Can you relate to being both an introvert and an extrovert? or is it just me?

[@itsalexiusb]

I can definitely relate!

[@CoffyToffy]

I'm the same, Thanks for a great video Loved this 🙌

[@JasonPolkovitz]

It's not just you. I'm what's known as a social introvert. I THRIVE in being alone (or with just a few loved ones) but am totally able to hold my own in social scenarios - and even enjoy them to some extent. Remember that all things are on a spectrum, and no one needs to be pigeon-holed into a descriptor. The world is far more complex.

[@emman.3653]

I was more an introvert as a child. As a young grown up I wanted to be more extrovert and tried to behave like that. Now I am over 60 and I permit myself to be more introvert again and enjoy time alone. But I love to be with my family and close friends as well. Thank you for the video😊

[@lindahenderson1625]

We’re called “ambiverts”, and it makes a fun challenge. I want to socialize and I don’t. I take it a day at a time.

[@tdavies]

"You can't define a man who already knows who he is." - Excellent!

[@abuhamed3411]

*Man, this is just being real and true to yourself, and thanks for this. This video really hit me hard* 1. Caring about what other people think about me 2. Keeping people in my life that were only meant for a season 3. Being too much of an introvert at times 4. Being scared of change 5. Trying to change my personality

[@binbin9196]

“If you know who you are, then the opinions of others are the last thing you care about.” So true. It’s crazy that this resonates so closely to my reality.

[@AbsoluteMdot]

1. Being a people pleaser 2. Allowing people to disrespect me 3. Not cutting people off right away 4. Stressing myself out over work

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

My Dad said it's only a regret if one has not learned from an experience.

[@Tomipeace13]

My only regret was taking life soooo seriously and caring so much about people. Omg I wish I enjoyed it more before all my disabilities but I am enjoying it now because of it Everything you said is sooooo trueee

[@natashyas4149]

I like your dad. You can't define a man who already knows who he is. ❤️

[@sheilak4493]

You are wise beyond years! If more people realized what you have this world would be such a better place!

[@pattipostcard8489]

Well said! I think most introverts like other people; they just need more time to recuperate and recharge on their own after socializing, whereas extroverts recharge more by being with other people than by being alone. Some people confuse being shy with being introverted but the two don't necessarily go together.

[@margaretwhittaker7519]

Being both introverted and extroverted is called ambivert. I heard that phrase recently and it makes sense for many people.

[@alanvelasquez8069]

You are making a difference Ronald. Know that your vulnerability allows your words to be more impactful. Keep up the fantastic videos.

[@sodaresoda]

That dad quote... deep. One of your best videos IMO. Thanks for sharing.

[@binbin9196]

The older you get the more you can flip from extrovert to introvert and back again. Just remember that extroverts get their energy from interacting with others and introverts get their energy from reflection within or alone time. It all depends on how you refuel to engage and do the deep work throughout your day.

[@d1heat76]

I appreciate you and what you do for this generation keep being great

[@RonaldLBanks]

Thank you so much!!

[@46Bax]

I don't usually comment on any videos but I can actually say looking at your videos just hits different than any other videos on KZbin. You just have this clean vibe to you, you're neat, and looking at your vids makes me feel idk calm, like, I know it won't be just another trash video that's designed to just be braindead watching it to kill time. Like this minimalism concept that you do really has flowed into your personality, like you have a clean, relaxed vibe and it's got something meaningful to it instead of being all about materialistic and distracting yourself from what really matters. Idk if I explained it well but I look up to you

[@RonaldLBanks]

Thank you so much and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my content with you. I’m extremely happy that you find value in my words. My goal is to encourage you to regain control of your life, no fluff needed. Keep growing and learning on your journey my friend!!

[@hellerado6901]

I love the part on relationships. I have been trying to branch out in this area as some of my friendships have run their course.

