural extension of that interest. My career is highly computer-based and I know that is a function of my introverted nature so it would not surprise me at all to see a tendency toward introversion on the forums (but data is better than guesswork).
