What are you?

Do you know who is an ambivert? Read on to know if you are one!

An ambivert is a person who has a balance of extrovert and introvert features in their personality. Well that sounds promising, but why might it be a bad thing? Also how can you turn this to be your strong point?

Please keep in mind when I say its important that you know when to open up and when not to. All my life I have faced a problem with opening myself up to the right person and it has hampered my relationship in numerous countless ways.
Finally through some years of maturity I have understood that I have to create a striking balance between being an introvert as well as being an extrovert.
That's when I will be known as a perfect ambivert.

Being an ambivert, I realise that I have a lot of unique traits in my character, like when I am happy I am socializing but when my social battery dies I turn into a complete different person! Please don't mix ambiverts up with two faced people for people with completely different PERSONALITIES. Being an ambivert means you are the same person and you remain the same person, just your socializing skills adapt accordingly.

Now to some people we might come across as arrogant but that's not the whole story! the whole story is when we tell you that we can't really choose between who to socialize with and whom not to socialize with. It's like we are stuck in between two endless worlds of possibilities. I am not saying that being an ambivert is a bad thing but when not used in the right way can seriously leave  wrong impression on other people. This might sound stupid, but to avoid awkward situation you have to actually practice talking to yourself when you are alone. I have tried this technique and it genuinely helped me a lot. It helped me to boost my confidence, to bring up a lot of new ideas on my own and to become my own best friend. In this way, your introvert side will get nourished. Talking to yourself will also help you in controlling what comes out off your mouth.

I think I have always been half out of my shell and half in. Sometimes I can be extremely wild and sometimes I can be extremely shy, it just depends on the day. I think I am not the only person here who says that we need our own alone time so that we can recharge ourselves.

Although this is not a new concept,
Carl Jung in his book Psychological Types wrote: “There is, finally, a third group… the most numerous and includes the less differentiated normal man… He constitutes the extensive middle group.”

How are we different from extroverts : Extroverts are very straight forward and they know what they are doing most of the time. But most of the time they come off as arrogant and rude. However they can pitch the sales technique well, but there are certain drawbacks of being extroverts. The fun point includes they make friends wherever they go and know how to connect with people very easily. They seem to have their way with people. They seem to be jolly most of the time because they can speak their hearts out and have the courage to do so. These kind of people often excel at being Businessmen, lawyer, salesmen, teachers, bankers etc.

How are we different from introverts : Introverts are quiet most of the time. They enjoy their own company utmost and feel really awkward in social situations. Some introverts get really nervous when they talk to unknown people. They are very shy and timid and keep majority of their feelings to themselves. However it can be harmful when you don't speak your heart out to the right person. The advantage of being and introvert is that you get to be super creative and utilise all the "me time" that you have to yourself. Introverts work best when they are alone and that's why there work is valued as quality work.

Why are we rocking in the middle?
Because we got best of both worlds!
and if we utilise that to the full extent we can achieve a lot of things!
We just have to utilise all the positive things and forget about all the negative things. Wishing my fellow ambiverts all the best!
