This is a really useful term for me to have. I definitely identify with both introverts and extroverts, I need a certain amount of social activity or I start to feel despondent and lonely. But when I've expenses that energy I turn into an introvert again and have to recoup with some quiet downtime. And there are social situations that I find just too overwhelming to enjoy. It's an ever-changing balance. It'd seem to me like a majority of people would be more like this than not. Is that not the case? I know a lot of public discussion likes to separate things into black and white, introvert and extrovert, but isn't much of the world made up of various shades of gray more often than not?
