Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert — Etymology of these terms
I find the etymology of these terms interesting! I’m curious to hear — do you identify as introvert, extrovert, ambivert, or avoid the labels altogether? I’d love to hear any feelings and thoughts you care to share.
“The Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, who popularized the terms introvert and extrovert, defined an introvert as someone who sticks to their principles regardless of situation, and an extrovert as someone who molds their self according to circumstance. Introversion later came to mean shyness, while an extrovert was someone outgoing. Today, an introvert is someone who finds alone time restorative, an extrovert draws energy from social interaction, and an ambivert falls somewhere between these two extremes.” — Merve Emre
