I do think there's many misconceptions about introverts. It seems to be an extrovert's world, I feel, and a lot of people don't understand it. They think we must be lonely or anti-social. Quite the opposite! I love my friends and enjoy hanging out with them, but at the end, I like to escape into my own company and re-charge. I think the biggest benefit of being an introvert is enjoying your own company and feeling 'whole'. You don't need company to fulfill you. 😊

[@missp5050]

Well said😊💙💙💙

[@elizabethhansen3906]

Hear hear! ❤️

[@EllieMcHale1]

Agreed!! We are good at keeping ourselves company, and I feel that helps us be more compassionate friends.

[@creativecolours2022]

Real introverts don't like to expose themselves. Their personal world is never shown in public because it is only for themselves. And that has nothing to do with their friends or how social they might be. This is a different thing. They might socialize and have good friends but friends are not allowed to get into a real introvert's personal space/world. Being this type of introvert myself I don't think that Ruby is an introvert. She thinks that she is but she is not and that is shown by the way that she lives her life. I mean in public. We know what she thinks, what she likes to read, to eat, to drink, to wear, how her bedroom looks like, what are her plans for the future, what are her thoughts for her studies etc. She is constantly exposing everything about her life something that shows that an introvert would never dare to do. Anyway... the positive of all that exposure is that she was able to monetize her postgraduate studies in Oxford. Which is something that she really wanted to do and so it is good for her that she found this way ( youtube videos) to make it happen with her own means without being dependent on student loans of her parents generosity.

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

People are so quick to put labels on themselves. Hence, the many online quizzes, astrology, etc. I think we all want to label ourselves to understand ourselves and how we fit in with the world. When it comes to introvert and extrovert, these terms have been around a long time but recently it seems younger people are using them more than ever. One bit of advice I will give as an older person is that you can change throughout your life. If you were an outgoing child, you might become more reserved in older age and vice versa. As long as we listen to our feelings and do what feels right, look after yourselves and always recharge your batteries, whatever that looks like to you.

[@rizzobeloved]

While I understand what you mean, labels can also be really nice for people when they’re discovering who they are. I’m autistic and grew up in a really bad family, so when I became a teenager, labels helped me identify what I was experiencing or observing. It’s not like a “set-in-stone” type of label, more so like a general broad label, the way all fish are fish, despite there being thousands of different fish. Like I call myself an introvert because of how I like to spend my time, which is alone, but I also become really talkative around people. It’s just to mark my experience, it helps a lot of folks to have labels

[@kimss7299]

Exactly 🙌🏻

[@Kirsten_is_cursed10]

@@rizzobelovedthat’s totally valid, and a good point. I also happen to be on the spectrum, and I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 28. The label helped me put into words the things I’d been experiencing and conceptualize it without feeling like it was some abstract issue.

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Introversion - Extroversion is actually an spectrum and is just simply a way to measure how we manage our energy regarding social interactions. Introverts are not necessarily shy people, and as crazy as it sounds there are shy extroverts. Some people need to be around a lot of people even if they don't engage actively in a conversation, while others participate actively in it but in a small setting.

[@pamerselius9438]

The label introvert gives me freedom and understanding to meet my personal needs.

[@cheninblanc]

It's so brave of you to make this video! Especially when you spoke about your panic attack. I think you're doing a fantastic job helping reduce the stigma around panic attacks, especially by telling people about having a panic attack in a different situation than we might be used to, like a panic attack before an exam or something traumatic happening to us. I don't know if I would have the courage to be so vulnerable while doing so.

[@thenoobalmighty8790]

What a noob having a panic attack 🤣

[@Glitter101]

Yes you would cope yourself with a panic attack you deal with it in the moment and it passes acceptance and breathing exercise is the key to coping telling yourself if you tell yourself you can’t do it exacerbates the moment and makes it into an illness.

[@thenoobalmighty8790]

@@Glitter101 yes it is all in your head. Its in your HEAD YOU COMPLETE NOOB. Just keep telling yourself this

[@curtwild86]

It's very good that you're talking about panic attacks but they don't come out of being an introvert. You might have a social anxiety.

[@user-of5mj5nl6r]

No, you be overstimulated just by the presence of many People, thats different to social anxiety :) Please dont throw out any assumptions, most of the time thats not helpful

[@vlacheda]

@M. panic attacks are symptoms of some kind of anxiety disorder. Overstimulation by people does not equal panic attacks. Ruby might have serious problems with mental health if she has panic attacks or she's just being overdramatic

[@shahrukhali3882]

I am an introvert just like you Ruby but you have now shown me that it's okay to be so. its ok to be by your self, in solitude, sitting by the fire watching a video of another introvert talk about her life. And learn a thing or two. So thanks!!!

[@amBer0k]

Feel this so much - as an adult living with my partner (a fellow introvert), we are finally able to set boundaries with families and friends so that we can enjoy the holidays with them AND have down time to recharge ❤

[@maneskinnnnn7190]

how do you find living with a partner as an introvert? I am moving in with my bf soon and am nervous as I need a lot of time alone

[@emmalouise8001]

Ruby you and I are different in many ways. I live up north, I’m not academic and I’m a little rough around the edges however I find myself gravitating to your videos. I find them relaxing and grounding. I loved English in school but I never pursued it further but I love hearing your passion for literature and writing. Your videos are little works of art. Anyway I just wanted to say that you’re one of a kind. Keep shining bright, you are a breath of fresh air.

