Being an outgoing introvert can be extremely difficult for others to understand. Often, people who aren't outgoing introverts see you as being rude. Here are nine things that you'll understand if you're an outgoing introvert as told by "The Parent Trap."

1. Small talk just for the sake of talking is your worst enemy

It's not that you don't care about others, but you just don't feel the need to talk to someone just for the sake of talking. If you're only going to talk to that person out of politeness, you would just rather not.

2. You like to be with people but only up to a point

Outgoing introverts love being around people. However, they can only take being around people for so long. The time spent around people varies among outgoing introverts. When they need to leave an event or party, it's time. We don't even feel bad about it.

3. Once you reach your maximum people point, you need time to be alone and recharge

The event or party may have been fun for a little while, but you've had enough of people. As soon as your alone, you suddenly feel better.

4. There will be some days where you only want to be with a select few who are close to you

This is a hard one to explain to non-outgoing introverts. It doesn't mean we don't like you. There's just some days we only need a little bit of a specific person to recharge and refresh. Usually with one to two other people, just enjoying the day at a leisurely pace.

5. Your energy comes from both being with people and being alone

Everyone's reaction when they hear an outgoing introvert try to explain this idea.

6. Your need to be alone is often viewed as being rude

Some days, we are more extroverted, but other days we tend to be more introverted. When this occurs, we're often seen as being rude for needing to be alone. Try asking us to do anything and this will be our response. Unless it's separately and away from other people.

7. Before you leave for an event or party, you set a time of when you will leave

While most people would say that you're missing the point of even going to the event or party, outgoing introverts need to schedule a time to leave or they will get too burnt out. Trying to explain this to non-outgoing introverts looks a little something like this conversation between Halie and her dad.

8. Once you actually arrive at the event or party, you stay close to someone you know

Anything to avoid small talk. If you can avoid small talk during the entire time you're at the event or party, you silently celebrate.

9. You have a hard time keeping friends because you don't need to constantly be in contact with them

As an outgoing introvert, you could go days without talking to someone and still pick up right where you left off. You hate having the same conversation over and over again. Instead, outgoing introverts would rather talk less but have more meaningful conversations. Shocking, I know.
