The Solitary Socializer

First of all I want you all to ponder over certain questions…Do you like being the centre of attention? Do you sometimes feel really annoyed and wish to be alone? Have you ever tried talking to your own self? While at other times you converse endlessly with others? So, pause for a moment and think…Are you and extrovert or maybe an introvert? Well, congratulations!! We all fall in the same category. The so called ‘extroverted introverts’ or for that matter the ‘introverted extroverts’. Seems perplexing but let me tell you that it’s not just you and me but every other person on this planet falls in the same category.

Well, to go by the definition, a person who remains isolated and enjoys the company of a few close ones and keeps himself or herself busy thinking is an introvert whereas a person who is more outspoken and outgoing and interacts with a lot of people is an extrovert. But, everyone has the capability of expressing their own selves and even the most outspoken student of your class sometimes sits in the corner pondering over serious matters of life. Understanding people and interacting with them might be a cake walk for you but introspection if tried is even possible for all.

You could be a beach person who wants to run around on those tender sands with your friends or you could be a mountain person who finds solace siting on the peak with the gentle breeze kissing your face every moment, but remember that every coast and every peakhas seen both a sunrise as well as a sunset.

So don’t be sad or overexuberant over certain matters. Just be who you are… the proud AMBIVERT that is both an extrovert as well as an introvert. We are all those flexible souls who can get lost in our own thoughts just as easily as we can lose ourselves in a conversation.

Thus, I am a Solitary Socializer. Half of me is filled with bursting words while half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude, yet I also crave people. I wish to add love and life to everything, but I also wish to nurture my own self and go gently. Everyone is entitled to live the life of their own choice and now that we all know that we are ambiverts we can adapt to any situation. So, just be like a river and go with the flow.

Having a party with friends at night might sound like a brilliant idea but cuddling up with a book in a blanket is not a bad idea after all. Moreover, if you choose the option of sleeping at night that could be one of the best ideas. So, just be who you are and live your life to the fullest like proud ambiverts.
