10 Signs You're an Outgoing Introvert
You took a quiz and found out you're an introvert.
This was life-changing.
Now you have a new way of understanding yourself and how you relate to the world.
You can't get enough of your new identity, so you read every listicle about introverts
you find.
Some articles describe you with frightening accuracy: you like spending time alone, prefer
calm environments, and think deeply.
You'd rather text than call.
Yet other articles don't resonate with you at all.
You don't sit home alone every weekend watching Netflix in your pajamas.
You have a lot of friends, and sometimes you like to party.
You start to wonder, Am I really an introvert?
Well, you're probably an introvert, but you're an outgoing one.
Introversion and extroversion are not black and white.
Think of these personality traits as being on a spectrum.
Some people fall closer to the extreme ends, making them either very introverted or very
extroverted.
Others are closer to the middle, which gives them qualities of both introversion and extroversion.
If you're an outgoing introvert, you're an introvert at heart, but sometimes you act
extroverted because your personality is more middle-of-the-road.
So, in order to understand more about an outgoing introvert characteristics, here are 10 signs
you might be.

1.
Your energy level is closely tied to your environment.
You're sensitive to how your surroundings look, what kind of music is being played,
how many people are present, and the volume level of the room.
The ambiance of a bar or restaurant can either energize or drain you, depending on if the
place fits your preferences.
Likewise, a loud rock concert in a crowded stadium might be overwhelming but an up-close-and-personal
acoustic set at your favorite local music club relaxes you.
2.
You find people to be both intriguing and exhausting.
People watching?
Yes.
Meeting new people and hearing their life stories?
Fascinating.
Spending every weeknight hanging out with friends?
Not a chance.
As much as you enjoy people, you can only endure so much socializing before you need
downtime.
After a busy weekend or a long day at work, you feel the need to disappear and recharge
by being alone or with just one other person (a best friend, a trusted roommate or your
significant other).
3.
Certain people and interactions drain you while others recharge you.
You have a few friends who you could hang out with for practically forever.
It seems like you never run out of things to talk about.
Being with them is easy.
You actually feel better after spending time with them, not drained.
Other people eventually tire or bore you and you need to get away.
Being alone is better than settling for second-rate company.
4.
You can be charming but also deeply introspective and reflective.
You make small talk when it's expected of you because you know it can lead to deeper,
more authentic conversation.
People feel comfortable around you, and you easily get others talking and opening up about
themselves.
When you're out on a Saturday night, you make sure your friends have a good time.
However, most people don't realize how "in your head" you really are.
Although you appear easy-going and chatty, inside, your mind is always going.
5.
When you feel rested and recharged, you reach out to others.
You are often the one who gets all your friends together on the weekend.
Or maybe you organize the weekly after-work happy hour or throw parties at your house.
Playing the host allows you to socialize on your own terms.
You get to set the parameters, like what time the event starts, where it will happen, and
who is invited.
But when you feel drained, like a true introvert, you go silent and hibernate at home.
This is when the Netflix + pajamas thing makes sense.
6.
You need time to warm up in social situations.
But once you feel comfortable with someone, you have no trouble chatting.
Likewise, you won't spill your entire life story to someone within the first half hour
of meeting them, but you will reveal personal details when trust is built up.
The more someone gets to know you, the more your quirky personality (and your inner world,
which is the part of you that feels most authentic) comes out.
7.
It actually takes less energy to say what's on your mind than to make small talk.
Introverts like talking about ideas or connecting authentically.
Fake small talk bores you and drains your life force.
8.
You're selectively social.
It's hard to find people who you click with, so you have only a few close friends.
But you're okay with that.
You'd rather make your limited "people" energy count by investing it into relationships
that are truly fulfilling.
9.
You have no interest in trying to prove yourself in a crowd of strangers.
"Working the room" isn't your thing.
Nor do you feel the need to draw a lot of attention to yourself.
You're content hanging out at the edges of the party, talking to just one or two people.
10.
You're often confused for an extrovert.
Your friends and family don't buy that you're an introvert because you're just so social.
In fact, it may have taken a while for you to realize that you're an introvert because
you play the extrovert so well.
Now you find yourself constantly having to explain your introversion and how you get
your energy.
But people still don't get it.
Well, that's the 10 signs you're an outgoing introvert.
Keep in mind there's no wrong way to do introversion.
It's all about understanding your needs and honoring your own style,
even when that means being the life of the party one night then binge watching Netflix
alone the next night.
