Thank you for touching on this topic. I once made the mistake of trying to “include” an introvert in a casual group conversation. She stated exactly what you said. She didn’t feel like she had anything to contribute to that part of the conversation. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Some people are just content listening.

Being alone doesn't really bother me but I do have a very strong desire for family, friendship and intimate relationships. It's a desire almost as much as eating. I see people all over the world of all different ages, cultures, social status that have friends, family and connect with others. I get so depressed at times because just like a neutered dog I just don't get it. I just don't understand why it's impossible for me to get what people everywhere get so effortlessly. And I've put myself out there and tried but all my relationships end the same way with them abandoning me. I don't even try anymore. I've pretty much resigned myself to my fate

Feels amazing to hear someone describe you without even knowing you .. you don’t feel as alone. 💖

Thank you for explaining me so well! My dad and all of my ex-boyfriends are very extroverted and none of them understood me. We always had people at our house for cook outs, stay overs, etc. because my dad loves an entourage and it would drive me nuts as a child!!! I wish this video had been available when I was a teenager so that I could educate people in my life about my needs. It wasn't until my early thirties that I realized fully what I am and that there wasn't anything wrong with me. Thank you for another clear, informative, helpful video!!

I'm an INFJ, and I can be either an introvert or ambivert depending on who I am around. I am not anti-social, I am selectively social. I am definitely an HSP. That's why I can only tolerate other people's energy for so long, I can only handle their emotions in short stints. Subjects of interest will keep me engaged, small talk is the bane of my existence. I NEED my alone time for my sanity and recharging.

Quarantine didn't bother me too. I think I'm an introvert and avoidant because of traumatic experiences. What about my anxiety in telephone? I needed to take propanolol just to do phone calls for work. I don't know what therapy should I do to overcome this phone anxiety.

[@briannaw716]

This is me ...everything shes describing.. I dont trust easily i dont like being around alot of ppl, im just at peace being by myself

[@sabrinaevans5948]

Its because its to much feeling. I feel everybody's feelings. And then I feel like I have to make everyone happy. Dont make anyone upset. . Thats why it makes us so tried

[@valenciawalker6498]

Excellent presentation. I’m in introvert/anxiety . In grad school for psychology. Yes , highly empathetic .it is draining and exhausting. Yes , decompress helps. Yes, I hate small talk. but interesting conversation’s or in Depth I prefer . I prefer being alone most of the time . I prefer one on one .

Doc Snipes, your video sessions are such a good reminder of all the things I spent 2+years in therapy learning about myself and about how interact with others. Thank you very much for your time and keep up the wonderful lessons. Much love.

[@ginapfeiffer5395]
