Thank you Ranjini. I have a huge amount of respect for both the introverts and the extroverts. But I also think that there is a beauty in flexibility of switching to both. Intrinsically I guess even I have to define myself an introvert. But when I am with people I really like to be an extrovert. Kinda ironic isn’t it? :) ..

I think you hit the nail on the mark in this reply – Being very comfortable being yourself around people. I think it is a beautiful gift and a wonderful attitude to have. :)

Thank you for response, it really means a lot to evoke a discussion on these innate thoughts, it kinda keeps the excitement and the quest of knowing more about people going :)

‘For the question whether I am an introvert or not, I am not really sure as to how to answer.’ I doubt this about myself too.
‘Sometimes I felt very comfortable being by myself where people around didn’t seem to matter, that stage I guess was a good stage of being an introvert.’ I feel the same.

But guess what? I am kind of happy being an introvert. I take a lot of time to start talking. So people initially think that I’m silent. I love to see their face when they see the real me :P
I do have problems being an introvert, but I don’t think it is that important. :)

Thank you Myrtle. Sorry if I have conveyed it too strongly here, I never meant to hint it against the introvert. The idea of the post was a choice to shift between the two when it is convenient and the flexibility for each individual to make that stretch. Even today I believe that when it comes to a lot of things I am an introvert and every introvert is certainly an extrovert when it comes to certain other things.

My thought was – wont it be magical to be an introvert when we want to and be an extrovert when we want to? It would certainly open up a lot of the world for each one of us.

Thank you for the recommendation, I would love to pick up that book. I shall update you soon as I read it :).. have a lot of catching up to do on some really great books :)

I am one and not embarrassed to admit it. Introverts are good listeners and connect with their friends at a higher emotional level. They spend much time in introspection and need more ‘me time’ than extroverts. Although there is no clear demarcation between introversion and extroversion, and people are generally ambiverts, yet introverts like to find strength in solitude after donning the hat of an extrovert.
I recommend the book ‘Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking’ by Susan Cain for every person who has been mocked for her/his nature. You will feel rejuvenated and will be proud to be who you are!

Thank you Vinodini :). Well I guess that makes two of us. In the same boat. I have loved the journey for the shift, it brings in that great seanse of growth. I still prefer to be an introvert in certain occasions and in certain others just be as gregarious as possible. I think the best part is to know that we are capable of stretching on either fronts :)

Amit, thank you for the thoughts. I haven’t come across that book, it would be interesting to read though..

I agree, being an introvert is not bad at all. I like to shift between the two sometimes and I also love a few moments where I am an introvert. It’s just that knowing that we can have a flexibility to be either of the two, taking the best of the two is quite an amazing feeling. That way, we don’t have to worry about missing out on something :)
