When you are both an introvert and an extrovert, going out with friends can be both exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time. It seems as if you have the two little people on your shoulders telling you what to do.

When your friends initially ask you to go out with them, the introvert comes out,

But then the extrovert side gives you a little pep talk, and you decide, why not? It could be a lot of fun!

You arrive at this foreign place with people you have never seen before, and the introvert starts to creep back in...

So you decide to just lay low and take advantage of the free snacks.

After a while though, the extrovert tells you to put yourself out there and meet new people!

But the introvert makes a compelling argument — do you really feel like making small talk? You are pretty content just standing here...

But then someone new stands next to you,

And they strike up a conversation with you.

However, as the time goes by, the little angels on the shoulder start to converge into one, and you start to have a great time. The bubble starts to fade, and your inner extrovert starts to shine as you begin to feel more comfortable with the surroundings. Moral of the story: while it's rough at first to get out of your comfort zone, once you cross the boundaries, you are home free.
