We often underestimate the power of a kind word. A simple "You're amazing!" can lift someone’s spirits, change the direction of their day, or even pull them out of a dark headspace. Appreciation costs nothing, but its value is immeasurable — for both the giver and the receiver. Photo by Eneida Hoti on Unsplash In a world that often feels fast, transactional, or divided, slowing down to recognize the good in others isn't just nice — it's necessary. When we genuinely appreciate someone, we’re telling them: You matter. You're seen. You’re enough. Whether it’s a friend, a coworker, a neighbor, or even a stranger online — acknowledging their worth can set off a ripple of kindness that spreads farther than we think.

You might have heard about extroverts and introverts, and maybe you’ve even used those terms to describe yourself. But deep down, you feel like you don’t quite fit into either category. Some days, you want to hibernate under a blanket all day, and the next, you’re out at a party, mingling with everyone. If this sounds like you, don’t worry—you’re not alone. You might be an ambivert, a mix of both personalities. Check out these traits to see if you can relate:
👉You feel incredibly awkward when all eyes are on you during a presentation. But later that evening, you’re the life of the party, cracking jokes with your friends. 😳😆
👉Sometimes, you confidently flag down a waiter from across the room. But when you’re feeling down, you wait quietly, hoping someone will come to check on you.👋
👉You’ll send yourself a text just to look busy at a party. But once you’re comfortable, you’re swapping numbers with that friend’s cousin you just met. 📱
👉You don’t have a ton of close friends, but you have plenty of acquaintances—people you can chat with if you need to. 👫
👉The thought of public speaking terrifies you, and you try to avoid it. But once you get going, you can charm even the toughest crowd. 🎤
👉You might show up to an important meeting in jeans and a T-shirt, but you’re constantly on the lookout for the latest fashion trends. 👖
👉You’d rather text than talk on the phone. But when you’re texting your significant other, those night-time data plans never seem long enough. 💬
So, the next time you’re puzzled by your own behavior, remember—you’re an ambivert. Embrace it and if your friends don't know this term share it with them.
