Season 1 Sibling Podcast Unfiltered Conversations Society & Culture

Are you truly an introvert, extrovert, or something else entirely? This captivating exploration of personality types ventures beyond simplistic labels to uncover the fluid nature of our social batteries and how they shape our interactions.

We journey through the fascinating spectrum of personality types, introducing listeners to ambiverts (balanced individuals with traits from both sides) and omniverts (those who dramatically shift between extremes depending on circumstances or company). The conversation reveals how our social tendencies evolve throughout our lives, with many reporting more extroverted behaviors in youth followed by an appreciation for solitude as they age.

Debunking persistent myths forms a cornerstone of our discussion, particularly challenging the stereotype that introverts make poor leaders. The evidence? Look no further than powerhouse introverts like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Michael Jordan—all revolutionaries in their respective fields despite their reserved tendencies.

One particularly thought-provoking segment explores a world where everyone wore visible meters displaying their current social battery level. How would this change our interactions? Would it foster greater empathy when someone seems withdrawn, rather than taking their behavior personally?

For parents and partners navigating relationships with different personality types, we offer practical insights on balancing needs and expectations. The key lies in understanding that differences in social energy aren't personal—they're simply part of what makes each of us unique.

00:00:00.401 --> 00:00:04.331
Welcome to Brother, sister, whatever where real talk meets zero chill.

00:00:04.331 --> 00:00:04.932
I'm Lisa.

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.230
And I'm Josh Subscribe so you don't miss the chaos and let's dive in.

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.271
Are you the life of the party or the one making an early exit?

00:00:13.271 --> 00:00:24.373
Today, we're going to dive in to what it means to be an introvert, extrovert or ambivert, breaking down the stereotypes and exploring how our social batteries really work.

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:25.202
Oh boy.

00:00:26.449 --> 00:00:28.000
What do you think introvert?

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.222
Extrovert means Like?

00:00:29.222 --> 00:00:30.445
What's your definition of it?

00:00:30.806 --> 00:00:31.867
Oh, this is.

00:00:31.867 --> 00:00:35.060
You know, I'm really not good at this stuff.

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:38.969
So I think introvert means like I'm more to myself.

00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:42.942
Extrovert is like I'm more open, that's all I know.

00:00:43.323 --> 00:00:51.045
Well, you're right, that's the overall picture of it, but recently I discovered that there's actually like a middle ground.

00:00:51.787 --> 00:00:51.887
Oh.

00:00:53.090 --> 00:00:55.134
Which is an ambivert.

00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:57.002
Okay.

00:00:57.662 --> 00:01:05.524
Or an omnivert, and I'll tell you what the difference is between the two, because I obviously I looked into this because I was very interested.

00:01:05.524 --> 00:01:14.375
Ambivert is like a balanced mixed of both introvert and extrovert.

00:01:14.375 --> 00:01:24.891
Okay, okay, so kind of like in the middle yeah and an omnivert is somebody that can drastically change between the two.

00:01:25.992 --> 00:01:27.935
Oh shit, okay, that would be me.

00:01:28.396 --> 00:01:30.947
Like one would look at that person and be like.

00:01:30.947 --> 00:01:32.932
That's a personality change completely.

00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:34.102
That's kind of how I am.

00:01:35.364 --> 00:01:35.605
Yeah.

00:01:35.825 --> 00:01:38.373
Yeah, because it depends on who I'm with.

00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:40.362
What would you call yourself?

00:01:40.362 --> 00:01:41.887
An introvert or an extrovert?

00:01:42.268 --> 00:01:46.862
If I only had those choices, yeah, yourself an introvert or an extrovert.

00:01:46.862 --> 00:01:48.465
If I only had those choices, yeah, if I only had those choices.

00:01:48.465 --> 00:01:49.668
I think I've always considered myself introvert.

00:01:49.668 --> 00:01:50.572
Okay, you know where.

00:01:50.572 --> 00:01:52.102
I'm just kind of like more to myself.

00:01:52.102 --> 00:02:03.289
But I think people in my personal life might say yes, I think people who see me on the outside, I think they would be like what?

