introverts often have a hard time confronting people when they need to. I am sure a lot of you can identify with this feeling that when you have to confront someone in maybe an uncomfortable situation you drained->dread this. when saying->\ someone dreads something this mean they atticipate something with fear and negativity so i am sure some of you feel this dread when you have to confront someone and talk to them about something that are->is uncomfortable or something that is not right or whatever. it can be hard for introverts to do this so that one can be a weakness because there are many times when we need to confront people.

and so that is gonna cause some pain some anxiety for introverts when those situations arise. so that is another characteristic and how about extroverts? let us talk about extroverts now.

so extroverts are generally described as being outgoing so when you are outgoing this means that you are someone that->who naturally talks and engages people and is able to produce conversation and talk to people and be social in a natural way. so extroverts tend to be like this.

extroverts usually enjoy social settings and they throve->thrive in social settings. when you thrive we are saying that you do really well you are>\ successed->succeed or excel in some area so extroverts thrive in social settings ususally. and extroverts actually enjoy have this attention of being in a group being around other people and actutally having attention on them. I am sure if you are an introvert it sounds crazy to you beccause you probably don’t like having the attention on you. you don’t like being the center of attention in a group of people.

however extroverts often have no problem of->with this. extroverts can feel confident in talking and being the center of attention and they are not constantly feel self conscious about themselves and what they are saying actutally extroverts can thrive a lot more in group settings and being in the sportlight. Being in the spotlight means that you are the center of attention so extroverts don’t mind being in the spotlight sometimes so that is a big difference for introverts of course.

and controry->contrary to introverts extroverts can feel energized in social situations they actually feel like they are getting genergy when they are around other people and talking and engaging maybe even completely strangers who knows but they can feel energize->energized by this and they don’t go home afterwards and says oh man that is->was so hard i need to go and be by myself for 5 hours, alright.

they probably don’t feel like that. they feel that they have been recharged and energized from that social situations so extroverts don’t need as much solitude extroverts don’t need to be alone as much and that can sometimes be a disadvantage of being an extrovert is that sometimes extroverts have trouble being alone it may->might be hard for them to be in solitude and they might feel bad or axious when they spend more time alone. so that can sometimes be a negative. not all extroverts feel like that but some do and so that is something to be aware of as well.

and extroverts can often have many friends they might have a very large circle of friends and they don’t feel axious about the fact that they have such a big thriving social life it is natural for them. and extroverts are often more assertive so they are not as afraid of confrontation as introverts are. so extroverts can be more assertive and actually and being more comfortable saying waht they need to say confronting other people talking about that uncomfortable topic and just confrontation in general.

extroverts tend to be more comfortable with that so that can be a big advantage of being an extrovert because you don’t have that seem->same anxiety when it comes to confrontation and one other trait of extroverts that is sometimes true not always but this can be sometimes be a weakness is that sometimes certain extroverts maybe more easily distracted so remember how i talk->talked about introverts being a little bit more quiet and analytical in their thought process introverts often learn trough observation and are very thoughful and spend a lot time processing thouhts in their head, extroverts can do that too but there is also attendency->a tendency for some extroverts to be more distracted maybe less focused and spend less time in careful observation in thoughful obeservation.

so they might be more distracted at certain situations and might not spend as much time just observing one thing and thinking and processing one idea they might go from the one to the next. so you might diagree with that if you are an extrovert because you might not have that trait but when i was doing some research online that was one of the traits that come->came up with that extroverts can sometimes be like that. so that might be a negative for some extroverts and how about the last category? ambivants->ambiverts.

so i talked about introverts and extroverts being on the opposite ends of the spectrum but there are also ambiverts which would be kind of be like in the middle so not completely introvert and not completely extrovert.

they are kind of in the middle and i think a lot of people fall in this category here a lot of you are probably ambiverts to some degree and some people might make the argument that all of us have introvert and extrovert traits but some of us are more extroverted and some of us are more introverted so that might be valid as well but i want to talk about the category of ambivants just to talk about the middle ground here. the middle of the scale because in general for me if someone would ask me are you an introvert or an extrovert. i’d 100% say introvert i’m definately more of an introvert than an extrovert however if i want to be a little bit more specific i would say that i’m more of an ambivant.
