I am Ambiverted - is that bad?

Post Reply New Topic

I identify myself Ambiverted. It means that are both introverted and extroverted. I do enjoy social outings, being social and confident in that area but sometimes I want quiet time like watching movies, riding bike, don't speak in middle of crowd etc. I am pretty assertive person myself. It seems rare to meet someone else who would match you in terms of dating and relationships because of difference between introverted and extroverted are common personality traits in the society.

I find myself being Ambiverted such advantage for my career success. I tend to focus half of time being myself and also learning others. Unfortunately I had to face passive-aggressive people everyday, which turns me off from talking to them. It not healthy for me for communicating.

So is it bad thing as me being Ambiverted, and assertive person when luck coming to dates and relationships?

I’m the same way. I used to be introverted. I find being an ambivert to be better than being an introvert.

A person who exactly matches your level of extroversion is always rare no matter if you are an extrovert, an introvert or an ambivert. It's not three distinct categories. Someone who is slightly more extroverted than introverted will still have a more similar level of extroversion to you than to an extremely extroverted person.


Extroverts tend to have an easier time dating than introverts. Ambiverts probably tend to have an easier time than introverts too. Assertiveness is generally seen as a positive trait but if it's too extreme (e.g. if it causes intolerance or arrogance) it no longer is or if it is coupled with bad social skills it may come across in the wrong way.

I used to be an extreme introvert, spending all of my time reading and studying. Now, I find that I like being with people.

So being either introverted, extroverted nor ambiverted affects your chances of finding a date or relationship then?
