I am an ambivert


I  often question myself if I am an extrovert or an introvert because I do not fit in either one. I find myself falling in the middle, therefore I believe that I am an ambivert depending on the circumstance I find myself in. Well let me start off with the introvert side of me. I sometime find myself avoiding crowed or paying close attention to things that really interested me the most. Like doing my assignments on time, worried about whom I’m friends with and other things in life. Also, I often appeared to be quiet in a new place and sometime find it difficult to step out of my comfort zone.

 On the other hand, I believe that the extrovert side of me come out when I am comfortable with the situation or person. At this point people tries to avoid me because I become very annoying to them. Also, I loved to socialize and get involve in many activities in school and church once I get comfortable. I was involve in several clubs and organizations in high school including drama club, soccer club, diversity club e.c.t. while in college I am still actively involved in  organizations and off campus activities. The impression I got from the assigned reading was that introverts were brilliant while extrovert weren’t as brilliant as introvert. On page 26, the author describe Carl Jung view on introvert, he consider them to be “educator and promoters of cultures”.  I personally I do not agree with his assumption of an introvert personality. From a personal experience I believe that not everyone who has an introvert personality fit his description.
