Many people are surprised when I tell them that I am low-key an introvert. Yes, I know that I am loud, I love to talk, and I can make a conversation with random strangers. However, at the same time, I dislike big groups of people (crowds make me nervous), I like to have a lot of alone time, and I avoid eye-contact frequently in hopes that people will not come up and talk to me. I could find myself being happy in a single-dorm in college for the alone time but I also depend a lot on my roommates and cannot fathom living without them. So as you can see, I am pretty conflicted in my personality. I am neither an introvert or an extrovert. I am instead a combination of both. I am a introvert-extrovert hybrid. The word for that being an ambivert.

And you know what? I know I am not the only one. If you can relate to a few of these 11 truths, odds are you are an ambivert too.

1. It is a Friday night. You have worked hard all week and you really have been looking forward to the plans you and your friends have for the weekend. You are so excited to have fun and socialize with people. You get all ready and finally roll in to the party only to end up like this five minutes after arriving:

It was a good idea at first but now that you are there, you definitely regret it.

2. However maybe instead, you really do not want to go out that night. Your friends have to literally drag you out of the house to get you to go and you complain the whole while. But then, when you get there you go start going ham:

Yeah, now you are pretty pumped that you went out and are having the night of your life.

3. You and your best friends have been trying to get together for weeks now but it feels like you are never all free at the same time. You are the main planner and are trying to make everyone's crazy schedules fit together. You find a day that works for you all finally schedule-wise but that day you just really do not feel like being sociable. So, you call up your friends like:

Maybe you will feel more sociable later?

4. When someone reaches to hug you, sometimes you are like:

But other times you are more like this:

Sometimes, you may even be the one that initiates the hug...

5. You just met someone that is really cute and the extrovert in you tells you to go for it. But, that awkward introvert side of you is tells you to stay as far away from this situation as you possibly can. You are so torn that you just end up just staring at yourself in the mirror like:

You want to talk to them so bad but you cannot bring yourself to strike up the conversation. It is horrible.

6. Most people in your class do not even know you are there because you just put your head down and mind in your own business. But than one day someone questions what you are thinking inside and, even though they have no idea you were feeling that way, you decide to attack their statement.

Well, if they did not know your name before, they know it now.

6. That moment when you get really excited to text someone and they do not text you back for a long time or even at all. You tried to reach out to people but now you just feel like:

Your extrovert side was so excited to talk to someone but now your introvert side has all the more reason to shut out people.

7. You have met a person many times before and although you don't know them very well, the extrovert side of you is always nice and tries to strike up a conversation with them. But after the fifth time that you talk to them and they still do not know your name? The introvert side of you gives up like:

Your extrovert side is dying to be sociable and courteous but sometimes you just gotta give in to your hermit side.

8. Somedays, you feel like you have tons of friends that you can reach out to. Other days though? Not so much.

Your introvert side is so happy to be alone, but your extrovert side is slowly dying on the inside.

9. You wake up ready for the day. You are feeling extremely sociable and ready to talk to people. You see some people you know across the street and you wave and shout hello. They keep on walking, not even acknowledging you. You just look at your feet and think:

I guess today is an antisocial day eh?

10. When this is you feel like this:

And like this:

11. When you are super social and in the moment you are really happy. You do not regret talking to a bunch of people at all and you feel like a social butterfly. But then at the end of the day your friend asks you how your day was and your like:

Maybe you are not quite the social butterfly you thought you were...

Being an ambivert can be frustrating. However, there are many benefits to be one. Ambiverts can adapt easily adapt in social situations. You know when to talk and when to be quiet. You also are not a huge risk taker but you also do not hold everything back. I know the internal conflict can be annoying, but don't worry, you are not alone.
