An introvert, an extrovert, and an ambivert are different kinds of people who like to spend time in different ways.
Imagine you have a toy box. Some kids love playing with all the toys at once, they jump into the middle of the action, make lots of noise, and have fun being around other kids. These are like extroverts, they get energy from being around people.
Other kids prefer to sit quietly on the side, maybe reading a book or building something slowly. They still enjoy playing, but they need some time alone after a while. These are like introverts, they get energy from spending time by themselves.
Then there are the kids who love both, sometimes they want to be in the middle of the action, and sometimes they want to sit quietly. These are like ambiverts, they can enjoy being around people and being alone.
So next time you're playing with your toys or at school, think about whether you’re more like a toy that loves being touched all over, or one that likes to be held gently, or maybe a little bit of both!
