It does seem like being an extrovert is the desired trait in this busy, loud world. As an introvert I’ve never quite felt like I belonged. Always misunderstood. Always asked why I’m so quiet, as if there’s something wrong with me. I value your channel 💗💗💗 Thank you for making me feel not so alone.

This has haunted me all my life. It astonishes me that the world expects 8 hours a day 5 days a week minimum. When I worked fulltime it exhausted me. I've always needed naps, always needed 8 hours a night, always gotten tired easily. Emotions wear me out and I feel everything deeply. I never felt that I'd be adequate in a relationship, because how would I ever keep up or contribute enough? Though I feel good about myself in other ways, this has always been a source of shame. Thank you so much! I've never seen anyone else address it!

I am to the point that I am ready to work part time, and go at a slower pace. Working 5 days a week has always exhausted me. Working 8 hours a day exhausts me. I want so badly to find some kind of a job where I can work part time and live full time.

But there are bills to pay, so I have to work full-time, I have two kids to take care of, and of course I miss them and want to spend time with them too, but I also have the endless household chores and cooking, and I don't have the energy and focus to study something in earnest now. I am learning a little Italian on Doulingo, but your know, for that,I only need 15 minutes a day. To do an evening or weekend course, I would need to have time every Saturday for 8 hours, and Friday afternoons, and also to submit assignments. I hope when my kids will be a little older, I will have more time to study.

[@leannshort2211]

Wow you just described me. I never knew exactly how to word it. The feeling of inadequacy, not contributing enough. Working part time, I felt like I wasn’t enough. My husband never ever made me feel that way, that was just my way of thinking. I also get tired easily. Too many people wear me out. My husband and I are home bodies, and prefer it that way. I was also just diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease so I don’t know if the fatigue has something to do with that or not. Always been a very cozy/crafty person. Gives me great peace of mind and relaxes me. I hope we can all find our inner peace and go with the ebbs and flows. ❤️✌🏻

The only time to learn about ourselves and how we see the world is when we are alone. Extroverts hate alone time so they never really get that time to absorb life's lessons. They also see themselves as their peers see them, which is a trap.

I remember my third grade teacher telling my parents that I moved too slowly. Even typing this now brings me to tears - I never realized until this video how deeply that affected me. As a people pleaser and overachiever, I ended up doing everything I could to move as ‘fast’ as others - until ultimately all that stress of trying to live a life that wasn’t mine landed me with an autoimmune condition that slowed me down permanently. I don’t know if I’ll ever have kids, but if I do, I want them to know they are beautiful and meant to be exactly the way they are, and that’s okay. They don’t have to change to meet someone else’s expectations. Thanks for this cathartic moment

[@cds8249]

I just had to say thank you for sharing what you'd tell your possible future kids bc it's exactly what I needed to hear today. I woke up in pain due to a pinched nerve. It served as a wake up call for me to slow down and do the bare minimum, which some days is hard with my baby, but we made it through the day. Anyway, I think its fantastic what you said bc my own mother held an opposite view of things. She herself has a hyper personality compared to my introverted/low energy self and she made me feel terrible for taking naps, or reading so much (even though all my chores and homework was completed) bc I could've been doing something productive instead. I think everyone is different what some may think to be "not doing enough" may truly be another's best. Anyway just wanted to say thanks and I am sorry your teacher said that. She sounds like my Mom, but guess what? There's a need for people like us in this world, too. Continue to be gracious with yourself and as I say to myself, "Do what you can and leave the rest to God." Blessings to you!

