  • How do you talk about your personality? Are you an extrovert? Or are you an introvert?

  • May be you are an ambivert. So in this lesson today, we are gonna look at new words, new

  • vocabulary to talk about your personality.

  • Hello everyone, I am Niharika and welcome back. In today's lesson we are gonna look

  • at some new phrases and new words to talk about your personality. Now there are three

  • types of personalities. One is someone who is an extrovert, the other is someone who

  • is an introvert and the third one is ambivert. So now under these three categories, what

  • are the phrases that you can use, if you fall into any one of these categories. So let's

  • get started. The first one is an extrovert. So who are extroverts? What type of personality

  • describes an extrovert? Well an extrovert is a person who gets energy from being around

  • people. Someone who is extremely friendly, someone who loves to discuss their ideas and

  • someone who just loves spending time with others. Now if you fall into this category,

  • then how do you talk about yourself to others? The very first phrase that you can use is,

  • I am really outgoing. So often when you are having conversations with people and it's

  • your turn to talk about yourself, to describe what type of personality you are. Rather than

  • just saying that, I am an extrovert, try and use these phrases here. So here we have, I

  • am really outgoing. So someone who is very outgoing, it means that you are very socially

  • confident. So you don't get nervous when you end up meeting new people. Okay you are very

  • confident and you love making new friends and you love being around with new people.

  • Another phrase that you can use, if you fall into this category is, I am a gregarious person

  • or I am a gregarious guy or a girl. Now what does this really mean? Now if you call yourself

  • a gregarious person, it means that again you are very sociable and you love being around

  • people. You are not that kind of person who would just think about your ideas and just

  • keep it to yourself. But you will prefer to talk about it in open. You would love to discuss

  • it with others. So yes if you are socially confident, you are very sociable and friendly,

  • then this is one of the phrases that you can use.

  • Let's have a look at another phrase, which is, I am a social butterfly. Now here you

  • are not calling yourself the beautiful butterfly but it's just a phrase for yourself, to talk

  • about yourself. Now when you say that, I am a social butterfly, it means that yes you

  • are friendly and you love being with people. When you are a social butterfly, people want

  • to come and talk to you. You know you seem to be very approachable. so if you go to a

  • party or you are in an office conference or somewhere where you are gonna meet new people,

  • people will actually come to you and try to talk to you or have a conversation with you

  • because you are a social butterfly. You just seem to be so approachable and you just seem

  • to be so friendly. So yes if you are very friendly and if you like being with people

  • then say, I am a social butterfly, alright. Let's have a look at another phrase that

  • you can use which is a very simple one, that I am friendly. So when you are describing

  • yourself and if you fall into this category of being an extrovert, then you can just keep

  • it very simple by saying that I am very friendly. Okay so it means, that you can be friends

  • with anyone and everyone. It's not a close circle that you prefer to be with. But yes

  • you have really a wide circle of friends because you love making friends. Okay so well I feel

  • that yes even I am an extrovert. So if I have to describe myself in front of people, I can

  • use one of these phrases. But what if you are an introvert? Now if you are an introvert,

  • then we have some phrases that you can use to describe yourself or to describe your personality.

  • But let's first understand that who fall into this category? What are or what type of personality,

  • an introvert is? Introvert or introverts are the people who are not very confident about

  • themselves. Now remember they are not shy, okay. Many people think that if you are shy,

  • then you fall into this category. But that is just a misconception. The real meaning

  • of being an introvert is that you are not confident enough in front of people and you

  • tend to just share a small group of friends rather than being friendly with everyone

  • and you are very emotional person as well. So if you are emotional then yes you are an

  • introvert as well. Now some of the phrases that you can use if you fall into this category

  • are I am kind of reserved. Now when you say, that I am kind of reserved. It means that

  • you are a very private person. It means you don't want to discuss your life with anyone

  • and everyone. You do have a closed knit of friend circle and that's it. You just want

  • to share your life with them only. You don't want to discuss your thoughts with everybody.

  • It is just that you want to talk about yourself with your close friends. So this says that

  • you are a very reserved person or a very private person. Okay another phrase that you can use

  • is, I like to spend time with close friends. So when you say this, another person would

  • get an idea that you do not like making new friends. Okay you are not very friendly. You

  • are not a social butterfly, definitely. So you make a point to talk about yourself or

  • when you show or describe your personality to someone, you say that I like to spend time

  • with close friends only. Okay and another phrase that you can use is, I usually listen

  • more than I speak up. Now usually introverts are great listeners. Now because they don't

  • like speaking too much, they dont like talking about anything and everything, they tend to

  • listen to others. So if your friend is a great listener then there is a probability, that

  • he is an introvert. But if you are also a great listener, then yes you fall into this

  • category and when you are describing yourself, you can say that I usually listen more than

  • I speak up. Okay so this is how you would describe your personality and let's have a

  • look at the third category which is an ambivert.

  • Ambivert, well what does this really mean? Well a person who has a balance of an extrovert

  • and introvert features in their personality is an ambivert. That's quite interesting.

  • Now many people get confused. Am I an extrovert or am I an introvert? But hey guess what probably,

  • you are an ambivert. So you have the qualities of both, may be you love being with friends

  • but then there are times that you just want to spend time with yourself. So which means

  • that you also have the qualities of being an introvert. So how would you describe yourself

  • when you fall into this category? The first phrase that I have is, I alter my personality

  • based on the situation. So if someone asks you that, what type of personality are you?

  • Or what kind of person are you? And when you go out, how do you behave? So this is one

  • of the phrases that you can use, by saying that I alter my personality based on the situation.

  • So for example, if you end up meeting lot of friendly people, lot of extroverts, then

  • yes you would also show the qualities of being an extrovert. But then, if you meet a lot

  • of people who get very nervous or probably who do not like to talk much and who are very

  • calm and sober, then you would show the qualities of being an introvert.

  • Okay so depending on the situation, you will place yourself. Another phrase that you can

  • use is, when a topic of interest comes up, I'm more than happy to talk about it. Now

  • if you are around people and probably, you'll are having a discussion about something. And

  • if the topic really interests you, then yes again you will show the qualities of being

  • an extrovert. You will participate in that conversation. You would throw your ideas on

  • other people, which is great. but the moment, this topic is been stopped disc suing, okay

  • the moment the topic is being changed, and now the topic doesn't interest you, then you

  • will not talk much, but you would be a good listener. So remember introverts are great

  • listeners. So yes, here you also show the qualities of being an extrovert by participating

  • in the conversation about a topic that you like. But then again you also stop talking

  • and start listening to others rather than speaking up. Okay so this is one of the expressions

  • that you can use. And then the third expression that I have for you if you fall into this

  • category is spending too much time with other people can be exhausting. So yes, you like

  • spending time with others, you like being with people, you like being friendly. But

  • too much of it, can be really tiring and exhausting. So if you think that there are times when

  • you want to party hard and you wanna be with people but then there are times when you just

  • love your bed and you love yourself and you wanna spend time by yourself, then you are

  • an ambivert.

  • So these are the perfect expressions that you can use to describe your personality.

  • so go ahead, talk about yourself, talking about yourself makes you more confident, so

  • use these English expressions in your conversations and I'll be back with a new lesson soon, till

  • then you take care.

How do you talk about your personality? Are you an extrovert? Or are you an introvert?
