Some people are introverts, some are extroverts, and some are stuck right smack-dab in the middle. There's nothing wrong with having characteristics of both types of people, and most of us have accepted it. Here are 12 signs you've come to terms with being an outgoing introvert.
- You're not shy. In fact, you are actually very self-aware. You love social environments just as much as any extrovert, as long as its on your own terms. If you’re not feeling it, you have no problem with ditching it to go hang out with people you actually want to talk to or just home to your cat.
- You are selectively social and hate small talk. If you choose to grace a party or social event with your presence, you’ll be the life of it. But you’re not the type to be at every single party, because half the time you like to chill and eat and watch Netflix after a long day.
- When you like someone, you really like them; You have no problem with getting to the deep conversations as soon as possible if it’s with someone you find interesting. You probably have about one or two best friends that are your entire world that you choose to spend time with over people you’re not as crazy about.
- You love your alone time. Coffee shops are your oasis -- surrounded by an environment with other people but doing your own thing in a comfortable setting. There is also nothing about downtime that feels unproductive to you. It’s important for you to take breaks from everyone and everything and have some time for yourself.
- People think you’re an extrovert. When you talk to people you are very warm and charming, but it’s more of an illusion that you’re always that fun, because in reality you like to go home to your cat and read a book.
- People often can’t “figure you out.” You have to rely both on social interactions and time off the grid to keep your mind healthy. When people find out that you’re not always an extrovert, it really throws them off.
