There's no such thing as an
introverted extrovert. A person who describes himself/herself as an introverted extrovert does so to keep people who don't know he/she is really an
introvert from knowing that he/she is not the
extrovert some people think he/she is.
Lindsay had found
empowerment in convincing people around her she was an open
extrovert since she was young, though she had always been an introvert. She would describe herself to other people as an
introverted extrovert to keep from losing people who remained close to her that thought she was really an extrovert, since she couldn't handle being alone. She even pretended to be there for other people her entire life for the same reason, she couldn't handle being alone. It never really mattered to her how much damage was done to other people's lives, as long as she didn't end up alone herself, everything would be okay in her mind.
