3 Situations That Tell You You're An Introverted Extrovert

Deep down everyone likes taking those personality quizzes that randomly show up in your timeline. You just have to know what Disney character you most resemble, what your tastes say about your future or if you’re a peacock, lion or koala. And for some reason a lot of icebreakers when you meet people at events like college orientations, retreats, etc. you get divided into groups of people with the “same” personality. But if you think about it, it all depends on your environment. You could be a diagnosed extrovert, but be the shyest person when presenting in your English class. Those people could be called introverted extroverts, and here is how to tell if you’re one of them.

Situation: In Class

1. You like participating by answering questions and sharing your comments.

2. But you always look around to see if others have to say something first.

You don't want to take over the class!

3. You actually look forward to presentations.

4. Unfortunately for some reason your body betrays you and your face gets red.


Situation: With friends

1. You're probably the best one in your friend group in making new acquaintances.

2. Except when they're your friends' friends.


You never know their intentions, are they trying to steal your friend from you? Are they on the same friendship status as you? Hmmm. Then you look at your friends thinking they can't trade you!

3. Sometimes you get "friend crushes."

You know you do! You see people and you're like "wow, he/she is so cool, I wanna be friends with him/her but what if they're too cool for me?"

Situation: With your crush

1. You're a talkative person but suddenly don't know what to say.

Or you just end up not saying anything at all.

2. Since you lose all your usual courage, you can't have a good chat so you end up finding stuff by "researching" him or her.

No one can ever know.

3. You have a lot of friends and are sociable but don't know what to do when she/he is around so you end up fake ignoring the person.

4. Even small interaction is meaningful.


But when you compare your behavior with your crush vs with classmates or friends you get sad because you get along better with them than with your crush.


This is all okay though, you do you! Even though some things are uncomfortable, you're still cool!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