00:02:03.289 --> 00:02:06.775
Like no, josh is not introvert at all.

00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.247
Have you always felt like you were an introvert?

00:02:11.221 --> 00:02:14.971
Um no More when I, as I got older, Okay.

00:02:14.971 --> 00:02:15.512
Yeah.

00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:17.567
So when you were a kid, you were more like extroverted.

00:02:17.647 --> 00:02:18.028
For sure.

00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.046
So I want to see, like, what the actual like traits were for each of these.

00:02:23.046 --> 00:02:25.890
And introvert is somebody.

00:02:25.890 --> 00:02:49.516
It's all about what makes you feel energized inside, and so, whether that's quiet solitude being alone makes you feel more energized, or being around people, Makes you energized.

00:02:49.516 --> 00:02:50.638
Makes you energized.

00:02:50.638 --> 00:02:56.914
So it's all about the energy level that determines which part of the scale you're on.

00:02:57.796 --> 00:02:58.860
Interesting Right yeah.

00:02:59.281 --> 00:03:01.188
I always thought that I was an introvert.

00:03:01.188 --> 00:03:17.114
I had friends, I enjoyed spending time doing things, but I really loved just being alone reading book or quiet, just being in the quiet.

00:03:17.114 --> 00:03:29.014
But now that I'm aware that there's an ambivert and an omnivert, I could say in some ways that I'm an ambivert.

00:03:29.014 --> 00:03:32.510
I'm able to kind of have a balance between the two.

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:39.013
Also, don't you think that it has something to do with who your circle is?

00:03:40.881 --> 00:03:47.049
Who you're choosing to spend time with, yeah, and what personality type they are, or just in general?

00:03:47.049 --> 00:03:47.670
Just in general.

00:03:48.319 --> 00:04:02.175
I mean because the way I look at it is like if we're saying that this brings us joy let's say, but also we're saying like, oh yeah, being out or with people like this doesn't interest me.

00:04:03.121 --> 00:04:14.143
Could there also be an argument that it might also have to do with the people we're hanging out with, because I have a couple people where, when I'm with them, it's like I could be crazy.

00:04:14.143 --> 00:04:18.833
You know, okay, I don't mean crazy like stupid, you know, I just mean like crazy.

00:04:18.833 --> 00:04:25.894
You know, like like laughing, fucking, like you know, on the whole opposite spectrum of what I would normally.

00:04:25.894 --> 00:04:43.408
And then others it's like you know I'm sitting down and it's like yeah, yeah, sure you know what I mean like it's like completely the other side of the like you could sit in silence and watch something, or even just sit in silence sometimes like have have that few minutes.

00:04:43.548 --> 00:04:44.228
With people.

00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:45.932
With people, yeah, and just sit in silence?

00:04:45.932 --> 00:04:49.668
Well, to me that would be an ambivert.

00:04:51.781 --> 00:04:54.072
Maybe, but it could be extreme right.

00:04:55.901 --> 00:04:57.887
Okay, so for you, you feel like it's more extreme.

00:04:58.461 --> 00:05:02.425
Well, I think it's extreme, because I'll have people say why are you so quiet?

00:05:02.425 --> 00:05:05.348
You know like what's wrong, are you okay?

00:05:05.348 --> 00:05:06.130
I get like what's wrong, are you okay?

00:05:06.130 --> 00:05:08.120
I get that all what's wrong, are you okay?

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:15.649
So, depending on the person that you're with, yeah, and then with other people they're like damn, they're like, I had no idea you were so crazy.

00:05:16.129 --> 00:05:17.512
Okay, yeah, I guess.

00:05:17.932 --> 00:05:18.333
I don't know.

00:05:18.333 --> 00:05:19.055
I don't know.

00:05:19.339 --> 00:05:19.779
Interesting.

00:05:20.461 --> 00:05:24.384
And it depends on if it's something new or something not new.

00:05:25.545 --> 00:05:25.906
Like what.

00:05:26.487 --> 00:05:54.627
Like, if I go to a new restaurant that I've never been there before and I'm with half of the people I've never met before, I'm automatically going to be more introverted Versus if I go with a group of people that I'm used to, it's a restaurant where, like, I know the waiters and whatever I might be on the other spectrum, and if I'm with my kids, I'm always in introvert mode, you know, because that's just how I am.

