I am an Ambivert

Hello all you wonderful people! I am an ambivert. This is a term that I never knew existed until recently and you probably haven't heard of this word either. An ambivert is a person that possesses traits of both an Extrovert and an Introvert. Meaning that ambiverts can "recharge there batteries" being alone and quite, and other times "recharge there batteries" around other people and being really talkative. other times they are really being okay with whatever happens that day. This really isn't the greatest way to describe ambiverts, but it the easiest to understand them at first. This personality trait isn't uncommon at all, studies show that introverts make up 16% of people, extrovert make up 16% of people, leaving 68% of people to be Ambivert. That may seem like a large number to be a trait so unknown, but because ambivert is such a hard to thing describe fully society forgot about it for the more simple extrovert an introvert traits.

The knowledge that a personalty trait existed between extrovert and introvert surprised me, because up until  few months ago I felt like I was doomed to being either an extrovert or an introvert. Just look up "introvert" and "extrovert" on buzzfeed.com. There are a lot of articles about both traits, but nothing on ambiverts at this time. I was frustrated because society wanted to place me in either an introvert or extrovert when I felt I didn't belong to either. So now knowing that I'm neither and there is actually word that describes my personality is a relief.

Here are some of the links to the videos I found on the ambivert personality trait that explains the trait a whole lot better than I do.
