@mojomoomoo ☑️ Ambivert enjoying Mastodon
😉
@davidrevoy
haha, I didn't think to include ambivert, plus only four options are available. Oh and don't they say that everyone has some traits either way.
@mojomoomoo No problem, I was mostly kidding about it, I added it just for pleasing my inner appeal to completionism 😆 I'm not sure anyway if introvert/extravert is a spectrum. For sure, I'm mostly an introvert that love social time IRL, but it just cost me so many energy that I need later hours painting alone to recover.
@davidrevoy don't worry i got it wasn't totally serious thanks to you using the wink emoji. It's when you have sarcasm/humour but no emojis when you have to wonder which way the post goes.
@davidrevoy @mojomoomoo Oh, me too. I think when I was younger that I was closer to a true extrovert, but with every passing year I find myself more of a shut-in...and I'm fine with that (cancer treatment/surgery left me at high risk of respiratory problems from things like Covid). Most of my friends are far-flung, so I'm social via my computer.
@zoomydu @davidrevoy @mojomoomoo another ambivert here (or extroverted introvert) I present as an extrovert in many contexts but it's so draining.
@zoomydu @davidrevoy @mojomoomoo like you I was definitely more of an extrovert when I was younger to the extent that I got energy from other people and couldn't imagine staying home on a friday/Saturday night. Lots of fomo!! Now I'm more than happy to stay here.
@JoFountain @davidrevoy @mojomoomoo Precisely this. As a teen I was involved in sports, drama, competitive public speaking, a cheerleader, show and chamber choirs, and partaker of cornfield parties on the weekends. Now...ugh. The things I do the most are largely solo (running) or just my DH and/or DS (bingewatching). The pandemic made it so that we weren't even eating in restaurants or taking in frequent movies in a theater. Even running errands is too people-y for me, most days.
@zoomydu @davidrevoy @mojomoomoo one of my greatest pleasure is going to a movie on my own. Loved lockdown. Maybe I was always like this but now I'm more comfortable in my own skin? If you haven't already I'd definitely encourage you to read this book by Susan Cain
"Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking"
@JoFountain @zoomydu @davidrevoy @mojomoomoo This is the first time that I have heard the term #ambivert but I identify so much with extroverted introvert. Will use this from now on!!
@mojomoomoo @davidrevoy Yeah. Me, too (i reliably score right on the midpoint of the extro/intro scale)