00:05:54.627 --> 00:05:56.192
You know, I don't know.

00:05:56.899 --> 00:06:06.954
So I know this is why it's yeah, but that's the thing, like I wonder if everybody kind of experiences the full spectrum.

00:06:07.654 --> 00:06:07.875
Yeah.

00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:19.975
And if that, even if it's not even so much as like a global thing, but maybe like okay with certain people or certain times in their lives, like ages, you know what I mean.

00:06:20.016 --> 00:06:28.927
That's it Like what if you're thinking of someone and you're saying, oh no, this person is for sure introverted, but then what if they're only like that with you?

00:06:28.927 --> 00:06:32.154
So then what does that mean?

00:06:32.154 --> 00:06:36.091
Are they introverted or are they not introverted, Are they?

00:06:36.151 --> 00:06:38.860
meeting your vibe or are you meeting theirs?

00:06:40.132 --> 00:06:41.093
Well, that's it.

00:06:41.093 --> 00:06:42.817
And then what does that mean?

00:06:42.817 --> 00:06:49.081
Is that ambivert where it's in between, where you kind of pick up on the volume of where you're at?

00:06:49.081 --> 00:06:56.420
To not sound so confusing, I would say that as I'm getting older, I'm noticing, like you know.

00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:57.362
I just want peace.

00:06:57.541 --> 00:06:57.903
Mellow.

00:06:58.184 --> 00:06:59.351
Yeah, like I go.

00:06:59.351 --> 00:07:08.338
I went on a vacation recently and I think 99% of the time I was relaxing Versus like let's you know.

00:07:09.009 --> 00:07:10.656
Go discover this part of the island.

00:07:11.050 --> 00:07:22.009
Yeah, which I did, you know which I did, but I had the most enjoyment when I was just kind of looking at the ocean, chilling versus that would never be me when I was younger.

00:07:22.009 --> 00:07:28.471
I'd be like, hey, I want to do something, like I don't want to just sit here, you know, and like, look at the water, like yeah, it's.

00:07:28.651 --> 00:07:29.072
It's just.

00:07:29.072 --> 00:07:47.247
It's funny how circumstances, alcohol, the different kinds of people that you ages, everything just changes the vibe that you put out in terms of personality and how you react to people and what makes you happiest.

00:07:47.247 --> 00:07:51.189
It's just interesting so now we're going to ask the weekly what if question.

00:07:51.189 --> 00:07:52.732
Ask the Weekly what If?

00:07:52.732 --> 00:07:53.872
Question.

00:07:53.872 --> 00:08:01.620
What if everyone had to wear a visible meter showing their social battery level?

00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:06.386
It's almost like a bracelet that says oh, I'm an introvert, extrovert.

00:08:06.386 --> 00:08:10.529
How would that change social interactions?

00:08:10.910 --> 00:08:10.990
Whoa.

00:08:10.990 --> 00:08:14.360
Well, I think it would change things a lot.

00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.494
Yeah, I think it would change things a lot.

00:08:18.494 --> 00:08:18.995
Yeah, I think it would.

00:08:18.995 --> 00:08:28.220
I'm I'm kind of surprised, actually, now that I think of it, that there isn't um, like, uh, like that doesn't exist on like facebook, you know, like introvert, extrovert, or you know like, think about it, it's true.

00:08:28.220 --> 00:08:32.317
You know like watch, watch, watch, it be created now someone's listening to.

00:08:32.317 --> 00:08:35.143
Yeah, I think it would change things a little bit.

00:08:36.090 --> 00:08:48.245
I mean, it's like anything really right, when you know more than you normally would about the stranger, you automatically you know, like I don't know what to say.

00:08:48.245 --> 00:08:48.926
You know like.

00:08:48.926 --> 00:08:52.721
So, for example, if I meet someone and I'm like, hey, how's it going?

00:08:52.721 --> 00:09:00.260
And oh, okay, your bracelet, you know, and it says you're introvert, you know, and when you say like battery, do you mean like it shows how much energy they have?

