Introvert extrovert. These are terms you probably are all commonly familiar with, and you probably think you are confident in knowing which one you are are. But there are also versions like a ambivert and whatever one they come out with, there's a lot of them. But what I want to talk about is social energy on any given day. What do you do to replenish your social energy? What do you do?

Hey, good evening, Dewuan. I hope you had a really good day. Happy. Almost Monday. Weird to say the word happy before Monday. But you know what? Every day is a gift. Okay, where do I go for 100% mental charge? It's a very interesting question because I've literally never thought about this. And I guess I would say when I come home and I rest, I guess in my quiet space right by myself. That's where I get recharged

But then they'll say they're like a Scorpio or something like that rather than like a friend of mine. She always refers to me as a Scorpio and not an INTJ because that's what she identifies with. That's what she naturally prefers. And those types are more filler types. I found more feelers tend to prefer zodiac over personality typing as they find personality typing very boxed in, and they prefer Scorpio to be more known

I feel vibrant after that and occasionally nice hot tea in the morning with the early smoke of the pipe. You're good to go, but I genuinely love water though. That's my go to before I have to do any kind of large social event. I'm showering, but it's going to be like 2 hours. I'm going to take my time. I'm going to dance in the shower. I'm going to play my favorite music

As there are many lenses to understand the self, Myers Briggs is not one of them. It's not the only one. It's just one of the many. So that's just what I try to do with people and help them. But may you continue taking two hour showers and enjoy yourself, man? Because the longest I've ever been in the shower probably has been 30 minutes. It's hard to stay in the shower for a long time

So I see what you mean. Like people do. We do. I guess it's a human nature to want to be rare or special or something like that. So I can see that I see what you're saying with that. I think we have a ton of similarities because we have the same Sunshine, which is PISCES, and we're born very our days. I think we're one day apart, right?

I really appreciate this Dewuan. It helps me to kind of see how sometimes I'm more introverted and extroverted because when I do answer that question, it brings me to when I go walking, I go to the park and I really need to be by myself. And I need to have my headphones so I can listen to a book read or I can listen to a song or something while I am walking or just music I like

Again, I find that people online who take the 16 Personality test quiz at times can answer the questions in a way that is more their ideal setting than what is their natural default setting. So this is a great way to break up that ego and to kind of get more into what makes you you. And from that, we can get a more accurate type. So you said you feel more introverted, that's good. You feel more introverted in times of your preference and social recharge

Yes introvert extrovert. I'm an amrovert or I don't know multivert both sometimes one or the other sometimes both at the same time. It's an anomalous state, but it's possible

Miss Scottye, thank you for taking the time to respond to the swell. You seem pretty confident that you're an ambivert or multivert as you said, and that sometimes you're one or the other. I find this peculiar and interesting. As I have stated, we are all capable of being extroverts and introverts. But when you need to replenish your social of energy, where is it that you go to do that? Where do you go forget 100% energy, social wise

But now that I'm getting older than that, I'm returning to my more extroverted self and literally going out. And every time I go out, which has happened because I made the intention to do so. And I said conjured that energy every time I go out, I'm meeting these really interesting people, and there's always some type of confirmation that we met for a reason, or I've given them some really important information they need to hear or you're not even able to doubt

Nice to meet you as well. And thank you again for responding. And it's interesting because I have heard of this term an ambit one who is 50 50 in a sense that they don't really reside in one arena or the other in terms of the dynamics of personality

And I think when I was really young, I was an only child, too. So that's obviously something that plays into partly why I feel extremely comfortable alone for long periods of time. I was kind of a brainy kid, so I also kind of wanted sort of someone that I could really feel like I could engage somebody that had something to talk about. So it wasn't that I didn't want to talk
