Extroverts are almost always seen as the bubbly, outgoing, and most bold people. Most people presume that there is a very thick line between extroverts and introverts, and you can only be one or the other. Ya know, I was totally one of those people until I took one of those BuzzFeed quizzes while I was procrastinating doing my homework. I found myself conflicted on almost every question because, yes I do like being around people but I also need alone time or else I'd go insane. I think that there is like a spectrum, with introvert and extrovert on either side. Here is a short list of things I found aren't always true about extroverts.
1. We're always happy.
Y'all. Come on. Everybody has those days where a pin could drop and it makes me like dante inferno's hell angry. I do try to think positive, but everyone has bad days.

2. We are always very social.
*annoying buzzer sound* Wrong again people. Yes I love to meet new people but no, not always very social. I don't go around talking to every stranger, and sometimes I wear headphones so no one will talk to me. We all get in that mood, it's not an introverts/extroverts thing.

3. We don't like being alone.
Yes we do. I love being with people, but I also love snuggling up with a book by myself. Painting, running, windsurfing, all things I enjoy doing by myself. If I'm not feeling it, I will gladly skip a party and Netflix by myself with copious amounts of unhealthy snacks.

4. Flirting is easy for us.
Yes, if you asked one of my friends they would probably call me the most brave but the art of flirting is for sure not in my favor. Bet. Before Paul in my wild days...(actually I'm still wild) in my flirting days, I was probably the most awkward human ever.

5. We're bad at listening because we are self-centered.
Hey now. I'm a great listener. Like SUPERB. I'm the one who my friends come to for boy advice, or just life advice in general. I'm not saying that some extroverts aren't self-centered, because I know a few, I'm just saying don't place that label over all extroverts.
