Hey there, folks! Today, I wanna talk about something that’s been bugging me lately — this whole introvert, extrovert, ambivert thing. Seriously, what’s the deal with that?
I’ve been noticing a trend lately where everyone’s quick to label themselves as one of these things. But honestly, I’m not sure I get it. I mean, life’s getting busier for everyone, right? We’re all hustling, working hard, trying to find that stability. And let’s face it, sometimes that means we don’t have time to hang out with friends like we used to. But does that automatically make us introverts? I’m not so sure.
As for me, well, I’ve been on this rollercoaster ride for the past five years. I used to have this amazing life — great job, cool apartment, awesome friends. But then life happened, you know? Things changed, priorities shifted, and suddenly I found myself spending more and more time alone.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’ve kinda grown to enjoy my own company. I’ve become this silent observer, content with my own thoughts. I do everything solo — shopping, eating, movie nights. Heck, I even love going out alone. There’s something oddly peaceful about it.
But here’s the thing — as much as I love my alone time, there are moments when I crave human connection. I want to chat with friends, make plans, maybe even go on a trip. But then again, Netflix and food sound pretty tempting too, you know?
I want to socialize as much as possible and sometimes I even initiate plans to meet people. But when the time comes for the meetup, I often wonder why I bothered planning it. However, I always follow through on my promises and spend quality time with everyone. I find comfort in my own company, often being drawn to bookstores or quiet cafes when I go out. Interacting with others quickly drains my energy, leaving me wondering why. Perhaps it’s not introversion after all, but maybe I’m just getting lazy or simply don’t want to step out of my comfort zone.
So, where does that leave me? Am I an introvert? An extrovert? Honestly, I’m not sure. Maybe I’m just a bit of both, or maybe I’m just figuring it out as I go along. But one thing’s for sure — whether I’m out exploring the world or chilling at home with my snacks, I’m just doing me.
And hey, isn’t that what life’s all about? Just being yourself, enjoying the ride, and maybe, just maybe, figuring out where you fit in along the way. So here’s to all the confused introverts out there — we may not have all the answers, but we’re rocking this thing called life one solo adventure at a time. Cheers to that! 🥂
