Or are you unsociable, prefer to avoid others, do you try to go out as much as you can or do prefer to avoid going out? are you someone you likes to be around others a lot or do you prefer being alone? How often do you go out and where do you usually go?

I like to spend a fair amount of time by myself, but certainly not all my time. I like to see friends on a semi-regular basis, once a week or every couple of weeks. I don't mind meeting new people occassionally, but it's not something I go out of my way to do.
I'm generally pretty reserved meeting new people, but very vocal/open with friends and people I'm comfortable with.
If I go out it's usually to a movie, art gallery, dinner or coffee. Try to avoid clubs and bars, as I'm not a fan noise or crowds.

Of course not; that's why I'm here. For me, attending a party would seem more like work than...well, work.

"The Buddha. Rene Descartes. Emily Dickinson. Greta Garbo. Bobby Fischer. J. D. Salinger: Loners, all — along with as many as 25 percent of the world's population. Loners keep to themselves, and like it that way. Yet in the press, in films, in folklore, and nearly everywhere one looks, loners are tagged as losers and psychopaths, perverts and pity cases, ogres and mad bombers, elitists and wicked witches. Too often, loners buy into those messages and strive to change, making themselves miserable in the process by hiding their true nature..." From Party of One- The Loner's Manifesto
I never get bored, by myself. Most (not all) people tend to exhaust me. I'm not dangerous or creepy-weird even...mostly.

I'm more introverted to be honest, but I can talk and engage in conversation with others depending on the situation and people I talk with.

I used to be sociable, go out, be around people.
Not anymore. I have changed, and life has changed.

Yes. I am a social butterfly and love talking to people and I wasn't as sociable when I was little and I was kinda shy and mostly only talked to my best friend who did most of the talking for both of us but that changed when I got older.

Not at all. some people have the gift of talking to others on random topics, I definitely do not.
I am not a social person as I generally avoid that stuff (I would assume I got at least some form of social anxiety which probably accounts for most of it). but I do talk to a small amount of people which pretty much boils down to family and even amongst them there is maybe a handful I really talk to.
but a lot of talking in general kind of boils down to the topic.

Not often, no. I tend to withdraw from social activities when I'm not in the mood to listen to a dozen mouths that talk too much but never have anything to say.

Depends on who I’m with. If I’m with a small group of people I am very close to then I’m very out going. If I’m in a larger group of people I’m more shy and quiet.

Depends on the situation.
Kids, especially toddlers and preschoolers... Oh I have to be outgoing in a goofy kind of way.
With older students, still outgoing (you have to make them believe you want to be there) but I drop the goofiness somewhat.
Adults I know and know well... Pretty outgoing. Depends on the amount of people, though. My youngest sister got married and had 150 people there, I knew most but the #still freaked me out.
My middle sister got married and had 50 people attend. I had a great time.
People I don't know... Reserved but approachable.

I'm sociable, but I like spending time alone, too, and I'd stress out if I couldn't spend time alone sometimes.
One area where I'm far more sociable than a lot of people is when I'm dealing with or simply just encountering strangers or people I don't already know. I rather get annoyed that people are often so unfriendly in that situation. I'll smile and say "Hi" to any arbitrary person, I'd gladly start up a conversation with any arbitrary person, and I'll go out of my way to help strangers.

Outgoing I'll say 7/10 Sociable I'll say 3/10
I'm 40 & was plenty sociable for 30+ years. Being single, most my friends are busy with kids & etc. I've grown to prefer now having fewer social plans, with the usual holiday & summer fare to keep up. I like me time because busy with work enough & ageing makes you enjoy down time more without fuss & buss.
