Ambivert: What’s That?

Have you ever felt like you don’t fully fit into the ‘introvert’ or ‘extravert’ box?

That’s because you might be an ‘ambivert’.

Ambiverts love people, but they also need time and space to be alone. After a day of socialising or shopping, they must gather their thoughts, feelings, and emotions to fully recharge.

The Ambivert Experience

People who consider themselves ambiverts have a unique social battery. They can easily:

• Go out and connect with others socially.
• Collaborate and work seamlessly with a team.
• Vibe with completely new people.

But there is a catch. After a while, if they stay out too long, they start feeling emotionally, physically, and psychologically depleted. To fix this, they need to take a mandatory ‘time out’ for themselves, stepping into solitude to recharge because they feel genuinely drained.

Striking the Perfect Balance

Thriving as an ambivert is a balance.

If an ambivert doesn’t take the necessary time to recharge, they simply can’t show up as their best selves. Understanding this trait about yourself is incredibly freeing. Finding the balance helps you protect your energy and perfectly honours both sides of who you are: your vibrant social self and your quiet self.