[@amymaddy108]

Now just what i need! Love your openness to your audience. Appreciate your authenticity. I was afraid of change too but now that I've embraced it, never felt so much peace, tranquility, honesty, joy in my life now more than ever. Realized that yes it made me uncomfortable but moving forward completely remove any regrets and made so much sense in the end in that "this is where i wanna be" , I found my good place indeed! Your videos helped me a lot in that aspect!

[@lauralong6695]

Thanks for being so honest and opening yourself up. As an elder, I can honestly tell you that would have, should have, could have thinking is stinky thinking. Let go of regrets. Let go of the concept of having regrets.

[@mariaziarnik6909]

This was a powerful video. My true self was challenged in 2017 and all that you listed made me reflect and metamorphosis to my true self today. I am happier today.

[@kathyirvine6719]

I needed to hear this the seasonal friendships need to go because they have nothing in common with you anymore.

[@Debbiesdilemmas]

Being authentic, living your life for yourself and not caring what others think of you is so much easier and enjoyable. I never was overly worried about what people thought if me but with age I definitely don’t care. The only people’s opinions of me that I really care about is my close family and friends. There’s a great saying.....What others think of me is none of my business......I LOVE IT.💖

[@samplatt4388]

One word "Same" . I relate to every thing you've said . A great video . Much love

[@coffeejab3381]

I have been following your channel, when you had 1,000 subscribers. You are absolutely amazing with everything you have done. I am the same being, both an introvert and extrovert. You don't have to be one or the other. It simply depends on how you are feeling that day etc ☺

[@RonaldLBanks]

Thank you so much for your love Coffee Jab! I truly appreciate the support. Plus you’re absolutely right, it really does depend on how you’re feeling that day.

[@sarahwren1202]

One of my regrets is the amount of time I have wasted arguing with reality.

[@Zz-zp1ge]

This is brilliant! I love your videos, but this one really resonated the most. I wish I had been this wise at your age. In my fifties now, and still learning (trying to learn) these lessons. I'm going to share this with everyone I know, it's spot on!

[@zephxied.y2594]

Super relatable to point 2 ! I've always wondered why people don't stay. Thank you for sharing!

[@amyhoover9]

Videos like this remind me of why I am the way I am because I can resonate with a lot of what you've mentioned, and I definitely understand that feeling of becoming "too much" of an introvert. It's easy for me at least to get too caught up in my own thoughts, or only keeping one part of my brain open and engaged with others, but not fully listening to what they're saying. Thank you for your realness and transparency, Ronald 😊❤

[@Satsbyyy]

Your videos are ALWAYS on time and in ALIGNMENT with my current thoughts on life. Thank you for honesty and openness in every video.

[@EssencexMari]

Thank you for taking the time and energy to make this video. Lately I’ve been reflecting on my regrets and lessons I’ve learned from them as well. I can absolutely relate to being too much of an introvert (or self isolating too much), which I am now experiencing the repercussions of.

[@Fasthebaker]

This is so me , I can be an introvert and extrovert , and o cam relate to this so much , thank you for this

[@annefelice4791]

Wow, this video is something else. Kind of gave me goosebumps. Thank you very much for this video Ronald. (And I can relate to the introvert-extrovert thing.)

[@janelletraylor3354]

Ronald - weekly your videos are such food for thought and I always leave your videos feeling feed. This one hit home and made me think about how I dealt with " regrets" . As I have gotten older I don't see these things as regrets ; just lessons I chose to learn the HARD WAY. What matter is that you learned and move forward . It takes time but also keep in mind that with experience you cut through the noise and traps a lot faster . Thank you for all you do on this channel

[@Sarayuncafé]

Ronald, I generally love your content, but this video specially has resonated with me. I have also have a few of these regrets and then some. Great to know I am not the only one that love being with people but also alone as much ;-) thanks for sharing!