[@markwilliamson9140]

I'm introvert. I don't think certain people understand it. Love your videos Ruby. It provokes my inner thoughts. Hope next year is good to you and you find success in all you do. Be that writer that the world is longing for 🖋️🤓

[@holly1205]

Ruby when it comes to your panic attack I'm so sorry that happened and hope you're feeling better now and obviously I don't know the Ins and outs of your life but having panic attacks over seeing friends isn't really a introvert thing, it's an anxiety or mental health think so pls maybe see a dr or therapist who can help. You shouldnt have to sacrifice seeing friends due to panic attacks

[@lellymills]

Did Ruby say she didn't see the friends because of her panic attack? How will human beings ever live in peace if they keep being so judgemental about how others choose to live their lives and become pseudo psychologists/psychiatrists when someone chooses to be or do something "different"? (The exception is if someone is causing actual harm to someone or something else.) Ruby is an adult with capacity and autonomy. How she chooses to live is her affair. One of the many problems with the Western world is that not only do people not understand introverts, they aren't valued as they are in the east. It's the pressure to try and be something or someone you're not (either from self or others), that causes panic attacks causing a person to become overwhelmed and (temporarily), be unable to cope - which is what a panic attack is. It is not an illness in and of itself. People are who they are. Some people choose to live in total isolation for years and remain physically AND mentally healthy. There is a place for everyone on this planet.

[@holly1205]

@@lellymills girl take a few deep breaths and calm down all I said was having a panic attacks is a sign of mental illness I couldn’t care less if ruby decided to never leave her front door again that’s her choice?? But having a panic attacks isn’t part of normal human existence nor should it be made to seem so. You’ve completely misunderstood what I was saying, panic attacks have nothing to do with how she’s chosen to live her life but she did say she had one so I was just giving her advice on how to deal with I never said she had to change her life lmao

[@isabellaw.6330]

she has had therapy sessions in the past so she probably knows what's up

[@vkohlt]

I love your videos! It’s crazy how people really don’t understand introverts. I had someone call me antisocial recently and it really bothered me. I’m not antisocial, it just takes me a lot longer to open up and I listen more than I talk. But I try my best to connect with my friends and people around me. Being critized or ignored when I’m constantly putting an effort is very hurtful. Your videos make me not feel so alone, thank you!

[@booklover2.0G]

I really loved that you made a video on this. I call myself an ambivert, I can be super social but I enjoy my solitude more. The older I get the more I enjoy my own company and especially the peace. People can be so chaotic that it gives off anxiety.

[@livelikeliz]

Thank you for sharing this very personal insight into your life during the festive season with us, Ruby! I feel so sorry to hear about your panic attack. I can relate to many of the things you shared, especially just needing time for ourselves and away from others. It has nothing to do with us introverts not loving our friends and family or with us not enjoying their company. It's nothing to feel ashamed for, that's just the way we are and that is perfectly okay. Thank you for raising awareness that there are many people out there who prefer a calmer and quieter life and who sometimes just need some time for themselves. Sending much love 💕

I'm an introvert, and although I love Christmas time, because I love to be with my close family, it's also a stressful time for me, because I have to interact with too many people, there are too many social events, such as the company dinner...it's difficult de explain but , for me, being socially active for a long time it's exhausting, and all I want is Christmas to be over and get back to the normal routine 🥲

Over the years you have taught us to live in the present and to be mindful of others and ourselves. To be thankful and grateful for what we have in our lives. Most of all to appreciate the little and simple things in life such as a nice cup of tea, a pleasant nature walk or to read a good book. All very good life lessons of how live a great life, to be a good person and to look after one’s physical and mental well-being, that is why I believe Ruby is a good role model for our next generation.

[@larrymilliken288]

The unassuming way you come draws the viewer irresistibly to join you walking, writing, talking, creating, and be in your company; it’s like having a friend you’ve never met, yet, look forward to the next time they share their life via KZbin, and hope any comments left will delight, encourage, and lift you up. This line in Christmas Creases reminds me of all my fragile, precious memories that require gentle handling lest they be spoiled. Than ours - folded, refolded, so many times that it will tear easily when it does. Tear nimble as the snow you forgot not to touch. Your writing style in The Arrival of Christmastime instantly reminded me of Emily Dickinson’s poetic technique. Thank you so much, Ruby, and God bless you this Christmas season.

[@annikojonen5803]

Thank you so much, Ruby, for your videos and words! I wish you have wonderful Christmastime with family and friends and of course books (which in their own way are friends too). Also I went to read your Christmas poems. I read them once, twice and couple more times still as not native english speaker I need more time to understand. And tbh the first one, Christmas creases, touched me deeply. Thank you for that Christmas gift you left to all your viewers! Happy holidays!

Afew people wanted to meet up with me this week, but I just didn’t want to, not because I don’t care about them. Or want to see them or spend time with them, but because I just needed some time to myself, as I had a busy time before this I needed a bit more time to recuperate than I thought. It is what it is and sometimes we just need time for ourselves. If people don’t understand it, then that’s on them not on us.

Getting an anxiety or panic attack from seeing other people, friends or family is NOT introversion. This is social anxiety or agoraphobia. Please, don't call it introversion, that really puts it into a negative perspective. I am as introverted as one can be but I don't feel anxious or panicky when around other people. I just feel exhausted afterwards and need some time alone.
