You are viewed as the person who is outgoing and the one who is constantly socializing and always up for the next adventure. That may be true but sometimes the ones who are viewed as outgoing can be introverts at heart. Here are 10 signs that you may be an outgoing introvert.

Being social can be fun but sometimes exhausting

Meeting new people is something you like to do, no doubt. Every weekend you hang out with your group of friends and it's always a good time. You enjoy being a social butterfly but sometimes you just need to step back and take a break. Whether that includes being alone on a weekend night or watching movies and drinking wine with your best friend.

Not every nightlife attraction fits your personality

Going to clubs is fun every once in a while, but can be overwhelming at times. You are more comfortable going to bars or pubs and being in a laid-back atmosphere. Allowing you to be yourself and letting your personality shine.

New friends don’t compare to loyal friends

Your used to the same group of friends and you feel the most comfortable around them. You can be yourself without having to put on a façade. Hanging with new people can be fun, but sometimes you start to get bored or things aren’t exciting as you thought.

You need to warm up when you enter new territory

When you walk into a party, people assume that you are going to be the life of the party. In reality, you are analyzing your surrounding and the people there. You are quiet at first, and your friends ask, "why aren't you socializing?" They don’t realize that you just need time to settle in and you'll be the social butterfly they always see.

You’re selective with who you interact with

Trying to find people who click with your personality can be a hard. Developing relationships past being an acquaintance is something you struggle with, and it may be better to have a few close friends than 20 “friends.”

People confuse you for an extrovert

Your friends and family think that you are a total extrovert because you are social with everyone you meet. You try to tell them that, that is not always the case and sometimes it takes you a few minutes to get the courage to be that extroverted person they think you are. Proving to them that someone can be considered both introvert and extrovert is an actual thing.

You over think everything

You could be chilling with friends or at a party having the time of your life. It looks like you're living in the moment but, actually living in your head. You are over thinking that thing that happened either ten seconds ago, earlier that day, or even last week.

Being an outgoing introvert is not a bad thing, you get to live the best of both worlds.
