Signs You're An Extroverted Introvert

So what if you're not completely an extrovert or introvert?

Signs You're An Extroverted Introvert

You love being around people all the time and socializing is a peace of cake to you. So you're considered an extrovert. Or socializing gives you anxiety and you'd rather spend time alone, so you're an introvert. What if you're someone who loves to spend time with people, but needs days where you can be alone? You're considered an extroverted introvert. You're not someone who's on either end of the personality spectrum and sometimes people perceive you as hard to understand because you don't follow the book of an extrovert or introvert. So how can you tell if you or someone else is an extroverted introvert? As an extroverted introvert myself, I hope this helps you distinguish between the different personality types and where you lie on the spectrum.

1. You're quiet in a large group.

The thought of talking in front of a large group of people gives you anxiety. Your heart starts beating rapidly and you want to hide under a rock. Especially when you're in a class, you'd rather listen to what your classmates have to say rather than speaking up. Also you're probably sitting in the middle, back, or corner of the class room. You hate being the center of attention. However, when you're with people you're most comfortable with you're a whole new person. The extrovert side of you shines bright and you can socialize and crack jokes all day long.

2. You need alone time before and after socializing.

You love your friends. You love hanging out with them, but some days you need to recharge. For extroverted introverts, socializing is exhausting and we need to take a break from it at times. Without that alone time, we're usually super annoyed and frustrated about being around people all the time.

3. You really really really hate small talk.

The idea of small talk makes you cringe. You hate pointless conversations and you'd rather have a thoughtful conversation for hours. You value a deep connection with your friends and loved ones. Plus you probably are freaking out on the inside during those awkward silence moments (guilty).

4. You're indecisive if you want to go out.

The idea of being social and having fun sounds like a great idea, but you're contemplating if that beats a night spent in your bed with Netflix. It's way easier to choose the night spent in, but when you decide to go out, you have the time of your life.

5. Our happy place are coffee shops/cafés.

This is the bit of heaven that exists on earth for you. You're surrounded by a lot of people, but you're still closed off and alone. You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
