I’m an ambivert. I’m also not particularly into watching a good percentage of sports, but I’ll pretty much go to anything if a friend asks if I want to join them going to an event or even just watch it with them somewhere.
Doesn’t really just apply to sports either, up for anything really: gigs, art exhibitions, hikes, cinema, visiting a random town for some reason, you name it.
Firstly, I can’t exactly knock something until I’ve given it a good go, but more importantly for me, it’s time I get to spend with one/some of my mates and might result in some good memories. Reminder that introversion is not the same thing as social anxiety, introverts generally also like to hang out with their friends.
Plus I also like photography, so random days out are a good way to get pictures you wouldn’t otherwise.
Oh yeah, I definitely know the difference between social anxiety and introversion. Social anxiety is when it’s intensely uncomfortable to even talk to my dad, or my partner. Introversion is being capable of having a nice day all on my own, but still being totally up for hanging out with friends, as long as I get time alone often enough in between.
Ironically I even like sporting events if me and my friends are actually there in the stadium. The feel of the crowd is magical. But that’s not really about the sport

And extroverts can be socially anxious. I need to go out and talk to people and do things, but fuck am I awkward about it
