[Music]

hey psyched goers welcome back to

another video

before we start we would like to thank

you all for the support that you've

given us

psychtico's mission is to make

psychology and mental health more

accessible to everyone

so thank you now back to the video do

you describe yourself as an introvert

or an extrovert in 1921

carl young coined the two terms to

describe people who were open and

outgoing

and those who are shy and reserved as

the stereotype goes

extroverts are the ones leading the

conga line while introverts are those

who have their nose in a good book

but what if you don't feel like you fit

in either category

well people who identify with both

personality types are called

ambiverts and they're more common than

you might think

making up about 68 of the world there

are plenty of great traits that can be

found in extroverts and introverts

so being a mix of the two gives

ambiverts benefits from both ends of the

spectrum

while no ambivert is exactly like one

another

here are nine things that make ambiverts

attractive

number one you have great leadership

skills

do others always compliment you on your

leadership skills

and this is a skill that comes almost

naturally to ambiverts

in group settings you're able to take

charge and channel both of your

extroverted and

introverted sides to guide and meet the

needs of each of your teammates

this may mean utilizing each of your

peers individual strengths

and being open to all the ideas brought

to the table with a creative mind full

of ideas you know how to bring

everyone number two

you're in tune with your intuition

whether you realize it or not

as an ambivert your spot-on intuition is

one of your most

important and attractive qualities

because you have strong beliefs

and you're outgoing you know how and

when to stand your ground

you aren't afraid to act when something

feels wrong

compared to others you tend to be more

observant than you let on

since you have a habit of picking up

external cues and changes

as you go about your day number three

you're picky but in a good way because

of your social and bold qualities

it's easy to assume that all ambiverts

are eager to make friends

well this may not be the case for most

instead

determining your most valued friendships

is like using a claw machine

it requires selectivity effort and time

although you're more open and sociable

compared to introverts

it does take a while to get on your best

friend list and become someone you turn

to for a good laugh

comfort and support number four your

ability to sympathize and empathize with

others

doesn't go unnoticed are you always the

one that your friends go to when they

need support

showing sympathy and empathy is your way

of acknowledging

understanding and validating someone's

emotions

ways of expressing sympathy and empathy

can range from lending a shoulder to

lean on

sharing a good laugh with someone

providing words of reassurance or even

simply letting a friend vent you about

their hard day at work

with the ability to show compassion and

consideration who better than an

ambivert to rely on

number five you're a great communicator

and listener

are you able to keep conversations going

as well as listen to what others have to

say

according to psychologist paulette

kaufman sherman taking on the qualities

of both

introverts and extroverts allows you to

have enough time to think

before you speak and to also be able to

share your ideas

and to speak your mind freely from small

talk with co-workers to talks of

politics at the dinner table

you have your fair share of input but

also an openness

to hear what other people have to say

number six

you know how to adapt to different

social settings can you always make

yourself fit into

any social situation another attractive

quality of ambiverts

is their ability to bring out their

extroverted and introvert sides

wherever it fits best well you may make

the perfect

plus one at parties you also fit right

in at a book club

museum trips and the other more relaxing

types of social settings

because of your skill you're able to

make connections with others

no matter how different their

personality may be

number seven you aren't attention

hoggers

have you noticed that ambiverts don't

always want to be the center of

attention in social settings

while you're more than capable of being

a lively entertainer

you also enjoy standing off to the side

sometimes to let others take the

spotlight

this is because like introverts

ambiverts also need time to recharge

number eight you can also be

unpredictable are you always the one who

comes up with exciting plans for your

friends and loved ones

ambiverts have the unique ability to

keep the spark alive in almost

any of their relationships through their

spontaneity

the ideas you have in mind for a hangout

or a date can range from walks through a

park to rock climbing

your spontaneous like nature makes you

not only fun to hang around

but also someone to make memorable

moments with

and number nine you aren't afraid to

show your interest in others

how do you show someone that you're

attracted to them

some people may show it through stolen

glances across a room

finding excuses to have a conversation

or even through gentle but subtle

touches

but because of your confidence as an

ambivert

you're more direct when it comes to

showing your interest

while you might not directly tell your

crush how you feel you're not as likely

to shy away from any prime opportunity

to approach and interact with someone

you like
