We all know that introverts tend to be more shy and extroverts tend to be more outgoing. But what happens when you are neither an introvert nor an extrovert, but rather a mix of both? Well, that makes you an introverted extrovert. You are the kind of person that loves to go be around people, but still religiously has alone time. If this is you, here are 15 struggles you could identify with.
1. You want to go out, but Netflix just sounds so much more appealing.
2. You like going to parties, but get bored after a couple hours or socializing.
3. You are good until about 1 a.m., but anywhere after is past your bed time.
4. You love to be given some attention but, when all eyes are on you, your face starts to look like a tomato.
5. You don't know what to say when you get caught singing in the shower.
6. You could thrive at a one night concert, but a three day festival would leave you dragging your feet on the ground.
7. You can speak in front of your class when you're not giving a presentation, but when you are giving one it's like you forgot how to use words.
8. For some reason, you cannot act cool around people more extroverted than you. If you try, you embarrass yourself somehow.
9. You try to talk with headphones in and don't realize how loud you are.
10. You may have the occasional snort in your laugh, but don't blame it on your allergies.
11. Sometimes, standing can just be too much.
12. You are quick to get ready to leave because you know if you take too long you won't go out.
13. Your jokes are only selectively funny.
14. You never know when to end a long conversation so you just keep letting it go on until there is an awkward silence.
15. Finally, if you get stuck in a situation you don't want to be in, you sit there in silence until it is over.
