1. Emotional depth: I’m in constant thirst for some connection and sharing thoughts with emotional depth, not worrying about the other person retreating from it or me. 2. Listener: I listen to the other person talk 90% of the time or until they stop to ask why I’m so quiet. I’m like, well, I was just waiting for you to stop and ask what I thought. Did I do something wrong? LoL 3. Respect for personal space: I am willing to share my personal space with anyone whose energy dances well with mine. I’ll roll out the red carpet for them and lead them to my favourite armchair. Otherwise, I can interact with “incompatibles” at my front door but with the screen door closed between us. 4. Patience: This is like water to a bar of soap. I can’t make suds and lather without it. 5. Authenticity: Like a dog who can hear a dog whistle from a “mile” away, I can detect authenticity, too, even when it seems to be shrouded in emotion. I’ll stop here. Thanks!

How are you doing? I am a regular viewer from your channel. I am just here to tell you that you are creating very amazing content. Good luck to you.

People need to understand that introverts are special not weird, particular not complicated... You've just explained it in clear and concise words. Deep words ❤

Good job, I got here from your " threads " . keep it up

I enjoyed your very thought-provoking points, and can really relate to all of them. You've made me proud of being an "introvert," God bless you, and have a great day, always!! ❤

This is so Spot On! It’s like someone has an insight of who I am. I love it. Thank You

I’m an introvert, but also extraordinarily shy. I never considered that people might view me in the ways you mentioned, other than, I’ve been told at work that I am a calming influence on our team.

So true !

Is it true that the nature changes with situations ?? As i am feeling like m more of thinking introvert some times, some times more of of anxious . But in my alone time i am just thinking and thinking and overthinking.

Thanks, Vanessa, for all your thoughtful insights. I hope that a few extroverts see your posts!

This was great! Good job covering these common misconceptions about introverts.

Thank you. That made me cry ❤️

When dealing with huge community which usually more extrovert than introvert around them. I will feel like I am isolated when they start conversation and I not familiar enough with all of them.There's some perception come out from my short minded reflection which is they're not going to talk to me.I have to go.😅 Really awkward 😔 just like I want to be disappear in a blink of an eyes at that time.The true feelings about introvert.😢

The one thing they're looking for... Is another introvert

Oh my gosh, everything you said is exactly what I find attractive in a partner. I didn't realize what I was attracted to until I discovered that I'm an introvert. I'm really attracted to intelligence, someone who inspires me to get out of my comfort zone, shows me new things. And is a good listener.

My silence is not a reflection of my feelings for you 🥰😍🥰 deep

My partner's inability to understand my need for my alone time was ultimately the demise of the relationship. Yes, to all of these points you talk about!! We are complex people!

Yes, this sounds like me. I appreciate authenticity in people. Thank you Vanessa for your podcasts💗

I find these things attractive too. ❤

This was so apt… I resonated with each and every point you mentioned and I could see myself in all those situations in the past and how far I have come in my self- acceptance journey ❤

I can totally relate to this

Wise words indeed, thanks. Yes, opening up to those around us so they understand why we're like this and ensuring they do not to make assumptions and make us feel guilty, l know l felt guilty for not being with a sibling over the new year period, l just wanted time to recharge, process what's been happening in my life over the last few years before going into the new year.

❤

Love this. Good job. ❤

This is such an interesting topic to me. For the longest time, I would have described myself as an extrovert; for much of my life, I felt like I was the “live wire” at a gathering. As I approached 60, I came to realize that I was actually an introvert, using an extroverted exterior to “get through” events. I began to understand that the exhaustion I felt after a social or work event was because I constantly felt like I was “on stage,” having to live up to expectations. I’d say I’m predominantly a thinking introvert, but I have a little social and a large dose of anxious in there, too-very little restrained in there, though. Interesting to think about. Thanks for laying this out in such a well-organized fashion!

I am definitely a restrained introvert.

Thank-you, Vanessa, this helps a lot, and arrives at an important time for me. I'm currently facing a high-risk, necessary surgery. I just signed consent on Thursday. My medical history is long and complicated; this will be my 13th surgery. Anxiety has of course, now come to roost. Beyond my spouse and sister, I don't want anyone to know, because, and you hit the nail on the head here, I need time to process. Also, talking with others before the surgery, especially when I haven't yet fully come to terms with it, only serves to make me even more anxious. I know that whenever I see people who I've told, they will tend to have questions which are not welcome. So thank you, for giving me a really good reason for doing what I'm already instinctively doing. ❤❤❤

When I first read the title, I thought: Coping Mechanism. ✨ Thanks for your podcast!🙏🏻 Love the lush, green, rainy background! 💚💧 Have a wonderful day! ☺🕊🫶

Thank you for this, truly. It’s helping my heart heal ❤️‍🩹 from recent narc abuse at work. I left, but I didn’t listen to my gut instincts once again. This is a journey for me to self love and self care within the loving arms of our creator 🕊️
