1. We are only an extrovert as long as we need to break the monotony
2. We sometimes wish to be all by our lonesome, but still have plans for later
3. We hear about introverts and extroverts, and realize that we can’t choose a side
4. We are able to relate to nearly everyone, which is a double edged sword
5. We don’t mind spending long hours learning something new or developing a skill
6. We lose focus if we become too isolated
7. We can sometimes spend 48 hours partying, then go back to quietly sipping coffee with friends
8. We tend to be quite intuitive and can sense how people feel, but sometimes we just don’t care
9. We catch ourselves sitting quietly and observing others every now and then
10. We can also get excited and become the life of the party in the right circumstances
11. We sometimes spend time among people we don’t know, and we tend to get really shy
12. We will still get quite talkative among good friends
13. We have clear spikes and lulls in our activity levels throughout the week
14. We surprise our close friends when they see us being reserved during social occasions
15. We often find that we just want to leave a party and spend the rest of the night alone
16. We find it’s easy to get confused about what we really want
17. We like to talk for hours on some subjects, but small talk bores us out of our mind
18. We never feel truly bored, but we can get a bit lonely at times
19. We don’t spend too much time socializing because it can drain our mental energy
20. We struggle to find a partner that can get used to both sides of our character
As an ambivert you’ll go between wanting nothing more than to be left alone and have limited interaction with others, and being around plenty of people and having a great time. People will find it weird, some may get a bit frustrated, but on the plus side you get the best of both worlds and may even have an edge when it comes to achieving success, so just be honest to yourself about who you are and enjoy the ride.
