3. Introvert + Extrovert
Some say opposites attract, while others say stick to your own kind. I think an introvert and an extrovert can make a pretty good combination, as there will always be someone to hold up the conversation and push the introvert to try things, like brussel sprouts and $5 foot-long subs. A problem that’s likely to come up is that the introvert gets sucked into doing whatever the extrovert wants and starts feeling resentful. Through my own experience though, you come out of it feeling a lot more sure of yourself, and gradually, you get more comfortable telling someone to fuck themselves with a $5 foot long.
2. Introvert + Introvert
This seems like an ideal combination, but it also scares me a little. I think of those couples who start to dress and even look alike and only leave their apartments to buy more wheat germ. Many introverts prize comfort above all, so it’s a huge relief to find someone who isn’t freaked out by your secret, creepy habits and can spend hours with you in complete silence. Still, I think people get too comfortable, and after a while, that can get depressing. Honestly, I think this relationship works best with pets and their owners. If you’re an introvert, get an introverted Jack Russell terrier. You won’t regret it.
3. Introvert + Hybrid
Lots of people claim to be both extroverts and introverts, and while everyone has some of both qualities, it’s very rare to find someone who is equal parts both. But when a true hybrid does come along, I think introverts should drop everything and start their mating dances. Introverts do need someone to push them out of their comfort zones, but at the same time, if they get over stimulated, they’ll start malfunctioning and will probably retreat to the bathroom to play Scrabble on their phone during dinner. I don’t think that’s necessarily anti-social, after all. I just think we have a low tolerance for niceties.
