Are You an Extroverted Introvert? These 8 Signs Might Help!

Have you ever wondered if you are an extroverted introvert? Usually, we are accustomed to these terms existing independently.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, the definition of an introvert is someone who is shy and quiet and prefers to spend time alone than often being with other people. An extrovert is the opposite of an introvert.

So, before we jump into those eight signs that might indicate you are one, what is an extroverted introvert?

An extroverted introvert embodies a mixture of these two traits: introversion and extroversion. Michael Puskar suggests that an extroverted introvert can be an outgoing introvert, an antisocial extrovert and an ambivert. A person that is an ambivert personifies a balance of calmness and chaoticness, depending on the situation.

If you have these qualities, you might be an extroverted introvert.

Here are some signs shared by Glo Miles on Facebook for you to know your true personality.

People: An Energiser and An Energy Drainer

As it is the nature of your personality, some people give you a boost of energy while others might drain you.

When your meter runs out, do not forget to recharge by taking some time alone. When you have regained energy, you can party to your heart’s content!

People are Both Intriguing and Exhausting

You are a social butterfly at one time and a loner at the other. When you are in your extroverted mode, you are interested in initiating a conversation with other people. But, when introversion hits, you would even regard a passerby as annoying.

Being Alone and Having Company

Introverts treasure their alone time. Yet, extroverted introvert loves being alone and having friends around them sometimes. They enjoy the quiet and the chaos according to their mood for the day.

Varied Energy Levels

Extroverted introverts depend on the energy and ambiance of the situation.

If they are at a party, they might turn hyper and initiate a conversation with everyone they see (even with a stranger).

Interestingly, they will stay calm and composed while working or completing a task.

What is on Your Mind vs What You Say Aloud

The logic of the statement is this: when you speak your mind, you will have control over where or when to stop.

However, a conversation involves two parties. When you are not in the mood, you might not want to initiate small talk with other people (because you fear the other person does not stop talking when your energy meter is red).

Socialize with a Backup Plan

You are always ready with an escape plan. When the situation gets too overwhelming or underwhelming, you will proceed to plan B and find your way out of the uncomfortable position.

Compartmentalize the People and Social Commitments in Your Life

As an extroverted introvert, you have a folder for everything. You arrange everything from most important to least important. The people in your life and social commitments are included.

What They See is More Than What Meets the Eye

Being an extroverted introvert gives people a false judgment of who you are. This is because you can be both in any situation. Like a light switch, you change and adapt according to what they want you to be: an extrovert, an introvert, or both.
