Outgoing introverts (also called ambiverts) are somewhere in the middle. They can be chatty and great company but then they
may seem to withdraw into themselves because they do not answer texts or calls. The fact is that their social batteries need recharging and this has to be
done alone. Outgoing introverts pick and choose their social events. Going out
may means a lot of small talk and that can be pretty meaningless. Yes, they enjoy company and social outings but you can bet that they
will be pretty choosy when doing so. Silence and moments of quiet are often regarded negatively. The outgoing introvert regards his introversion as a great strength and is perfectly content to be that way. Outgoing introverts find it
hard to adapt. Problems arise when they are expected to be outgoing all the
time and perform as if they were circus clowns. They have to do this to get a job, make
friends or network. They know what society demands and expects.
If you’re not a hundred percent on the
side of an introvert nor on the
side of an
extrovert, you might be an outgoing introvert.
