An extroverted introvert is someone who possesses both extroverted and introverted personality traits. They may appear outgoing and sociable in certain situations, but also need time alone to recharge. There are several synonyms for an extroverted introvert, including ambivert, social introvert, or outgoing introvert. An ambivert is someone who falls in the middle of the introverted-extroverted spectrum and can display both personality traits depending on the situation. A social introvert may be hesitant to engage in small talk or attend large social events, but enjoy spending time with a small group of close friends. Finally, an outgoing introvert may appear extroverted and personable, but still need alone time to recharge their energy.
