Introvert
You’re someone who feels best when things are calm and not too loud.
You might enjoy quiet time, doing hobbies, or spending one-on-one time with a friend. Big parties or group activities can be fun, but only for a little while. And that’s totally okay.
What to Know:
- Being an introvert doesn’t mean you’re shy or don’t like people. It just means you feel recharged when you have time to yourself.
- You might get tired or overwhelmed in big crowds, but feel totally happy hanging out with a close friend or even just doing your own thing.
- People may think you’re quiet, but they might not know how good of a listener you are, or how thoughtful your ideas can be.
- A lot of creative people (like artists, writers, and inventors) are introverts.
- You don’t need to be loud to be a leader. Quiet people can be amazing leaders because they think things through and connect well with others.
Things You Can Try:
- Test a little “extrovert mode”: Saying hi first or joining a group activity once in a while can actually feel good, even for introverts.
- Use your strength: You’re likely someone who listens deeply and thinks clearly. That’s a superpower in friendships, school, and life.
- Stick with what works: You don’t need to change who you are, but it’s great to stretch your comfort zone from time to time.
Next Steps:
You don’t need to “fix” anything. But if you ever feel like your quiet nature makes school or friendships harder, talking to a counselor can really help. It’s all about understanding yourself better and finding what works for you.
Extrovert
You get your energy from being around people and jumping into things.
Whether it’s hanging out with friends, leading a group project, or making people laugh, you like to be involved. Social time doesn’t wear you out, it actually recharges you.
What to Know:
- Being an extrovert doesn’t mean you’re always “on” - but it does mean you enjoy being with others and are probably pretty good at it.
- You might be the one who starts the group chat, plans the hangout, or gets others excited.
- Extroverts often take the lead naturally, and people tend to feel drawn to their energy.
- But even outgoing people can feel nervous, sad, or awkward sometimes, and that’s totally normal.
- While you like being around others, learning to enjoy quiet time or deep focus can make you even stronger.
Things You Can Try:
- Slow down sometimes: It’s okay to take a break from being social. Quiet time can help you reset and refocus.
- Be aware of others: Some friends may be more introverted, and might need space or quieter hangs.
- Keep building confidence: You already know how to jump in, now try listening deeply and being okay with silence too.
Next Steps:
Keep using your energy in great ways, but also stay curious about yourself and how you handle quiet moments. If you ever feel like you’re always “performing” or get burnt out, that’s a sign to check in with yourself, or even talk to a school counselor to sort things out.
