I guess I am an ambivert.

I always said I am an introvert because I always choose to be alone more often and keep things on my own but I also find myself engaging to people sometimes. After I have read the article of @Jeaneth entitled The dark side of introvert , I asked myself if I am really an introvert or I just claimed that I am one of them. I also read the comments there and asked myself maybe I am not an introvert but an ambivert or I am just afraid to step out of my comfort zone even if I want to explore things that's why I decided to search the meaning of ambivert for me to be enlightened and confirmed if I am ambivert.

I found this information in Healthline and trying to determined if I am belong to an ambivert type.

They said extrovert are the ones who loves to engaged with other people and an introvert is the one who always choose to be alone and loves quiet time. Introvert are also shy and not a fan of small talks and loves a deep conversation.

Base on my self evaluation. Sometimes I love to engaged with people. Example is the battle of the band scenario , I do love to attend in a music fest with loud speakers and people almost shouting. Sometimes I also go to bar and dance together with my officemates back then and I also enjoyed it. But sometimes I also preffered to be alone and have a quiet pace because I find peace on that. I am also shy sometimes especially when I am new to a certain place and I am not familiar with it. I also love deep conversation about life , religions , science , philosophy , psychology and those other broad topics.

As per my self evaluation I can be the two of both personalities but not a hundred percent of it. So maybe I am truly an ambivert. Ambivert is a personality that can be an introvert or extrovert depending on the situation and I think I am like that.

Signs that I am an ambivert

-A good listener and a good communicator.

Extrovert loves to talk and talk and introverts are just observant. They said ambivert does both. As for me , I must say that I am good listener and I can say that I am not a good communicator as I am not good at it.

-An ability to regulate behavior.

I must say that I am good in adjusting my behavior depending on the situation. It depends on the people around me. If I find them approachable and easy to deal with , I will talk to them but if not I just ignore them and have my own world.

-Feel comfortable in social settings but also loves alone time.

I also agree to this as my being sometimes wants to be sociable like what I said above. I love to go on a music fest , a cosplay event and even in the bar where you can be sociable. But sometimes I am also comfortable to be alone like going to the mall alone , eating alone and I enjoyed it too.

-Emphaty comes naturally.

I don't know if it's because on the personality or it it because on my maturity because back then I am not good at emphaty. I am a good listener yes but that's all , that was before but now I learned to understand every situation without my judgement.

-Providing balance.

I have been experienced it before. Because I am also good in observing , I also noticed different scenarios. I know when to talk and communicate to people who are not comfortable on the place because I also experienced it.

Benefits of an ambivert.

Like what I mentioned above , we are located in the middle of the two and because of that maybe you can engaged to the both sides. You can understand being an introvert and you can also understand being an extrovert. As an ambivert I can engaged to a conversation that talks about travel and dealing with people and I can't also engaged to a conversation about thoughts and also how the silent pace can bring peace to them. The chirping of the birds and insects is like a sanctuary , I remember it @Jeaneth.

So yeah , that's all guys 💚