[@instagamrr]

@@cds8249 Thank you for your sweet and thoughtful words! One thing I have learned is that slowing down is a way to connect with the divine. When you slow down and do things mindfully and with pleasure, it can make tasks that normally feel like chores you can’t wait to get done instead feel like bliss and happiness as you relish the beauty of the process. Perhaps view that pinched nerve as the Universe inviting you to take a much needed break for yourself, so you can keep your cup full. Better to pour for others out of a full cup than an empty one! We can have just as much impact, and sometimes even greater impact, by slowing down and taking time to connect with others and ourselves ❤

That's me too, a low energy person. Introverted and very grateful for moments of solitude, simple happiness and calm. I believe there are many advantages to being like this - for example, not being in a constant state of frustration, boredom and thrill-seeking, and also being able to age more gently and peacefully, as we're so used to a mellow lifestyle. For some reason I feel closer to mindfulness and to happiness than the high energy people. And I think that the extra dose of reflection makes us wiser, but that could be just my bias!

Sweetie, I'm 58 years old and I can honestly say your advice or epiphany is some of the most valuable in life. Constantly comparing yourself to others in any arena can be life exhausting. To see someone your age get that is wonderful. To be true to yourself means first knowing who you honestly are and respecting it. So glad you are feeling better and thank you for this video. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what we have already learned.

I have always been a slow mover, ever since I started working as a young adult back in the 1980s I needed extra time to get ready. If I rush I feel panicked and make mistakes. And now I'm even slower due to disability. A very slow, methodically planned life, no rushing about or overworking or any of that.

[@the_real_littlepinkhousefly]

That "low energy" thing is my daily life, as a person with chronic illnesses. And brain fog makes having hobbies difficult (although I still manage to crank out a novel from time to time ... ADHD hyperfocus helps, ha ha). It is VERY hard not to compare myself and my life with that of "normal", healthy people, especially with the "value" or "productivity" or "usefulness" thing. It's easy to feel "put on the shelf" and beat myself up for only being able to do a few things most days. I can't work (as in, paycheck type stuff) at all. I'm working on seeing myself as valuable even when I can't really contribute to the larger world. It's hard. I enjoy your channel because I get to live a bit vicariously through you. I'm so glad you're feeling better now!

[@carolynfettes1785]

So nice to read your comment and to hear of others struggles. Thank you.

[@aaloha2902]

@littlepinkhousefly @TheCottageFairy Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼🌺 I relate to this so much, with chronic health issues, ADHD etc. There are weeks that my body is so exhausted, it hardly digests food and I eat soup from puréed vegetables. Hard not to compare and even harder to fit in with my own generation (50 y.o) but as an Empath & single mom, my home is feel-good space for my daughter’s friends, many are on the spectrum, HSP or ADHD. Even the ADHD support is much better now for girls now. I personally was never diagnosed, but with what I learned about it with/for my daughter (20 y.o) it made a lot of sense in hindsight. It helps me to stay away from people who compare everything to healthy outgoing ppl and devalue me & my life, because it’s different. I choose to surround myself with kind gentle people, even if there’s just a few that really know me. It’s how you fill in your time/energy what matters and makes your life beautiful in your own experience. You are all beautiful and worthy❣️🫶🏼

[@georgina1921]

@littlepinkhousefly Thank you for sharing your story. I can really relate to it being chronically ill and exhausted for over 30 years myself. I’m sorry for your struggles and I hope you find peace in knowing you are as valuable as anyone else, just being you. Peace and blessings to you.

It was relieving to hear that there are other people out there with low energy. I've been struggling with energy considerably for months and working with my doctor to solve this seemingly mysterious drop in energy. I've been trying to take it slow, take care of my plants, and embroider lately. Although it doesn't feel good to have to take it slow and be low-energy, there is something magical about actually being *able* to take it slow in our world today.

I'm so glad you got a diagnosis, a treatment, and are recovering! Our bodies tell us things when we are ill, so it sounds like you got the message from your body that said "Whoa...slow down...and heal." For someone as young as you are, I am amazed at your maturity and insight. I am 76 and still learning what you already know! I love your videos -- I am a "slow" introverted person as well and when I watch your videos I'm so much more relaxed, calm, engaged, and full of love for not only your way of life but for all the little things you beautifully capture with that camera of yours. Flowers, insects, clouds, mountains, trees, plants, your dog, your cat, your bunny (I miss him, as I'm sure you do), your painting, your books, your mellow voice, the way you move through your house and the surrounding area outside, your love of your husband and family, and so much more. I'm so glad I found your channel -- it keeps me sane in this insane world we live in.

