e人

• Pinyin: e rén
• Hanzi breakdown: e (extraversion) + 人 (person) -> extroverted person.

Meaning

An extroverted person, based on the E in MBTI-style personality talk.

It usually means outgoing, socially energetic, and comfortable initiating contact. It is casual internet labeling, not a serious psychological diagnosis.
