People always say I'm an extrovert because I like going to parties and stuff but I also really hate people and want people to leave me alone. So am I an introvert or an extrovert?

You don't have to be either! You can embrace the middle and call yourself an ambivert.
However, hating people has less to do with extroversion and more to do with a trait called Agreeableness in the Big Five (roughly equivalent to the T/F preference in MBTI). If you're extroverted but not agreeable, you may want to be around people, but more in a way that creates competition or friction rather than cooperation—like starting a lot of bar fights.
