Technology has given people the opportunity to be more comfortable in a "social setting" especially for introverts. As people are brave enough to say what they wouldn't in person. Lol 😅Does this mean that extroverts are more bold in their moves on social media too? What about ambiverts? Sitting on the fence in a battle between the two?
Are you an introvert, extrovert or ambivert?
What do you think? Has being any of these labels hindered or helped in being successful at anything? Introverts😅Extroverts 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻Ambivert 😊Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣Hi 🙋🏻♀️💕
Are you only "social" on social media. How has that impacted your life? Do you consider yourself an introvert, extrovert or ambivert?
What a great question, along with the memes! When I was young, I was a total extrovert. I worked hard and played hard and was always active. Later in life, beginning in my early 30s, I became more of an ambivert, I guess. I still loved socializing, partying and engaging in lots of activities, even heading committees and an environmental nonprofit where I had to speak in front of crowds. But I don't care for dancing or clubbing. I'd rather engage in one on one or small group discussions rather than being the life of the party. About ten years ago or so, as I learned more about politics, history, and all that is going on behind the scenes, I began to become disenchanted with people who trust and rely on mainstream media for their opinions. I began to distance myself from many of my "liberal" friends. For the past few years, my community has been on-line. I've connected with some amazingly intelligent and informed people all around the world. I learn from them. I only know a few people now in person who are worth engaging with, although I still enjoy get togethers, as long as idiots don't bring up their political opinions.
Wow impressive people only dream of living a bold and interesting life. It's good to know someone here has and went for it and enjoyed every moment of it. I can relate too, as I do have many friends. I prefer to engage in conversation with only a handful.
Oh, that's an easy balance, I used to be scared of social settings and what not, then I was in a few life or death type things, and it seems so silly to be embarrassed after that.
If I don't engage in socializing with anyone around me, it's simply because I don't have anything nice to tell them, but I'm not yet to the point of open hostility.
Well thank you, but seriously, before having serious risks, embarrassment for most people is the thing you will fear most, and it's something that can be exploited.
Face death even once and get lucky, that view gets flipped.
I'm definitely more social online than in person, mostly because online I can type out and speak my thoughts without fear of being judged. I -can- be an ambivert in real life, particularly at my job- but only because I have to, not because I want to. I have the type of job that requires me to interact and talk to people in person and over the phone most of the day.
Yes, it's very annoying.
Nonetheless, I can put on a good facade and interact with people as need be. Trust me, most people that don't know very well assume I'm an extrovert in real life because of how well I can chat and get along with people-
Trust me when I say I'm much happier talking to people via text, messenger, or online than in person if possible. Talking to people for long periods of time, especially extroverts that don't know how to shut their damn mouths, can mentally and emotionally drain me and my energy.
I try to be extroverted both in social media and in real life. Yeah still😄..
So sorry... It is really you in this photo, you have beautiful eyes and looks. I just wanted to say. I've never met you before, but I feel like I knew you before. Very interesting..
For me, you use your intelligence and chat you introvert v extrovert to Mach the situation.
I am predominantly an extrovert.
when I am talking to my managers I am on point, in control and being a leader, extrovert.
however when I am talking to the teams my managers cover, I am an introvert, I sit back and be quiet, I let them run the meeting, bounce ideas, talk about problems. The last thing they need is a fuckwit extrovert bouncing around the room or even a leader.
with women it’s often the same you tailor it to the situation and the women you are talking to, be a chameleon with your ‘vertness.
similsr if you join a new club on or offline, extroverts come across as dickheads at times, grow in to it grow in to the situation.
some people think black and white and assume introvert is bad, it could be the best thing going.
I would say I am an ambivert. I observe before I give my opinion in person I let everyone have their say. Listening attentively and figuring out the best possible solution for all. As I have always had to make decisions on a whim. Having to be as rational and logical as possible.
Confidence can come across as being cocky. Not being able to engage in conversation and take risk can come across as someome with low self esteem or bad which is not always the case. As perception is subjective. Being an introvert can be the best thing as you think before you act or you give it some time before making some life changing decision. Being an extrovert can help you get ahead as they're generally risk takers. Seizing the moment and somewhat action oriented. Just sometimes what comes to mind for some as I've observed with employees... "Empty vessels do make the most noise." Ambiverts are a different breed. All in all each category has pros and cons.
I'm the opposite. I'm only social in person. I'm like the most horrid person on social media. This COVID stuff has put me in a pickle. Because I'm like an amazing person in person but so horrid online but I usually balance this all out in my real life. But with COVID all I got is the horrid person.
Covid has seriously messed up a lot for many. It pretty messed up all of our plans for who knows how long? It has changed the perspective of many. What do you do now that you can't do activities you usually would pre covid?
