You can be a calm extrovert.
Personally I’m relatively extroverted I enjoy being around people, but I don’t like large gatherings; I really enjoy going bowling or to a bar with a small group of friends or just as a pair for exemple.

You’re not in the category of people I was thinking of when I wrote my comment hahah, I don’t mean just regular extrovert, although I don’t think you’re regular even 😄✌🏻

Sounds exhausting to be extroverted

The first guy I wouldn't actually describe as stereotypically "extroverted" (he was quite shy and quiet when I met him in high school), he is not super high energy or enthusiastic/manic (I'm arguably more like that in some ways). He is just very drawn to talking with and getting to know and feel people, perhaps more deeply than a stereotypical extrovert (which would be more surface level).

The second guy is definitely more stereotypically extroverted, a Russel Brand type of character: manic, talks a lot, thinks out loud, very intuitive but also engaged in senses (I think extreme extrovertion dovetails again with openness in a way that makes you both intuitive AND sense-based, not just sense-based; i.e. a very broad and exploratory mind). The first guy I would classify as more sense-based than intuitive (I think extreme intuition dovetails with openness and manic tendencies); he explores a lot of different videogames but he is less intellectually engaged (e.g. does not care about politics at all).

I've lost interest when I released im talking most of the time to teens and early 20' somethings here with word salads and YT videos as their backround....

First guy kinda sounds like indie guy to me😂, mostly based on your previous comment 

What you said there about extreme extroversion going hand in hand with openness for some makes sense to me in a way. Maybe because the person has such a strong inclination to wanna connect to fulfill their social need that it necessitates openness

I see you've really developed your mind there, being able to see such patterns, not confined to conventional ways of categorizing people

When I think of extroversion, I think partially obviously in Big 5 "social" terms, but also partially in Jungian functions terms: somebody who wants to experience everything "external", be it social (Fe) or purely sensory (Se). But intuition also becomes a means of experiencing, of driving exploration of those things. Even if extreme intuition tends to drive you inwards, intuition can fuel and amplify your exploration of the external. "Oh this song connects abstractly to this other song, let's listen to it".

That's a lot of what made me explore more bands at one point, because I got interested in the interconnection of genres, their history, how one lead to the other. For example, I had always listened to metal music, and then I got curious about what created metal music, so I started exploring hard rock (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen, Rainbow, etc.). And it was in fact partially prompted by me meeting the super extroverted guy and also another guy who also listened to a lot of music (both of them listened to the same stuff as me, and so much more, and I was like "hmm, maybe I'm missing out?").
