Ep 193 - Finding Confidence through Strengths as an Introvert with David Hall

[@NotDatOneBookworm]

Hey, extrovert here! My introverted friend never responds to scheduling outings- or just hanging out. How do I try to express how this hurts me? I mean, it feels like I’m the only one trying to support this relationship. Like- I don’t think we’d ever hang out if I didn’t talk about a movie or just spending the night. How do I tell them my feelings without making them feel like I’m mad at them. I just want them to know how their actions (or lack thereof) affect me negatively as to not damage our relationship in the future.

Hi. thanks for reaching out. This is tough to fully reply to not knowing much of the situation. If you are listening to podcast like this you are learning the differences between introverts and extroverts. Introverts need some time alone, but also need relationships. The best I could say is have a chat expressing your feelings and find out what your friend wants as well.

@@quietandstrong Thanks for replying! I want to talk to her about it, but she has alot of anxiety and I want to approach her without making her feel like I’m upset with her because I’m not. But I don’t want this to be a rift between us. How do I approach her?
