These labels do as much to hurt ourselves as they do to try and help.

The truth (for me at least) is that whether I'm comfortable and energized by others depends on my level of comfort with the people, my familiarity with the situation, my mood, the general vibe, etc.

"Being" one or the other feels like a limiting belief that we can hide behind if we're not aware of what it's doing to us.
