There's a whole slew of problems that go along with being an introverted extrovert. For me, I can talk all day with someone that I know and trust. But if you asked me to have a conversation with a stranger? I would have absolutely no idea what to say. The biggest issue I have is that if it's a stranger, I could end up saying something stupid or weird and they would forever think I was a super odd person.
Let's say I hang out with a friend I haven't seen in a few months. Conversation will still go smoothly. We can laugh, talk about whatever, and I'll have no fears about them judging anything that I've said or will say. But let's say there's an opposite scenario where I'm meeting a stranger for the first time, my mind wrecks havoc on my stomach, heart, and nerves. I'm defenseless. But, I get over it. Once it's over I think,"Oh, that wasn't so bad after all." Then for some reason, it happens ever singe time.
I would say that I talk way, way too much. Way more than anyone would ever want me to. But for some peculiar reason, when I'm asked to talk in class, I can't bring myself to say one single word to my peers.
When I hear the words,"Please pick a partner or two to do group work."
We introverted extroverts must stick together.
