How to balance inwards and outwards focus

I was 50 percent introvert, 50 percent extrovert in the test, so I know how you feel. I prefer an inward life, deep thinking, reflecting, dreaming, creating I think most infps do. I think creatives need that big time. But I love talking to people and going interesting places like museums, art galleries, cafes, the sea, etc but tbh I’d prefer some sort of more inward life. I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately too, how to balance the two, when I go inward and reflect, write and dream, that all shuts down when I go out. I’ve been wondering about this, must be why you came up for me as a post. I havent got the answer, I feel today like I’d like to live on a remote little island and just live inwardly like a monk, but go on walks to the sea etc every day, like you said bringing colour and restorative nature to your world. just keep a healthy balance.
