Have you ever been asked a question where you can only choose between two choices? But you are reluctant to pick either one, because you don't completely embody, agree, or come to terms with one or the other. Well that's me. Why do I have to only like black and not white?... why do I only have to only like white and not black? Why can't I like grey? I mean, some things just depend.
For instance, I am feeding my introversion now, at this very moment. You'll find me typing away, sitting on the floor of a Barnes & Noble while listening to some good ole Frank Sinatra. To be honest, this very blog is me feeding my introversion (a little side note: I am so glad I finally decided to start it! It's so liberating!). Trust me, there are many times where my mom says "¿Tania, por qué no eres una niña normal?", because I can spend hours in silence, literally not say a word to anyone. It's not that I'm upset at all...and gosh does it irk me when people give me a face and ask "Why are you mad?!". It's just that I want to spend time with my thoughts, and don't find the need to talk. Or I can read for hours just to realize it's 3:30 in the morning! Or because sometimes I just want to stay at home the entire day, because I don't feel like dealing with people. Hahaha, I'm sure you're probably thinking, "umm no, I think you're more of an introvert", well let me get to the part where I tell you that I'm also an extrovert. Just as much as I love spending time in solitude, I do enjoy having a good time. Meeting new people, going to new places, learning new things gives me life! Going out with friends to dance, hopping from discotheque to the next because we just can't get enough of good music, playing fútbol outside until you can't even see the ball then relocating inside a gym to keep playing until our legs give out (or any sport for that matter)! Easily holding conversations with patients I hardly know nothing about...except their health history...strangers you can say, at the hospital. Or just making people laugh with my sense of humor and goofy self, something people love about me, so I've been told on numerous occasions. I think that's my extroversion at its finest! I think my ambiversion works wonders! I feel my introverted self produces some of my best work, and my extroverted self knows just how to project it. I think I "have the best of both worlds" as Susan Cain puts it. It's a spectrum!Here are simple definitions for each term:
"Solitude is a catalyst for innovation."
