An Innie In The Day But An Outie In The Night Or The Other Way Around, That's Me

I don't believe a person will not change, in his character, interest, the like and dislike, all his life. I am an example. I had been an introvert in the beginning, living in my little box, my playmates were mostly my siblings at that time but before long, I had shifted from an innie to an outie, that took me some time, if not overnight, to adjust and adapt to my new kind of personality but I know I do possess two alternatives of personalities, one at a time.
Far back then, I heard that if a man was looking for a wife, he'd better choose someone who was introvert so that she could stay home and do the house chores. But if he chose a woman who was extrovert, he could be in trouble. His wife might be staying out a lot of time and who knows what she was up to due to her extroversion and openness with the outside world.
Being a multiple personality, or at least the above two, I can conclude that it is more enjoyable and balanced and even complete. I cannot stick to be an introvert the rest of my life while seeing the other pattern slipping away not catching its benefits and advantages. Socializing around is not unhealthy but rather, a nice thing to do. I can choose who I want to hang around with, share what topic of conversation etc, this is the extrovert side of me. On the contrary, it sounds dull and null to be "too" introversive as if burying every possible gateway to the connection of the world.
A famous politician once said, jokingly, " I am Jimmy, at night " because of his 3 Chinese name, it's not very polite to address him so he told us to call him " Jimmy" when all hectic politics meetings were over. I could never forget this one.

Have a happy day always!
I think I'm both as well, Hilda, I know exactly what you mean!
What does "3 Chinese" mean?Thanks for your comment, Jennifer.
Chinese usually have a surname, middle name and a last name such as : Lee Xiao Long (Bruce Lee) So if we call someone by his full name, it 'd be rather long and not sounded quite "close" or "friendly". That's why most of them have a first name like: John, Mary etc.
You can call me "Jimmy" was perfect as the politician aptly said it. Interesting.
Regards to you, Jenn.
