Extroverts like being the center of attention, while introverts prefer to avoid crowds and enjoy their own space. But what about those who sometimes seek attention and sometimes prefer solitude? Many of us know about introversion and extroversion, but the line between these personality traits can be unclear. It’s common for people to show extroverted traits at times and introverted traits at other times. Some may even display both traits simultaneously, confusing their identity. That’s where the concept of “ambivert” comes in, aiming to encompass introverted and extroverted characteristics. Let’s explore five signs to help determine if you have ambivert tendencies!

Central-oriented individuals are social butterflies who thrive in the company of others. They have a natural talent for pleasing people and are skilled at engaging in meaningful conversations. However, when faced with large gatherings, they may experience feelings of anxiety and fatigue. Despite this, they often persevere and continue enjoying the company of their friends.
2. Likes dating strangers but gets confused when the other person starts taking the initiative

People who don’t take sides often enjoy dates with people they don’t know. They see it as a chance to talk about interesting things and maybe make new friends. They’d rather meet new people in person than use dating apps. They like going to busy places like cafes and bars to look for someone they’re attracted to.
Even though they want to make new connections, they often feel uncertain when their date advances, especially if the other person pays for them or shows a lot of affection right from the first date. They tend to daydream about their dates but can become shy and lose their confidence when these daydreams become reality.
3. Planning parties but being shy about ordering
Central individuals are always enthusiastic and enjoy planning fun outings with friends. They often lead in choosing the location, setting the table, and actively inviting everyone in their group. For them, the smooth execution of the plan brings joy to both themselves and the entire team.
However, when they arrive at the party venue, such as a luxury restaurant, neutral individuals suddenly feel shy and are hesitant to order food or get eating utensils for themselves. In contrast to the lively discussions about the party in the previous days, they become strangely quiet and reserved.
4. Sing enthusiastically in the karaoke room but feel embarrassed when you see someone you know passing by

With a strong love for music, they always burn up the karaoke room. Central people do not hesitate to choose their favorite songs and grab the microphone whenever possible. Even when playing songs they’ve never heard before, they can sing backing vocals, cheer, and have fun with everyone with all their enthusiasm.
Despite their enthusiasm, they become shy when someone accidentally passes by and stops singing. Neutral people are often not afraid to express themselves in front of close people but become more timid and closed when interacting with strangers. They frequently silently observe the people around them in public and immerse themselves in their thoughts.
5. Likes to go out for entertainment in her free time but decides to relax at home

After a stressful work week, even people who are usually neutral in their preferences also enjoy spending their free weekends at the cinema, snack shops, or in bustling streets. By temporarily setting aside the chaos of life, the weekend becomes a time for them to relax their souls and recharge their energy for the upcoming work week.
However, they also recognize that going out can be expensive and temporary entertainment. Instead, they stay home and relax in a comfortable and familiar environment. For these neutral individuals, simply having a comfy bed where they can curl up in a blanket and watch their favorite movie is a lovely reward for themselves.
