Ambiverts do exist and are people who has a personality that falls between the introvert and extrovert extremes.

Ambiverts feel comfortable in social situations although they also enjoy time alone, balancing between outgoing and reserved behaviors.

An Ambivert also changes their behavior based on the situation they find themselves in.

A Centrovert is someone that is slightly extrovert and slightly introvert and is ideally suited for collaboration, negotiation and mediation.

You can be a shy extrovert and even a shy introvert.

Not all extroverts or introverts are good at socializing and shy extroverts are those who thrive off of social experiences although it does not always mean they have the skills needed to socialize effectively.

Some extroverts find social situations awkward and try to avoid talking to new people.

2 introverts can be in a relationship and having 2 introverts in a relationship can be a good match for each other.

2 introverts can be amazing lovers as they usually share the same interests as each other as long as they give each other enough freedom and room.

An introvert can be social by.

Being confident in who they are.
Knowing that it's okay for them to be quite.
By stepping outside their comfort zone.
Planning conversation starters ahead of time.
Going to work functions and leaving early.
And trying to befriend an extrovert.

When an introvert can't be alone then the introvert will start shutting down and often experience physical symptoms and can become more sensitive to sensory stimuli, taste, light, touch and noise.

Introverts are good at listening, observation, deliberation, independence, emotional intelligence, counseling, leadership and conversation.

Being introverted is not a problem and is healthy and normal and many introverts function in daily life just fine and go on to be very successful people.

Between 30 to 50 percent of the population are introverted.

Most introverts do not like loud music and will be more anxious when listening to any loud or stimulating music.

Shyness and introvertness are not linked although most people think introverts are shy.

Shyness is an emotion and introversion is a personality type.

Those who are shy feel awkward and uncomfortable when they are in social situations and when they are around strangers and they usually feel nervous and sweaty sometimes as well.

Introverts don't like to spend lots of time interacting with other people although they do appreciate being around people that they are close.

Introverts also find small talk tedious but they do enjoy having deep and meaningful conversations and introverts also tend to think before they speak.

Some things that introverts do for fun are.

Take long walks or bike rides, learn computer coding, or computer programming, knitting, crafts, embroidery or crocheting, visiting the library and reading books and traveling into another world through reading.

An introvert may like to browse the internet, watch TV or go for a walk or drive.

Most introverts do have low self esteem and also have less social support than extroverts do.

The low self esteem coupled with less social support in introverts can be detrimental when an introvert is experiencing depression.

Introverts disappear because they become inundated from too much stimulation without a break to recharge.

Most times social situations are too much for introverts who need their own space and more often than extroverts do and so introverts will shut down when they are overwhelmed.

Most introverts do have good memory and most introverts also have better long term memory than extroverts.

Introverts are not any smarter than extroverts as they are the same in terms of intelligence.

However around 70 percent of gifted people happen to be introverts but being an introvert does not make you any smarter than being an extrovert.

Introverts don't trust easily and instead introverts actually find it very hard to trust people.

Extroverts don't understand introverts because they are wired differently and because the two personality types communicate in different ways.

Extroverts don't really understand introverts unless it's explained to them.

For an extrovert, being social comes so naturally that they can't really wrap their heads around the idea that some people don't like it at all.

Introverts do not sleep a lot or sleep more than extroverts although introverts sometimes need more time to rest and recover from social events.

Around 70 percent of introverts are HSP or high sensitive people although not all introverts are HSP.

Also if you're already a highly sensitive person or HSP then you are much more likely to be an introvert than an extrovert.

Introverts do sometimes have some mental illness and mental health issues just like extroverts do.

However introversion is not a mental health condition itself but instead is a personality trait.

Being an introvert means that you sometimes prefer socializing differently than extroverts although some introverts don't like socializing at all.

Typical introverts like to spend time alone or spend their social time with small groups rather than large ones, which may feel overwhelming and draining to them.

They also tend to want to discuss “real” issues rather than making small talk.

The traits of extraversion and introversion are a central dimension in some human personality theories.

The terms introversion and extraversion were introduced into psychology by Carl Jung, although both the popular understanding and current psychological usage vary.

An introvert is a person with qualities of a personality type known as introversion, which means that they feel more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what's happening externally.

They enjoy spending time with just one or two people, rather than large groups or crowds.
