#ambivert

[girlinpastelshoes]

i called myself an ambivert once because as much of an excitable, bubbly, social butterfly i am. i do like to be alone sometimes, especially when i'm in the comfort of my own home or when i'm out and ready to go home.

my sister said otherwise. she said that just because i'm not afraid to to be loud in public that i'm not an ambivert, my mom agreed. and maybe they were right, but the way my sister held it over her head as if i was some privileged teenager pretending to have a disability threw me off so bad it was hard to take her very seriously.

there is nothing wrong with being who you are, and you shouldn't be made to feel stupid for exploring yourself!

i'm not sure if i'm an ambivert, omnivert, or just a simple extrovert. maybe i'll never know. but it's okay being just me.

Using this as my intro bc I’m wayyyy to lazy to type one out 😋

[ruminate88]

I am absolutely two sides of the same coin. As much as I can go out in the world and participate, I am also a homebody at the same time. I want to be home in my little protective space with my lights. I have various lights throughout my house—one is a cube that I turn on that changes various colors. It’s awesome! I like my candles, my music, my coffee, and my movies. Of course, that’s my little personal space, and then I have my favorite heated blanket I wrap up in, and I’m truly good and happy.

But I can only handle so many days of that before it’s like, “Okay, I need to get out with the world!” I’ve been hiding for however many days in a row, and now it’s time to get into reality. I go out into the world and participate the best that I can, even if I’m socially awkward. I will push myself to talk to people, and I love to make people laugh, but then when I’m done, I’m absolutely done. It’s like, “Okay, I went out, I pushed myself into the world, I made some people laugh, I interacted with other human beings, and now I’m okay to go back home, back to my personal spot!” Yay!

When I say personal spot, I mean me and only me, because that’s when I can be my weird self. That’s when I can dance to my favorite music, talk to myself, and entertain myself. Truly! I don’t need to be entertained; I know how to entertain myself all around. However, it’s rare that I find people that I can absolutely share this “inner world” of mine with. I know they’ll understand it, they won’t judge it, and if you make it into my inner circle, that’s a big deal to me. That’s not an accident. That’s not random. It’s important, and I don’t take it lightly. As much as I want that little personal inner world of mine to be respected, I respect anybody that’s able to make it inside. Literally, you’ve entered a spot in my heart that I always protect and shield, so if I let you in, you are absolutely a special person. It’s not because I think I’m so special, great, and perfect; it’s just that you understand me, and it means a lot!

I know not everybody understands what it’s like to be AuDHD, where you are both needing to be in the world with people but also needing to be alone at the same time. I am the type of person who will push myself to talk to people, and as soon as I say something really awkward and embarrassing, then I have to go off by myself and calm myself down. Also, if I don’t know how to end a conversation, I truly will just walk away. I’m serious! That’s how awkward I am. But at the same time, I really love to make people laugh, and it comes naturally to me. Yet, I usually have to feel a crowd out because not everyone has a sense of humor. You do have to know who you’re talking to and what they find funny.

When it comes to my mom, dad, and brother, we often talk in movie quotes. I make them laugh when I bring up funny movie quotes, especially in a rough situation, and they know what I’m talking about. But I can’t do that with everybody because not everyone has seen all the movies that I’ve seen. I know this, and it’s not me trying to necessarily perform for people; it’s just my comfortability with people. But you can’t laugh with everyone—some people are really serious and don’t have much of a sense of humor, so then I have to just be proper and polite. Usually, it doesn’t take long for me to figure out if people are going to enjoy my sense of humor or if they need me just to be kind and nice.

Then there are some people who need to do the talking, and they just want you to only listen. That can be frustrating at times, but I usually know when someone truly just needs to take over and talk the whole time, and I just accept it. There are some people who never let me get a word in, and that’s okay because it’s not like I have a ton of stuff to say anyway. I’m usually pretty quiet. I’m 100% an observer first, anyway. I usually stay to myself, and it’s rare for me to fully open up and talk to somebody and share real conversation. But once I do open up, I realize I overshare every time—and it is what it is. This is just the AuDHD experience. I am daily learning what makes me, “me”. Taking my life step by step, one day at a time!💫

"I made flags for Introverts, Ambiverts, Extroverts." by ItaAsh

Introvert flag: I went with a blue colour to represent solitude and peace that introverts most one in their lives. I went with a turtle shell because that's kind of how introverts are sometimes they get out of their shells but sometimes they like to be in their shells. And when it came to the divider it's supposed to represent recharge because introverts always have to recharge before they need other people, and they also represent a fence as they are more close out than most people tend to be. And the fact that they value their privacy. I also made the turtle at the bottom reflective to symbolize the fact that introverts like to reflect and recharge about things sometimes and that's why I did it that way. Ambiverts: I went with green because it felt kind of right in between being extroverted and introverted, that's why I had a turtle shell and a butterfly. And I went with a wavy line that goes a diagonally because it's supposed to symbolize the fact that sometimes ambiverts tend to have waves of social needs but also waves of wanting to be more isolated. In the circles are supposed to represent the social network that they tend to have sometimes and the balance between the two extremes. Extrovert: For this flag I went with yellow because extroverts are very bright and open and welcoming to a lot of people that's why I had a bunch of butterflies all together like that to symbolize the fact that they like big gatherings. And the line is supposed to represent the fact that they get their energy from having a big social network represented by the rings. I figured I made these flags for people who want to represent themselves with them, and also I hope that introverts become more welcome in society as normal that's kind of my motivation for making the introvert flag anyways and I just decide to make other flags as well for different types of social needs.

end of the month na naman.

Realized the other day that I’m an extrovert now! I know it’s a made up term that doesn’t really matter to anything in my daily life, but I used to so strongly identify as an introvert. It’s weird to realize that’s changed! My personality has done a complete 180° in the last few years and I couldn’t be happier. I was perfectly fine before, this isn’t a self-hate thing or an “introverts suck!” thing! But I’m so much happier, loving, and optimistic now. So yeah :] I’m an extrovert and I like who I am and I’m really happy 🩵