00:09:00.260 --> 00:09:03.629
Like right now, like I'm at like a 20%.

00:09:03.629 --> 00:09:05.638
So it's like, oh, I'm not going to talk to this person.

00:09:05.638 --> 00:09:07.035
This person has no energy right now.

00:09:07.035 --> 00:09:14.779
Yeah, maybe, you know, usually you find that out in a few moments after talking to the person.

00:09:15.041 --> 00:09:15.441
Right.

00:09:15.441 --> 00:09:17.464
So that would kind of preemptively Like hey, my name's.

00:09:17.504 --> 00:09:18.245
Lisa, how are you?

00:09:18.245 --> 00:09:27.431
Yeah, I'm good.

00:09:27.431 --> 00:09:28.995
Thanks, it's like okay, their battery level is pretty low, right, you know?

00:09:28.995 --> 00:09:35.317
It might explain a few things, though Instead of maybe taking it personal, you might say oh well, okay, look, see the battery level.

00:09:35.951 --> 00:09:36.472
That's a good.

00:09:36.472 --> 00:09:37.417
That's a good point.

00:09:37.417 --> 00:09:38.754
Didn't think of that.

00:09:38.754 --> 00:09:43.115
I think there's assholes everywhere, and so I don't think.

00:09:43.450 --> 00:09:45.477
I think we can all be an asshole a little bit.

00:09:45.638 --> 00:09:55.038
Yeah, but I mean, I think there's assholes everywhere in the sense that they don't give a shit about your social battery level.

00:09:55.038 --> 00:10:00.863
I want this or I need this, or whatever.

00:10:00.863 --> 00:10:04.740
They're coming with their own stuff right For sure.

00:10:05.390 --> 00:10:08.581
Now imagine if it showed a list of everyone's boundaries.

00:10:08.581 --> 00:10:13.359
There's a bracelet with all the boundaries there.

00:10:13.359 --> 00:10:15.827
A digital you know pops up like this, you know, and it's just like, okay, these are all the boundaries there.

00:10:15.827 --> 00:10:18.514
A digital you know pops up like this, you know, and it's just like, okay, these are all the boundaries.

00:10:18.514 --> 00:10:20.217
Wow, imagine that.

00:10:20.217 --> 00:10:21.961
Yeah, I think you're right.

00:10:21.961 --> 00:10:27.544
I think there's some people that would not respect the boundary of the introvert.

00:10:27.544 --> 00:10:33.017
Extrovert people would take advantage to a degree or or just not bother with.

00:10:33.418 --> 00:10:41.476
I would like to think that there would be a little bit of compromise and understanding.

00:10:41.476 --> 00:10:44.317
I think so.

00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:57.919
I think there's people that are already like that, just from you know, I think I'd like to think that I'm one of them If I'm talking to someone and I see that they're not feeling great or that they're depressed, or you know.

00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:01.105
I mean depression can look like so many things, but you know what I mean.

00:11:01.144 --> 00:11:01.304
Yeah.

00:11:01.850 --> 00:11:07.793
I would be one to be like oh, you know, I'm going to maybe be quiet, just because you know I care about how the other people think.

00:11:08.333 --> 00:11:09.676
Yeah, interesting Okay.

00:11:09.976 --> 00:11:10.496
I like that.

00:11:10.496 --> 00:11:11.038
That's a good.

00:11:11.038 --> 00:11:11.678
What if, though?

00:11:11.999 --> 00:11:16.706
Yeah, okay.

00:11:16.706 --> 00:11:20.860
So what is one of the biggest myths about introverts?

00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:24.015
That they're not leadership material.

00:11:25.198 --> 00:11:26.842
Oh, really, is this a fact yeah?

00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:31.475
Based on the research that I did, that they lack social skills.

00:11:32.538 --> 00:11:32.820
Really.

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:37.489
Yeah, that they're unfriendly, that they don't have fun, that they're unfriendly, that they don't have fun.

00:11:37.870 --> 00:11:39.014
That they're unfriendly.

00:11:39.014 --> 00:11:39.817
Yeah, oh boy.

