Introvert, Extrovert, or Ambivert: Which One Are You?

In this difficult time of the Covid, Covid 19, coronavirus, which ever you prefer to call it, staying at home has never been easier, especially when you're an introvert. But what happens when you're someone who is extroverted or ambivert? Do you think staying at home would be difficult? None the less, if you’ve been keeping up with the Myers-Briggs Indicator Type trend, then you’re probably familiar with introversion and extraversion. But sometimes personality tests, although they mean well and have helped with career-building and personal development, they can still be...well...very black and white. In a perfect world, we’d only have to worry about two options. But, people are more fluid than that, and sometimes, things can get messy. What does it mean to be an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert?

I'm definitely an ambivert.

When I'm alone: "WHY DOES NO ONE WANNA HANG OUT WITH ME??!!"
When I'm at a social gathering: "WHY CAN'T YOU ALL JUST LEAVE ME ALONE??!!"

Ambivert

Having strict parents causes me to stay home and be a hermit most times but whenever I do get to go out, I’m pretty talkative.
Since I’ve grown up alone along with the strict parents, I have some introvert traits too.

Introvert: finally some alone time!

Extrovert: "hey you want to hang out later?"

Ambivert: *you get the best of both worlds*

I'm definitely an introvert, though sometimes people don't often realise it as I appear quite confident and comfortable in social settings. Great share
