Living life as an ambivert

Well, I don't know how to start of this post, so I guess I'll start it by providing the definition of an ambivert, brought to you by wtffunfact.com



Okay, well...the whole point of this post is for me to describe how I've lived my life thus far as an ambivert. For a long time, I was certain I was an introvert, and I would assume that because I was and still am a very shy and reserved person, I am one of those people that won't go up to you and say hi, you have to come to me. Anyway, recently thanks to BuzzfeedVideo on Youtube, I've discovered that aside from introverts and extroverts, scientists have developed a new category for people who lie in the middle: ambiverts.

As the definition says, we are people who enjoy both being around people and being alone the same. Although I must admit that ambiverts usually lean more towards the introvert or extrovert sides, we count with traits from both types of personalities. Now, we aren't people with multiple personalities, we just like people as much as we like books.

Moving on to my personal life, I've noticed big crowds often make me nervous and uncomfortable, sometimes the crowds don't have to be too big, I could be in a setting where I've arrived at a small restaurant that happens to be packed that day, and immediately I feel everyone's staring at me as soon as I've entered the locale. But don't get me wrong, being an ambivert can be fun too, just like extroverts, we enjoy the adrenaline packed ride at an amusement park every once in a while, and we'll engage in sudden dance moves if we're in the mood. But, like extroverts, we enjoy some down time to recharge, we will sit for an hour or two and read a good book with a coffee or tea on the side. We will also stay home for a weekend if need be, just to take time to reflect or to rest...

In conclusion, being an ambivert might just be the best of both worlds, and even if you're not an ambivert, you're special just the way you are, and you should love yourself for being unique. Finally, let me know what kind of person you are, an introvert/extrovert? Or are you one of us middle ambiverts? Also, how do you go about life as the introvert, ambivert, or extrovert you are?
