“I believe we need introverts. We balance out society. We are the deep thinkers. The feelers. Oftentimes extremely empathic, people come to us to vent their feelings and get some comfort.
I think we should all get to know ourselves and our social wiring better. For example, when my brain gets too stimulated, I tend to feel very anxious inside and my first inclination is to bolt. No offense to what’s going on; it’s physiological.
But, who’s to say that introverts can’t re-train the brain to be alright with more stimulation?
And what about balance? Sure, I love to read a book while lounging on the beach, but I also love to see some live music with a bunch of people and maybe even dance a jig or two. I’ve learned it doesn’t have to be one or the other, but both/and.
I think that’s what we can all aim for, more balance.
If you’re an introvert, I think that’s wonderful. If you’re an extrovert, I think that’s wonderful too. Life is not better if you’re one or the other. Both are equally amazing! We’re all different and we all have different goals and purposes in this life, so keep an open mind for the greater good of humanity.
What are some of your positive or not-so-positive confessions as an introvert? What about as an extrovert? How do you find balance in your social life?”