[@jaimetan]

I LOVE your way of viewing relationships through the lens of “reason/ season/ lifetime” - it definitely helps make it easier to let go of any relationship that no longer serves the highest good (for either side). ❤️

[@kobusingyerehemah]

It's our imperfection that makes us unique and we don't need validation from outside to feel our worth and how enough we are. Thank you so much for your honesty. Great love from Uganda

[@ninoflors93]

You can be outgoing and an introvert. We usually define introverts as shy people but it really means we feel more energized during our quiet time. Extroverted people feel energized around people. I'm outgoing and love interacting with people but it drains me so much.

[@sarahwren1202]

I’m exactly the same way!

[@Avo_on_Toast]

Thank you for this video🥺. Basically almost my life in a nutshell.

[@rojanjunior1821]

I really relate to some of the things you said. Thank you.

[@Delala]

Such a relatable video! So much insight in combination with creativity, you are a true artist ❤ absolutely love your work

[@filosominimalistapsicomini]

You are a centered and very simple person, humble, your character is very passive. 😉👍

[@willisantos3415]

Love the way you talk. Hugs from Brazil

[@mikebutkus]

I really thought you were reading my mind... great video and thanks for sharing 👍

[@hussain6469]

Your smile is pretty amazing dude

[@lennonmoore2847]

Thank you for this video Ronald I relate to so many of the areas you shared. Thank you for helping me be true to me.

[@RonaldLBanks]

Keep growing and learning on your journey Lennon!

[@bcusaaus4749]

Amen to this video 👍🏿

[@michele3631]

Love your message. I'm excited to keep watching your videos and learning more.

[@Froglet1968]

I love your openness and thank you to the people who've captured your words and typed them out...peace ♡♡♡

[@kathleenhill5838]

We so appreciate you sir!

[@soulrocker902]

Thank you. I love you, your honesty and message.

[@pattik8335]

[@RonaldLBanks]

[@Zoet50]

Excellent video

[@knowthyself8233]

🔥🔥

[@nancyparker2199]

Yes, I can relate. I am a people person who also is a loner.

[@siyabulelatshali1012]

I've watched and listened to this video more than 20 times. Ronald, your videos shine light to many of those that seek for purpose in their lives. Thank you so much for your content.

[@rondycolbert6787]

#2 is the biggest. Mannnnnn

[@RonaldLBanks]

I’m really glad this one resonated with you the most my friend! Far too often do we keep people in our life longer than we should. Keep growing and learning!!

[@betts258]

i like your Dad, smart man.

[@livemorewithless7817]

I am the same way as you. Both introvert and extrovert.

[@RonaldLBanks]

It's a weird thing to balance for sure! I'm glad you can relate!

[@dtrainfitness7]

Here is my sacrificial comment to the KZbin algorithm Gods 🤲🏾🙏🏾

[@derrickthomas1897]

My biggest regret in life not believe in myself. Thank you for the video stay blessed

[@RonaldLBanks]

Thank you for sharing this Derrick! I appreciate your openness and honesty

[@debbievermilyea4037]

......bet you were born in February! lol I am an extreme introvert and people who don't know me well think I am an extrovert. I am not afraid of approaching people or public speaking BUT I am a loner and IF I don't get my 'me' time, I'm a bear! Love you and you're way too young to have regrets. Thanks for another great video!

[@RonaldLBanks]

Close... I was actually born in January! I’m glad you enjoyed this video Debbie!

[@debbievermilyea4037]

@@RonaldLBanks The end of January. Aquarius! Not that I delve deeply into astrology but some signs do have a lot in common.

[@porcupine783]

Someone asked you this a lonnngg time ago!

[@porcupine783]

I think it’s okay to be too much of an introvert

[@Maha-zh3ww]

First :))

[@angelashelton4860]

Please realize that there should be a different word for regret. I think it's too strong a word for things that we believe or that occur during our periods of not knowing, as long as we become aware because of them. We should never regret things that have moved us forward in our journey of self-actualization.

[@derrickthomas1897]

My biggest regrets in life is not believeed

[@annaworld1611]

You are an ambivert
