This article did not describe me at all.<\/p>\n If there’s one thing we should have learned by now, it’s that dividing people into two categories is too tidy to possibly have any real-life merit.<\/p>\n Yes, I am an extrovert—I’ve taken the official MBTI\u00ae personality<\/a>, as well as several other similar ones, and I’m always an ENFJ<\/a>. In other words, I am truly an extrovert.<\/p>\n I remember, however, the first time that I lived with someone other than my parents and sibling; the first time I “moved out.”<\/p>\n My husband-then-boyfriend and I decided to become roommates in college, and one of\u00a0my\u00a0crucial\u00a0deciding considerations\u00a0was, “Is this going to be a hang-out spot for our friends?” Because I didn’t want that.<\/p>\n There’s this perpetuating myth that introverts are all at home, cozied up under warm blankets reading novels while extroverts are out partying past ten p.m. This, of course, is absurd.

I have met my fair share of outgoing introverts, as well as shy extroverts—being shy has nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n
