The idea that there are 2 neat buckets—one for #introverts and another for #extroverts—is now seen pretty universally as outdated.

But most folks still don't seem to grok that the distribution follows a bell shape. In other words, THE VAST MAJORITY OF US are somewhere in the middle.

So if you've always had the nagging suspicion you were one of them "rare" #ambiverts—you were right! You can continue behaving uncharacteristicaly for whatever bucket people tried to fit you in, guilt free!

@missy_lynn outgoing introverts can also become #Ambiverts. We're still shy and can find people overwhelming but if there's a work or cause motivating us, or we have a script, some of us can push through. I'm a chatty ambivert at work but at home I collapse drained and usually say No to party and pub invitations.
