每日英语听力 Day 19

I would say that i am more of an social introvert that is a kind of the phrase that i prefer because i amdefinately not an extrovert in general i am definately more than->of an introvert however i am an introvert that can at times seem like an extrovert and i think this is the key here when we are talking->I talk about being an ambivant, or a social introvert is that in certain situations we can actually seem like extroverts so if the context is right we can start to display a lot of extrovert tendencies and qualities but in other situations we are just classic introverts so i am sure some of you may be able to identify with that that in general you are an introvert however there are certain situations where you suddenly change and it’s likes you are an extrovert.

so depending on the context the environment your mood the topic that people are talking about who is around you depending on these factors you might suddenly seem like a complete extrovert and then afterwards go back being an introvert.

so that is kind of how i feel. there are certain situations in which i feel like i wanna have more attention i wanna talk i wanna engage people i feel outgoing i feel energized i wanna be around these particular people and this situation sometimes i actually feel like that.

but in general that is not my natural feeling in general i don’t want to be the center of attention i’m not the most outgoing person i really enjoy solitude i am->\ really enjoy being by myself i can be by myself for hours or days none stop->nonstop and feel great so obvioudly i am an introvert because an extrovert won't->wouldn't say that.

however in certain situations it is like someone flip his->flips a switch and then i am an extrovert when we say that someone flips a switch think of someone turning a light on they are flipping the light switch and suddenly it is light.

so this is figurative expresstion that we use to talk about something changing in an incident->instant so sometimes it is like someone flips the->flipped a switch and suddenly i am->I'm suddenly an extrovert.

however even in those situations, after the situation is over after i go home let us say i feel dread->drained so even when i act and feel like an extrovert afterwards i want my solitude i want to be alone so as you can see i am not an extrovert but i am an social introvert i enjoy talking to people i enjoy conversation i enjoy social contacts->contexts.

however in these context i often feel more reversed i feel dread->drained i don’t want to be the center of attention so i am more introverted in that sense and what is the best thing to be? is it best be an introvert an extorvert an ambivant.

well there is not best thing of course this is just our personality however i think it is best for us to understand and identify what type of person we are and then focus on the possible weaknesses that we might have because we are an introvert or because we are an extrovert or becuase we are an ambivant.

focusing->focus on the weaknesses, the things that can be difficult for us and try to train in those areas because you can get better at certain things if you are an introvert you can train yourself and get better in social settings you can do that and if you are an extrovert you can train youself to enjoy solitude more so you can get better in these areas so in summary i think there is not best type but we should all focus on improving our weaknesses in these areas.