00:11:40.250 --> 00:11:44.322
Did you know some of the more popular introverts in the world?

00:11:44.322 --> 00:11:46.957
Can you guess off the top of your head what you think?

00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:49.097
Like we're talking like massive celebrities.

00:11:49.097 --> 00:11:51.953
Celebrities or public figures Elon Musk 100%.

00:11:51.953 --> 00:11:52.797
Definitely yes.

00:11:52.797 --> 00:11:56.417
Bill Gates 100%.

00:11:57.471 --> 00:11:58.918
Yes, you got two out of three.

00:11:59.993 --> 00:12:02.389
And then Warren Buffett 100%.

00:12:03.173 --> 00:12:03.697
Michael Jordan.

00:12:04.451 --> 00:12:07.015
Oh yeah, 100%, yeah, a hundred percent.

00:12:07.331 --> 00:12:08.437
All famous introverts.

00:12:08.658 --> 00:12:08.759
Yeah.

00:12:08.789 --> 00:12:10.397
But look at what they've managed to accomplish.

00:12:10.437 --> 00:12:10.658
Yeah.

00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:12.735
So not leadership material.

00:12:13.216 --> 00:12:13.638
Not true.

00:12:13.937 --> 00:12:14.259
Not true.

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:18.698
No yeah, even though they all have very different leadership styles.

00:12:18.798 --> 00:12:20.121
Of course, okay.

00:12:20.121 --> 00:12:21.677
So now what about extroverts?

00:12:21.677 --> 00:12:26.100
When you think of an extrovert, you think life of a party, right?

00:12:26.321 --> 00:12:27.811
Yeah, yeah.

00:12:27.971 --> 00:12:45.962
So, like you know, all those rock and rollers you know, uh, the Beatles you know, and all those guys uh, like you have to be some, you have to have some form of of of extroverting you to be able to go out and and do that every day, like day in, day out.

00:12:46.049 --> 00:12:47.072
For sure, for sure.

00:12:47.072 --> 00:12:51.321
Like Ariana Grande, a hundred percent is an extrovert.

00:12:51.321 --> 00:12:53.672
She has to be, she has to be.

00:12:54.033 --> 00:12:56.961
Do you think that extroverts are always on?

00:12:58.471 --> 00:13:00.356
No, I don't think so.

00:13:00.356 --> 00:13:01.078
I think there's.

00:13:01.971 --> 00:13:03.375
I think everybody has to have a downtime.

00:13:03.756 --> 00:13:05.140
Yeah, I think so.

00:13:05.990 --> 00:13:08.539
What do you think extroverts do for downtime?

00:13:09.970 --> 00:13:12.495
I don't know, go like skydiving or something, I don't know.

00:13:16.669 --> 00:13:21.549
Well, think, about it like reading a book or taking a walk, a solo walk, right.

00:13:21.549 --> 00:13:26.240
Those are things that are not necessarily only an introvert.

00:13:27.342 --> 00:13:27.523
True.

00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:33.702
So ambiverts, do you think that they're the most balanced personality type?

00:13:33.702 --> 00:13:37.876
It's based on levels, right, social levels.

00:13:37.876 --> 00:13:38.558
Yeah.

00:13:38.558 --> 00:13:45.677
So if you looked at it from that perspective, would an ambivert be the most balanced?

00:13:45.677 --> 00:13:49.390
Or, technically, are all of them have their own balance in their own way.

00:13:51.253 --> 00:13:52.014
Way over my head.

00:13:52.014 --> 00:13:53.456
Yeah, I guess, yeah.

00:13:54.096 --> 00:13:58.101
It's like a thought provoking thing, though, you know.

00:13:59.202 --> 00:14:00.605
When was this word created?

00:14:01.706 --> 00:14:02.629
What Introvert.

00:14:02.650 --> 00:14:08.735
Yeah, I know that sounds maybe funny, but like, like, is this a new thing or is this always been like our?

00:14:08.735 --> 00:14:14.115
Our, our, our great great grandparents talked about introvert and extrovert I don't know.

00:14:14.434 --> 00:14:15.818
I don't know when it was created.

