I keep telling some people that I am not fully introverted, but it doesn't seem to stick but for the 100 times and that's the last time I am going over this with anyone, they can decipher for themselves but don't be shocked when you realize how wrong you were!
I am an AMBIVERT meaning" I feel comfortable in social situations (minus the part where I get a brief panic attack but it won't take long before I get used to my surrounding) I can balance between outgoing and reserved behaviors (this one is tricky because when I am going through a depressive episode I am very reserved but when I am doing well you can see my true personality) essentially, an ambivert changes their behavior based on the situation they find themselves in" I can understand why some people if not most people do not believe that I am not an ambivert! trust me I get it and for the longest time I thought I was really introverted but I was just severely depressed! I am a very complex individual and it's not a straight line for me. I believe we all have a bit of both introverted and extroverted in ourselves but one of them is more pronounced, in my case my introverted is slightly more pronounced but that doesn't mean I don't like going out with my friends or that I love staying in my house a lot. If anything, I enjoy both and I can't live life without seeing my friends or without having some downtime alone for myself.
People will always put you in a box whether or not you believe you don't fit in that box! as long as you know who you are and what you like then that is all that matters. people have to put you in a box so that they can understand you better, but you don't have to live your life the way that others want you to live it. You can be whoever you want, you can evolve and change whenever you want! that's the beauty of being a human. You can choose how you want to live your life and you can choose who you allow in your life as well so please choose wisely.
