Ambivert is a middle version of both introvert and extrovert.Being an ambivert is the most important factor of my existence.
People around us have this special kind of talent to make someone belittle.Reason can be either overtalking or not talking at all. I always had this problem of remaining silent around people. So obviously I had faced so many criticism of being silent.Thats when I discovered this new method to face that criticism.In a social gathering you'll have atleast one person that you are familiar with. The solution is to keep on talking to that person who knows you. Talk about anything or everything. How can someone accuse of being silent when you are continuosly taking to that one person?😂
So I changed my character from introvert to ambivert which is cool.Because now I like being around comfortable people, at the same time I could spent a whole day alone without anyone's company.Now, no criticisms.Only comfortness.
I have not so many friends. But with others I would communicate about everything but not my secrets.Thats the point.You always have something to talk about to others but not your personal matters.When you are around that “mine” people you just pour out everything that is in your heart.This is also an important advantage of being an ambivert.
Another thing is around your closest people you show your fears, insecurities, deep secrets, madness, craziness and weirdness. But in front of others you are just a normal human being.Look at that drastic change.But in either way you enjoy being in that kind of state.
Helen Odessky, a psychologist once said that "Ambiverts have that charisma and assertiveness of an extrovert and share the thoughtfullness and listening skills of an introvert. That is, for an ambivert its easy to take the center stage but also know when to step back and listen.
Also ambiverts can easily adapt to different kind of people because they know when to talk and when to listen.So they can match the energy level of other people around them.This is the most important advantage of being an introvert. Think of your cousins. Some might be very talkative where you only have the option to listen. Some might be very calm and silent, so you have the option to bright up the environment by talking to them.
Try being an ambivert rather than an introvert or extrovert so that you can have your own advantage with people or wthout people.