00:14:15.818 --> 00:14:30.277
You'll have to look it up on your phone if you want to check all right, let's find out 1921 okay, so like 100 years yeah yeah, so oh wow, introverts focused inward, gaining energy from solitude.

00:14:30.277 --> 00:14:32.962
Was there, like a doctor, a specific doctor?

00:14:33.769 --> 00:14:33.850
Yeah.

00:14:33.850 --> 00:14:41.624
Or it was popularized by Carl Jung in his 1921 book Psychological Times.

00:14:41.624 --> 00:14:48.710
Jung's ideas were later expanded by Eysnick in the 1940s yeah, Interesting.

00:14:48.710 --> 00:14:50.477
And then the concepts became more mainstream in the mid-20th century.

00:14:50.477 --> 00:14:51.582
So the 1940s, yeah.

00:14:51.582 --> 00:14:53.110
And then the concepts became more mainstream in the mid-20th century.

00:14:53.690 --> 00:14:54.413
So the, 50s.

00:14:54.854 --> 00:14:57.823
Similar ideas existed in philosophy and psychology.

00:14:57.823 --> 00:15:06.832
Ancient Greek physicians proposed temperaments based on bodily humors that loosely corresponded to introversion and extroversion.

00:15:06.832 --> 00:15:17.163
So while the specific term introvert and extrovert became widely recognized in the early 20th century, the underlying ideas have been around for centuries in different forms.

00:15:17.309 --> 00:15:17.931
In different forms.

00:15:17.931 --> 00:15:19.094
Well, there you go.

00:15:19.094 --> 00:15:21.019
Okay, quickfire opinions.

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:24.937
Workplace stereotypes Are extroverts better leaders.

00:15:24.937 --> 00:15:26.404
We've already discussed that.

00:15:27.249 --> 00:15:27.350
Yeah.

00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:33.082
I don't necessarily think that extroverts make better leaders, you agree.

00:15:33.370 --> 00:15:33.549
Yeah.

00:15:34.091 --> 00:15:35.153
Dating and friendship.

00:15:35.153 --> 00:15:38.520
Is it easier for extroverts to form connections?

00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:40.530
Oh boy, I'm going to say no.

00:15:40.912 --> 00:15:41.573
I don't think so.

00:15:41.573 --> 00:15:43.216
I don't think so.

00:15:43.778 --> 00:15:46.350
I think everybody forms connections in their own way.

00:15:46.350 --> 00:15:48.897
I don't think it's exclusive to extroverts.

00:15:48.897 --> 00:15:53.332
Are people too quick to label themselves introverts or extroverts?

00:15:53.332 --> 00:15:57.821
I don't know if it's too quick.

00:15:57.821 --> 00:15:59.423
I don't think it's too quick.

00:15:59.423 --> 00:16:01.192
I think you know yourself.

00:16:01.513 --> 00:16:03.336
I don't even think about those terms.

00:16:03.437 --> 00:16:04.820
Well, right.

00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:09.495
So, it's not like you're going through your day-to-day thing saying I'm an introvert.

00:16:09.917 --> 00:16:12.123
Right, you know like no yeah.

00:16:12.590 --> 00:16:18.523
But you do know what kind of a personality style?

00:16:18.523 --> 00:16:19.513
Well, you said it.

00:16:19.933 --> 00:16:22.581
Yeah, I think I'm omni Okay.

00:16:22.581 --> 00:16:24.394
Yeah, I think Okay.

00:16:24.394 --> 00:16:25.977
Still confusing.

00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:31.433
I know, I know Again, introvert, extrovert is very clear and defined.

00:16:31.433 --> 00:16:33.797
But then the omnivore and the ambivore.

00:16:33.797 --> 00:16:35.739
You're like, okay, but like what?

00:16:35.739 --> 00:16:36.559
If I like this?

00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:37.601
Like what does it put me?

00:16:37.601 --> 00:16:38.062
You know, like.

00:16:38.062 --> 00:16:42.246
I think maybe now we're putting too much pressure on labeling ourselves.

00:16:42.246 --> 00:16:47.782
Personality tests Do you think they're helpful or do you think it's like pseudoscience?