I find the hardest thing is finding people who don’t judge, and to maintain personal relationships.

I have been ill for a month because I got post-Covid bronchitis. The person who exposed us came over for dinner extremely run down and fatigued, but unwilling to listen to his body or respect us enough to stay home. The next day we got the text that he tested positive for Covid. It’s hard to let go of the anger my hubby and I are feeling over basically losing a month of our own lives to misery and isolation during the best part of summer in Wisconsin. Rough to watch the garden struggle and lapse into late summer wildness because I do not have the energy or breath to tend it as usual. The message in this video hit my heart also. We can accept less productivity and necessary rest. Hang in there and don’t push yourself. You are not alone! Blessings for a strong recovery!

Very beautifully explained. I and my husband are both pretty low energy. Our two kids seem to be as well. Now that our children are teenagers, they are noticing how much more other families seem to do on any given week, and how much more their friends seem to accomplish on any given day.

Having been ill myself this past week, just getting out of a 4 day hospital from an abscess, I was thrilled to walk into my quiet place, curl up into my recliner with my down comforter and a heating pad and just melt listening to the quiet. I pray that you recover soon and be back to your normal active life. God bless and keep you.

I’m almost 50 and have finally learned to stop living as a personality that is not my own, even if I was high functioning by society standards. It was not my standards of life as I resonate with. Such valuable wisdom you share. I’m the "odd" one out in my family,at least the way it’s perceived by others for all my life. In reality my unique is a gift as the way God made me to bring variety and depth to the world like all our uniqueness does. And those who didn’t recognize and honor it missed out the the chance to experience something positive. Blessings to you in your positive journey. And thank you for honoring us all for who we were born to be. May you feel better soon at your pace and in the way that nurtures you the best. Namaste 🙏 Amen 🕊

Hi Tom, sad indeed yet I found sadder for those that do it to others for the lack is in themselves. And many inadvertently do it out of love and protection. But still not positive even if intentions were good but poorly applied. Truth is the only answer if they are open to hear it. Otherwise, we each must make our choices and live our consequences of them. I pray for the best for everyone but I can’t control it or do it for them or have anyone do it for me. Such positive energy in this community. Namaste 🙏

It makes more sense to say “what is the least I can get out of my day to feel good about it instead if what is the most.” This is because we can be proud of just living in the present, living “in the least” instead of being trapped by some maximum output ideology that pushes us to forget that somehow, strangely enough, we’re alive.

@@rachelweyenberg9574 By working harder and longer, are you focused on giving her “things?” A lot of inexpensive, slightly used items can be found at thrift stores. Sometimes you need to but new and groceries can add up. But by taking time for yourself, you are teaching her values to follow and teaching her to respect your needs and to respect her own needs. Simple things like baking cookies together or even chores of cleaning can be made fun when the end product is a house that smells, looks fresh.

I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better! Perhaps your naturally slower rhythm is what helps you to be the artist you are. I think creating art requires a lot of time - time spent observing (the natural world), processing what is seen, planning, creating, etc.. I’ve started playing with watercolors and one of the first things I noticed was that I hadn’t been observing the world as closely as I thought I had, that looking closely at a flower or tree required me to stop and actually pay attention to all kinds of things I normally wouldn’t take note of. And the creating itself requires time and deliberation. It is a wonderful practice for me as I tend to rush my way through projects. Perhaps a naturally slower pace through life is a wonderful gift.

[@tiffanywatson7615]

I love this video so much!! I’ve felt guilty for needing time to myself. I am a mother of 3 boys and a director of a non-profit. My natural mode is slower than most. I had a large to-do list today.

You have brought my spirit so much peace!!

