How Can I Help?

 Is there such a thing as being introverted with an extrovert personality? This seems more of a personal question because everyone is different. I have never been seen as an introvert, but that’s because I have learned enough about myself that I have a balance of introvert and extrovert characteristics.   --"But Jenna, you are so good around people, have a large social network, thrive in crowds, and seek stimulation in your life, all qualities of being an extrovert.” --The correct term for myself is: Ambivert   I enjoy the presence of others, but I need time to be alone to recharge my social battery. I am outgoing in the right context while being subtle in other situations. I work well with others but also prefer working alone. I can process my thoughts and feelings internally or out loud. Being an ambivert is like running on a half battery. My personality confuses people. While I enjoy being alone, I am very outgoing and social. I can be loud or quiet. I like...

Maybe you just haven't been introduced to self-manifestations.  Self-manifestation: focusing your thoughts on a desired outcome to bring it to reality -- "Jenna, this doesn't make any sense." -- Stick with me.

In the past 5 years, social media has influenced "manifestations" on common sites like Tiktok and Pinterest. It's cool to think about how you want your life to be in the future! So, speak what you desire. Put it into the universe!  When I tell you I am a Pinterest wiz, it's no joke. Some people scroll through Facebook or watch TikTok, but I get on Pinterest.
