Being an ambivert is emotionally exhausting. I have absolutely no problem performing in front of thousands of people on stage. But, ask me to talk to a front desk person and I will have to emotionally prepare myself for 15-20 minutes, and even then I'll beg my boyfriend do it.
Trust me, I'm as confused as you are. I have literally danced/sung along to prerecorded fart/burp sounds in Shrek the musical 5 nights a week for 2+ months, but often the mere thought of 1:1 interactions can give me crippling anxiety 😳 Brains are weird.
tldr: I'd literally rather sing and tap dance in front of the whole restaurant than go through the emotional turmoil of asking a complete stranger working at the venue where the restroom is.
xoxo, a girl who just opted out of getting In-N-Out drive through on the way home because I don't have the emotional energy rn 😳 (and I LOVE animal fries, y'all 🍟🍔).
If you're new to the term "ambivert" I wrote about it a little bit in this fake boyfriend @AzureFunctions tutorial I built awhile back. If you just found out you're an ambivert today, welcome! 🙋🏼♀️ It's a very fun flavor of social anxiety, imo. medium.com/microsoftazure…