I had this coolest bar pre-COVID. It wasn't a get-drunk place. The bartender is one of my close friends, and it was like his "living room". We'd all meet in our neighborhood there -- girls, guys, old, young. Always the same faces. And we'd drink beers and play games. Every weekend I could count on seeing a familiar face. That bar shut down permanently after the COVID lockdown. Gyms too. I liked to go to local gym and it shut down permanently. And before COVID we hung around at each other's houses all the time and now we barely do that. I'm lonely you know. I'm married and I can grab and kiss my wife but no one else besides animals. I wanna talk and I wanna put on the loud music and dance.
Now I hang out at this house. I work remotely but I always had but I am not doing business trips for the past year to meet my colleagues overseas. I watch lotsa porno after work. I drink lotsa beer. I lift weights but in an angry way. I do sex with the wife sometimes but not so much. Mostly I'm just kinda fucked up.
That sucks that it had to close down and crazy restrictions with everything. As that sounds amazing and a great place to socialize. This has made people more aggressive, upset and lonely. We all people want is to live, connect and sense of touch. As that's what truly heals people a good sense of balance not all these restrictions.
I'ma going insane sightly. But I think we extroverts burn out in a way cooler way. If I was to explode, I'm doing it off a cliff on a motorcycle or convertible while high on drugs and drunk AF with naked ladies. The introverts -- they shoot up schools and stuff.
I’m a people person. Very sociable and pretty approachable. Recently though I’ve become very reclusive If I don’t have to go out, I don’t. This month alone, I’ve spent more time on isolation due to contact with covid infected peoples then I have actually seen the sun.
Hopefully this all changes for you this summer. You get fresh air and sunshine. It is normal to feel that way when you've been put through the ringer. Stay strong 💕
I'd say I'm more in the middle. I like being social but I also need time to myself. However this pandemic has been miserable for that... oh don't hang out, stay in doors as much as possible and get depressed! It's terrible. I look forward to meeting and spending time with people again. For now, gag is not perfect but it least has real human interaction rather than just being by yourself
I'm not sure what I am, the way I act irl is the way I act online. The only difference is irl I don't approach people and wait for them to approach me because I feel as if everyone's judging me, vs being online if people are to judge me it won't matter because I won't have to look at them in the face.
You may be introverted but that's okay people change their perspective and change as people too later on. You just need to work on your confidence a little and engage in public as people will always judge you, have opinions etc. If you're more comfortable staying as is, that's okay. Everything changes when you step outside your comfortzone.
Social media has give us introverts a way to express ourselves easier but also has given extraverts room to become more introvert over time.
But if we are real social media including this app too has made the real world so much less social that we go insane from loneliness without it no matter how many People around us that are actually social
We all use social media but except the People making money off of it the world would have been better off without the big social media.
But the worst thing social media did is ruin the dating scène long distance dating has become far too mainstream thanks to it.
Ambivert. I prefer few good people around me, but if need be, I can very well interact with whoever I happen upon. As somebody who doesn't pull punches even in a verbal way, many are too pussy to enjoy my company, though.
Extrovert. Which is weird because I was such an introvert growing up. Now if I don't meet like 5 different people a week, I get even more nutty than I already am!
I usually sneak out of any social situation quietly. Or if I have to be there I'll just stick to the corners. I also don't post very much on social media
That is totally understandable yet, it is not our responsibility to care for all the needs and interests of others. Yes you can be kind and supportive but that's their responsiblity to themselves. To fulfill their own lives. Overextending yourself leads to people pleasing and that in turn leaves you depleted. So I get what you are saying.
With strangers the brain goes more on the auto mode, often drowning them in sarcasm.
I just don't feel like i have anything to say, so i just don't engage with anybody. Small talk or some random jibberish is not my interest either.
People do actually start talking too me often, pretty popular in that sense for some reason. And i can talk with them for hours, around their subject or if they ask for help with something etc.
But when it comes to talking to them, nothing worth while comes to mind.
I’m not social in real life and I’m not social on social media. I am pretty much absent in both. Also, social media makes me very depressed. So I try to stay away.
That's completely understandable. Do what works for you best. That's not good for your mental well being. Bad experiences can cause this. Don't completely shut off from the world. Try and make at least one friend that can support you through a rough time. You deserve a good friend.🍀
I’ve been told I’m an extrovert but I feel like I’m an introvert so maybe I’m an Ambivert. I’m still pretty shy and not very social though, so I don’t know what to make of all of that.🤷🏻♂️
yes i can and i do. but it's still hard. this entire panic ideology bullshit fractured my friends circle and i lost a good half of them, cause they're so indoctrinated by the current media-politic paradigm of fearmongering nonsense.
