用法筆記

Distinguish from 'outgoing' and 'sociable': 'outgoing' emphasises friendliness and ease with strangers; 'sociable' emphasises enjoying the company of others; 'extroverted' specifically describes someone who draws energy from social interaction, often contrasted with 'introverted'. Not typically used for temporary moods — it describes a lasting personality trait. Frequently used in comparative forms ('more extroverted', 'less extroverted').

💡'Extroverted' describes a personality trait, not a temporary mood; use 'outgoing' or 'sociable' for temporary states.
