Ambivert is defined as "a person whose personality has a balance of extrovert and introvert features ." Now, if you're like me you take the personality quizzes that pop up on Facebook that can tell you whether or not you are an extrovert or an introvert. But what about the people in the middle? If you're one of those people that can't choose you might be an Ambivert. Ambiverts are the people that can't decide. An Ambivert is a kid that sits in the middle of the see saw rather than one one of the opposing ends. They are the ones who would die to be the social butterfly but, desire to stay the couch-potato. The ambivert society is the ones who can really value the solitude and relax within these environments- similar to an introvert. Yet when it is time for socializing and being around people, the extrovert side can really push through.So, how can you tell what you are? Here are a few signs that can help you, the reader, decide if you are an ambivert and live the best of both worlds.
1. You are indecisive
Your brain becomes a magic 8 ball when trying to decide your plans for the evening. Trying to decide between going to a party or staying home and watching Netflix. Would you rather go explore the city or put on some headphones and tune out the world?
2. You love people, but your home is where you long to be.
You envy the socialites and encourage yourself to go out and be with friends sharing gossip and laughing at jokes and hanging out. But as you socialize your mind wanders to thoughts of curling up in bed, reading and scrolling through your twitter feed or binge watching gossip girl on Netflix.

3.Consequences
3.Consequenceswhen you let your inner extrovert out for a good time and you decide to make a rash questionable decision, it is up to your introvert side to take the left overs and deal with the consequences.
4. Circle of friends
While you may be open and extroverted in your close knit group of friends, you may be shy and introverted around other people in public environments such as school or the mall.
5.Communication skills
Texting or trying to get in contact with an ambivert is a 50/50 shot. An ambivert is like a caffeinated squirrel. Once you grab their attention, make your move. But, if there is a lot going on, be prepared for their response to be a priority at the moment.
6.Boredom
Whether it be from watching Netflix to hanging with family, you can soon feel bored of the situation and ready to move on to the next task at hand.
9. The equalizer
You create the balance in your friendship. If a friend is being loud, you tend to take the role of the quiet one to even out the presence.
10. Overwhelmed
While you enjoy going out to new places and meeting new people, you tend to get an overwhelming feeling as you meet more new people.
So have you come to a conclusion? Think of this as an example. Some people are vanilla. Other people can be chocolate. But, sometimes there is the type of people who are swirled right down the middle. Each person is different and everyone can have traits from this list. It is what makes everyone unique. You get the privilege of playing for both teams and having the best of both worlds.
