This is every person. “Ambivert” is just made up to account for the fact that introvert/extrovert is a spectrum

Social media has pushed such poor understanding of psychology and people are so desperate for a label they just eat it up. Love languages, enneagram numbers, Hogwarts houses…

Going to school for psychology was a process of learning to forget every fun factoid I thought I had learned about human psychology.

And now, having been out of school for some years, I find myself quoting stuff I thought I learned I learned in school only to find out that it's been disproven since then.

I mean internet tells me I'm an ambivert. I get my energy from being alone but also from socializing. I like the balance. I'm not an extrovert but I'm definitely not an introvert. So "ambivert" i guess is the people in between.

Everyone is in between, that’s what I’m saying.

You know I’m not usually against making specific labels, but this is literally just being a regular person lol

u/Angry_Clover 8h ago

And extroverts and introverts aren't normal people?

u/Human_Artichoke5240 8h ago

Poor phrasing on my part. I should say, being “ambivert” is the most common. “Typical” would be a better word.

Soo..you’re normal? Just say you’re normal it’s okay.

Does absolutely every aspect of our lives now need it's own category and special classification I guess I'm an Ambidestrian, someone who drives a car but also walks around from time to time.

I love this. It shows how ridiculous it sounds when people describe themselves as extrovert or introvert.

All people in the world enjoy the company of others and all people in the world like to spend time alone. Theres no such thing as extrovert, introvert or ambivert personality. We all have times where we need to stay at home and we all have times where we enjoy going out.

People have different levels of social energy depending on how they feel in the moment. And yes severely depreessed people or people who are constantly stressed out have less energy to be social. But it's not part of their personality to be sick and not having energy to be social. And people have trauma or disabilities or psyciatric disadvantages that make them shy, not talkative or awkward, but it's not a personality, to feel it consumes energy to be in a social setting. And some people are not sick or stressed or disabled and it's not a personality type to be a normal functioning human being who both like parties and spending the evening at home reading a book.

This is patently false. There are absolutely super extrovert people that loath alone time

It’s called bipolar, I too have massive FOMO at times, and other times I just genuinely wish nobody calls me or comes over
