Introverted Extrovert

By Dev Aswani

"Extroverts sparkle, Introverts glow. Extroverts are fireworks, Introverts are a fire in the heath."

There is no use and neither any need to describe what the words introvert and extrovert mean. Basically, asking an introvert to open up is as rude as asking an extrovert to shut up. Introverted extrovert is like more of an extrovert with introvert characteristics .It can be portrayed as a type of omnivert. Actually it signifies that naturally introverted but selectively extroverted. And it's like a gift if one knows how to control or approach different situations or circumstances otherwise it can slice your throat. Introvert connects to sense of loneliness whereas an extrovert revolves around

socialisation. To some extent introverted extrovert is like probably saying that I am not anti-social but. selectively social. If I say that I am an introverted

extrovert that means I'll either talk your ear off like I have done 4 lines of coke or drank 6 cups of coffee OR

I'll be a Buddhist monk vow of silence mute.

There is no in between.

But a person possessing such quality is like an open book in the vicinity of of his/her trusted or loved ones otherwise the same person will become shy and wear the mask of ignorance. And it is not easy to comprehend that if you are the one like that, it's depends solely on the way your surroundings react to you or

pickle about you, if you are a social butterfly for them or cocoon undergoing the cycle of habitat. Its funny for such person that when they are loud people tell them to be quiet but when they are quiet people question what's wrong with them! Fact is, both are useful ways of being in the appropriate context, we need both. There is quote that clearly justifies person possessing this quality :-

"I am very picky with whom I give my energy to. I prefer to reserve my time, intensity and spirit exclusively to those who reflect sincerity."

Moreover it has more enhancements over flaws which adds to the what society calls an image means that the person will be associated with such

attributes even if its not the case.

After an hour or two of being socially on such person needs to turn off and recharge.

There is a line that:

"Sometimes a listener also needs a listener." Here, a listener is a person who is probably an introvert who also needs a listener sometimes, means he acts as an introverted extrovert.

So it's not a wanna be thing to be an introverted

extrovert.

It depends on how one adapts to the surrounding environment, either one wants to be a beautiful bouquet or just a flickering flower or a beautiful bouquet of flickering flowers.

Basically an introverted extrovert person is a person with selective choices of when to evolve or shut down.

He/She holds the choice whether he /she wants to be an open book or an open book with closed

chapters.
