Introvert and extrovert
Thoughts, books or other forms of entertaintment, pursuing passion
Others live and learn and revel in the company of others

In our lives, we come across many types of people - some of them are introvert and like to be in their own company and thoughts, while others are extrovert and like to live and revel in the company of friends, etc. I am more of an extrovert although I must also admit that I can be an introvert sometimes.
As they say, man is a social animal and for this reason, I like the company of other people. Living alone sometimes can be a very scary thought for me. When I see how much my life has been enriched with the presence of my parents and my siblings, I can’t fathom living alone. Also, my friends have been a great source of entertainment as well as learning for me. We share our joys and our burdens which help us navigate through the ups and downs of a teenage life. They perfectly complement my family and are there for me when I need them most.
When I am alone, I feel uncomfortable and want to hear the voices of my companions and friends and I crave for their company. While many people may prefer to study alone, I like to study in groups with friends because it makes the learning fun and easier for every participant. Same holds true for movies, games, sports, etc. My friends make these activities more enjoyable for me.
The relationships we make by spending time with friends and relatives help up build bonds that stay with us for a lifetime. I still cherish the memories I had with my friends from middle school in Korea and would like to create such lasting memories with my current friends for the future.
It is fair to say that most of us are ambiverts, that is, extrovert at times, and introvert at other times. However, our true personalities shine through when we are with friends. On the basis of this, I can say that I like to be with my friends more than living alone.
