This books will help introduce you to the concept of an ambivert, introvert and extrovert. It will also help guide you as well in knowing your social personality with others.You should keep in mind that there is no right or wrong personality type when deciding whether you are an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert. Depending on the circumstance, each tendency may have advantages or disadvantages. But you can learn how to play to your strengths by getting a better understanding of your personality through this book.
The most important thing you need to know is introversion, extroversion and ambiversion are only a spectrum, and most of us fall along this continuum, which means no one is strictly one way or the other. Famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung once said,
"There is no such thing as a pure introvert or extrovert. Such a person would be in the lunatic asylum."
We are all unique in our own ways, learn to embrace ourselves.There isn't any preferred personality, and it's more important to accept everyone for who they are.
Introverts, socialize in small doses and retreat when needed.
You are often mistaken as a shy person who lacks interpersonal communication skills. Don't pressure yourself to be more extroverted. As you think deeply, express your thoughts eloquently, you are developing authentic and meaningful relationships. At the same time, don't criticize extroverts for being obnoxious or annoying, they are simply expressing their emotions to you. They might be constantly reaching out to you, you should protect your alone time to not over-strain yourself mentally.
Extroverts, on the other hand, there's nothing wrong to speak up. Others probably think you hog the limelight all the time because you are insecure about yourself, but don't let them stop you from sharing your thoughts and opinions. Also, you like cheer people on, but keep this in mind - introverts need their space, so find the right timing to be the comforter, or else your empathy will backfire.
Ambiverts, you are not abnormal.Are you ever confused of whether you are an extrovert or introvert? Believe it or not, the majority of us are ambiverts. With traits from both sides of the spectrum, you are more flexible than others, because you are equally comfortable being alone and with people.
You are also more emotionally stable, as you find a balance in being sensitive, while not being influenced easily. The stability also makes you more intuitive - you know when to speak up and when to shut up.
It doesn't matter where you stand in the extroversion-introversion continuum, just remember, you are special and it's time to know your true self and know more on your social personality through this book.
