The Rise of the Otrovert: Redefining Social Personality

Move over, introverts and extroverts — there’s a new personality type gaining attention: the otrovert. Coined by psychiatrist Dr. Rami Kaminski, the term comes from the Spanish word “otro” meaning “other.” It describes those who don’t fit neatly into either social category.

Otroverts are free thinkers who value independence and authenticity. They enjoy deep, one-on-one connections but feel little need to belong to groups or follow social trends. Unlike introverts or extroverts who draw energy from solitude or socializing, otroverts find balance within themselves — through thinking, creating, and observing.

They remind us that being different isn’t isolation — it’s individuality embraced.

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite fit into either introvert or extrovert labels?

Yes, I’ve often felt like I don’t fully align with being an introvert or extrovert. The idea of otroverts is refreshing, embracing individuality and balance without fitting into strict categories.

Same here, I’ve never really fit into either box. I think many of us are a mix, or maybe “otrovert” describes that middle ground perfectly.
