I've not discovered the word 'Ambivert' before now. Thank you!
When I reflected on my younger years, I would have called myself an extrovert, but not always.
More lately, I've called myself an 'adapted introvert'. Many think of me as a 'quiet extrovert'.
I now know that I need a lot of quiet time for reflection and creativity... and I can get some of my social injection by placing myself in an environment with a certain ambiance and interesting people around me, not necessarily with me. I'm also visual, so ambiance is critical ;)
I absolutely loved reading your reflections—thank you for sharing so openly. “Adapted introvert” and “quiet extrovert” are such beautifully nuanced ways to describe the in-between, and I really relate to what you said about needing quiet time to nurture creativity. I think so many of us creatives find comfort in being surrounded by life and energy, even if we’re not directly engaging with it—just soaking up the ambiance, as you so wonderfully put it.
Isn’t it lovely to find a word that helps us better understand ourselves? I’m so glad ambivert resonated with you.
Yes, I have a feeling we’ll speak more too. Looking forward to that.
Det er, i denne kontekst, det på Substack, jeg henviser til. Min gruppe af paid subscribers får adgang til den fulde oplevelse, hvor e-bøger med fokus på madlavning, bagning, kreativitet, slow living og solo-iværksætteri, video-tours af mit hus, markeder, udflugtsmål, caféer m.v. er inkluderet, hvor interviews med ildsjæle kommer inden længe m.v. er en del af oplevelsen. Jeg leger også med tanken om at lave nogle små mini-workshops, men det er stadig på tankestadie.
Arh okay, det vil jeg se frem til, som altid lyder det mega spændende 😊
Og i øvrigt tak for dit fine nyhedsbrev, altid dejligt med inspirerende tanker der stikker lidt dybere, og får en til at vende sine egne perspektiver.. Som svar på dine spørgsmål, er jeg kommet frem til, at jeg nok inderst inde også er ambivert. Måske endda til den mere introverte side. Jeg nyder faktisk mit eget selskab, og jeg har ikke kedet mig et sekund i mit liv. Indtil videre ihvertfald 😅
Tusinde tak, Carina, for at dele dine tanker. Jeg tror, vi er så mange, der kan se os selv i denne personlighedstype - ambiverte, der i bund og grund er allerstærkest funderede i den introverte lejr. Dér ligger jeg også selv og hygger mig, det er helt sikkert.
Didn't know the word ambivert before, but I like it, that fits me better too. I'm very good at socialising with people and love interactions, but I need a lot of time alone, and will choose staying in reading or writting over going out 90% of the time 🤗
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I believe ambiverts are quite common among writers and creatives who express themselves through "silent art forms" such as writing, photography, ceramics, and painting. These pursuits often require tapping into an inner realm, where alone time becomes essential for reflection, undisturbed connection with our inner voice, and nurturing creativity and wisdom. It's wonderful to feel connected as part of the same creative family!
Have a good one, and thanks for being part of my community in here!
Exuberant post, in solo travel I would say I am am extrovert, curious for connection but coveting my own time, my own schedule or non schedule, non fussy about activities and sight seeing. A wanderer, daydreamer. Enjoyed this read. Looking forward to this time in my life.

Kære Sif
Dit nyhedsbrev “inner cirkel” er det på mail, eller substrack? 😊

Great read! I’m looking forward to all recipes.
I, too, am an ambivert.
I must have time to myself. My close friends and family know it as “Kathy time”. It started at a young age and I’ve always needed it.
But I also know when it’s time to interact with people, and I try and make it just as satisfying.
Have you ever heard of Tasha Tudor? Her life was one of mystery, and her legacy lives on…
Good day!
