A new personality type is getting attention as we head into the new year, and it is called an Otrovert. According to Google, an Otrovert is someone who can socialize well but prefers to keep emotional distance. They may enjoy being around people, but they often feel like an outsider in group settings.
Otroverts usually prefer deep one on one conversations instead of large groups. They can talk, laugh, and connect, but they do not always feel the need to share everything about themselves. After social events, Otroverts often need time alone to recharge and reset.
This personality type sits somewhere between introverts and extroverts. Introverts enjoy quiet time and reflection, while extroverts gain energy from being around people and social situations. Otroverts are a mix. They can handle social settings, but they protect their energy carefully.
Many people are saying this label finally explains how they feel. You might enjoy going out, but still need space. You might like people, but also love solitude. If that sounds like you, you may be an Otrovert.
