Hi, my name is Shubh Arora and this is my first blog on a topic that I think defines all of us. According to me there are three types of people in this world- introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts. 

INTROVERTS VS EXTROVERTS

Going by Google, an introvert is a kind of person who is quite shy and prefers to be alone rather than being with other people.

But that is not what I think an introvert is. Introverts prefer their own privacy, which does not mean that they are shy or something. It’s just that others can't understand their way of thinking. Introverts know more about themselves, their strengths, and weaknesses rather than knowing about the outside world. They prefer to be emotionally attached with materialistic things rather than being attached to human beings. If we look carefully into their lives, their way of living is quite interesting. For instance, I have a friend who is an introvert. He loves to play video games and do interesting stuff in the comfort of his house. Like who would not love to cuddle inside a blanket and play PS5 all day long...

Extroverts on the other hand know the true meaning of living a peaceful and happy life because of their innumerous instances with other people that come and go through their lives. They are always ready to share their thoughts with someone they find capable enough to understand their feelings - one who is a good listener and can empathize with them in their sufferings. They have emotional attachment with only a few people who matter to them the most. They appreciate the beauty of environment and can find love even in the nature.

HOW IT IS TO BE AN AMBIVERT

I am an ambivert- a kind of person who is flexible in every kind of situation, knowing when to talk and when to listen(partly social and partly excluded). Sometimes I can be an introvert and exclude myself from the rest of the world just to watch movies and web series all day long. At that time, I do not want anyone to interfere between me and my movies nor I care about anyone's life at that time. Actually, being alone helps you in analyzing yourself, delving deep into your own thoughts and preparing a right action plan for yourself. 

At other times I just want to be with someone who can listen to my feelings and allow me to share my experiences. That is when I call my friends and go into a deep conversation with them for at least two hours. When my friends are with me, we like to discuss about any topic, relive our past, or enjoy visualizing our future. It is just at that moment of time, when I feel relaxed, leaving all my tensions and worries behind and attaining a sense of nirvana. I also love to spend time with my family, and I believe that laughing and enjoying with our family members are one of the most precious moments of our lives that everyone should once experience it. 

THE MUTUAL COEXISTENCE 

It is not that introverts can't express their feelings, or extroverts can't listen to others, it’s just about to whom you are talking to. I have a small group of three people whom I consider as my lifelines, besides my parents, of course! One is an introvert I already talked about, one is kind of an extrovert who loves to share her feelings with us, and one is an ambivert just like me. They are the only ones whose feelings matter to me the most. We friends know each other so much that sometimes their silence tells us what they are thinking about. Like we are a perfect match for each other. Everyone shares their point of view and we all have a sense of respect and love for each other.

That is the main aspect of friendship. If we learn to love each other the right way, have a healthy communication, and appreciation for one another, then it does not matter whether you are an introvert, an extrovert or an ambivert. All that matters are the true feelings that flow between the souls
