An extroverted introvert or ambivert lives happily between extroversion and introversion, and neither dominates the other. Extroverted introvert’s live an introverted life but they are also naturally social, it is not forced or contrived, so therefore the extro-intro is able to adapt to social situations effortlessly and enjoy time with others.
Below are 6 ways to identify an extroverted introvert.
1. They are often quiet, but it doesn’t mean they don’t want to talk
They most likely have plenty of thoughts they want to talk about but think that it won’t interest others. They would rather listen to you talk because they want to learn about you and know you’d enjoy talking.
2. And just because they like being around people doesn’t mean they want to talk
Talking requires a lot of effort. For extro-intros, being around people is often enough to make them happy. I know, it’s a little confusing, you will definitely understand them if you get closer.
3. They like hanging out one on one better than in groups
One on one hangouts are more intimate and extro-intro’s can listen to you forever. It means they get a chance to actually get to know you and have a thorough conversation about what you really care about instead of making small talk that an entire group can contribute to.
4. They suck at responding to texts because sometimes they don’t want to talk to anyone
It’s not that they hate people or that they are annoyed. Sometimes they have just been around people so much that they’re exhausted from talking and texting and Skyping, or sometimes, they are just not in the mood.
5. They are open to meeting your other friends
Just let them know ahead of time that they’ll be meeting new people so they can mentally prepare themselves to socialize.
They are not necessarily closed off to meeting new people, it’s just a very exhausting thing to do. So they literally have to prepare themselves to socialize. They have to get into the mindset of, “okay, I’m going to be talking a lot. Let me prepare mentally for this”