00:16:49.711 --> 00:16:52.078
I don't know A little bit here and there.

00:16:52.078 --> 00:16:53.652
You know, I don't know.

00:16:54.134 --> 00:16:55.216
I think that can be fun.

00:16:55.216 --> 00:16:57.621
Certain ones obviously can be fun.

00:16:57.621 --> 00:17:00.375
I do find it helpful a little bit.

00:17:00.375 --> 00:17:03.202
I like knowing what makes me tick.

00:17:03.202 --> 00:17:11.221
Now I understand myself better, almost Okay, can you train yourself to be more extroverted or more introverted?

00:17:12.344 --> 00:17:12.865
Probably.

00:17:14.471 --> 00:17:22.900
But what do you think would be easier, if you were an extrovert, training yourself to be more introverted, or if you were an introvert, training yourself to be more extroverted?

00:17:23.601 --> 00:17:24.021
I don't know.

00:17:24.549 --> 00:17:30.423
I think it would be easier if you were an extrovert training yourself to be more introverted.

00:17:30.750 --> 00:17:31.213
Yeah, I guess.

00:17:31.213 --> 00:17:33.174
So that would probably be easier.

00:17:33.174 --> 00:17:41.275
Actually, now that I think of it, it would be easier because you don't have to put yourself out there like the introvert would have to.

00:17:41.275 --> 00:17:42.799
You know, in that, sense.

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:44.955
Yes, oh, one last question though.

00:17:45.196 --> 00:17:45.376
Mm-hmm.

00:17:46.490 --> 00:17:55.174
What if you're married or in a relationship or, even better, if your children have different personality types than you?

00:17:55.174 --> 00:17:56.336
How would you handle it?

00:17:56.336 --> 00:17:56.377
I?

00:17:56.397 --> 00:17:57.299
think my kids do.

00:17:57.299 --> 00:18:02.103
It's about making sure that you understand that you know they're not supposed to be you.

00:18:02.103 --> 00:18:08.215
I try to accommodate whatever they're doing or feeling or whatever you know.

00:18:08.215 --> 00:18:12.059
So if one is more introverted or feeling or whatever you know, so if one is more introverted, I try to help that one.

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:16.346
Focus on you know, whatever that might entail.

00:18:17.710 --> 00:18:18.730
That they love, for example that they love, you know.

00:18:18.809 --> 00:18:22.260
And then the one who's the opposite, I'll you know.

00:18:22.671 --> 00:18:23.715
Okay, so here's the thing.

00:18:23.715 --> 00:18:34.877
So let's say you're more introverted, like myself, and your kids want to have playdates because they're extroverted, and your kids want to have play dates because they're extroverted and they always want to have other kids over.

00:18:34.877 --> 00:18:36.682
How do you deal with that kind of a thing?

00:18:37.230 --> 00:18:40.076
I do it, you do it does it drive you nuts?

00:18:40.557 --> 00:18:46.996
a little yeah a little so you just put up with it for sure how do you recharge afterwards?

00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:53.553
you know, then I'm alone, I take my, I go to bed at eight you know, or whatever there you go but.

00:18:53.553 --> 00:18:57.662
But I think it's important that they have their things.

00:18:58.122 --> 00:19:01.215
Yeah, you know well, I guess it's the same thing as as work, right?

00:19:01.215 --> 00:19:11.085
Okay, you owning your own business, you have to have kind of like a shift in you're meeting them where they are, so to speak exactly, and so the same kind of thing applies.

00:19:11.489 --> 00:19:11.609
Yeah.

00:19:11.789 --> 00:19:16.943
And then you just go home and recharge the way you need to recharge, so you have a higher social level.

00:19:17.488 --> 00:19:17.749
That's it.

00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:20.957
Or your battery is charged up for the next day, right?

00:19:21.136 --> 00:19:21.597
That's it.

00:19:21.597 --> 00:19:22.540
That's it.

00:19:22.540 --> 00:19:23.281
You have no choice.

00:19:23.281 --> 00:19:23.643
Yeah.

00:19:24.650 --> 00:19:26.773