[@michellenelson11]

As someone who spent much of my life trying to have a personality I thought people expected of me, I LOVE your message here. I wasn't usually comfortable being the energetic, outgoing girl who made everyone laugh. Chronic illnesses have forced me to slow down and listen to my body in many ways, including accepting and appreciating the introvert aspect. Since doing so, people have become convinced something is now wrong with me because I'm not meeting what they feel was my "healthy" personality. I've learned to stand up for myself but it hasn't always been easy. It is so important for those of us who have learned this to speak out to help others. Thank you for doing that.

[@baileyjones7570]

I just moved out of my home, my parents' house, into a house across town with a couple of my peers. At home it was easy to take it slow and really take the time i need every day for my slow pace and routine, but here it's more difficult. It feels like everyone my age just has boundless amounts of energy, staying up late into the night and starting their mornings with to-do lists, eating all the time, laughing, joking, socializing, etc. I have always had trouble going my own way and having my own opinion around people who are more confident/extroverted than I am, so it has been stressful and I miss how my parents take two hours every morning to drink their coffee together before starting their day. This video (and all your videos!) help to remind me that I am just as valuable to my friends as they are to me, in both influence and companionship. I constantly wonder why my friends are my friends, why they like being with me---so I'm used to friendship being anxious in my life, while everyone else I know says it's supposed to be relaxing. Thank you for these weekly reminders that I am not lesser than anyone, I simply like peace and quiet and that's nothing to hide in order to impress someone. It is so nice to hear that from someone in my age group. Thank you, Cottage Fairygodsister!

[@Blueskies-y8j]

Deep respect to you! I admire introverts because they turn to not NEED people ALL the time. Some extroverts (like me) find it difficult to just be by themselves sometimes. I’ve always admired how calm, level headed and stable some introverts are. I think many introverts have discovered that’s they’re enough and don’t seek too much validation. I am definitely over generalizing but these are just some things I really admire about introverts I’ve come across

[@GloryDaze73]

Take this from an older (burn out person).... PLEASE take care of yourself! Remember to take quiet time for yourself... I wonder if the busy social living area is good? Only you will know...

[@baileyjones7570]

@@GloryDaze73 Thank you for that, it's always encouraging for people to tell me it's ok NOT to do everything with everyone all the time; that's actually what is good about living with my specific roommates because one of them is my sister, and the other one is my best friend---my sister I'm comfortable with, and my friend knows how to listen and adjust to respect my needs. I'm very glad it's them and not strangers; that takes a lot of the stress and insecurity off. Still, it is very different from living at home, and it's difficult to keep healthy routines.

Your friends probably like you because of your easy going personality. Sometimes what we obsess over thinking it’s not enough, is what makes us special. I can relate to feeling anxious in friendships. I’ve had many friends come and go over the years. The ones that are still here are drawn to my energy but they also understand me deeply. So, if I randomly disconnect and take days to respond to text messages, they don’t get offended. Where as people who never took the time to learn me would accuse me of not being a good friend. You’ll constantly attract people you need in life as lessons or blessings. Remain true to yourself always love! ♥️

When I was working all I could think about is retyring and doing what ever I wanted to, in my own little home at my own pace.

As someone living with severe ME/CFS, I am housebound and sometimes bedbound. This demands a very slow and mindful lifestyle of pacing myself as I go about each activity, letting energy trickle, rather than rush (which usually leaves me bedridden for days or weeks.)

I have recognized this about myself for many years and I too have compared myself to others energy levels and all they can accomplish faster than me. However I've also learned that I can only do what I can do and that's ok. On the other hand, I think its hard for those around us that work faster and get a lot done quickly, to understand that others do move slower.

This channel is honestly where I come to find inspiration, peace and just feel like I can relate to someone in the comment section. I actually started my KZbin channel recently and I am posting weekly. I hope to one day reach this level 🙏🏽

Almost seems like we are being punished sometimes for slowing down; for not rushing. Thanks you for your content. 💗💗💗

As a cancer survivor, I've come to learn that even illness must embraced. It's through the embracing that we enter into our growth for that season in time. It was during my recovery that I learned many valuable lessons that could nor would have otherwise been learned. Oftentimes, our difficulty is a period of transition that cannot be recognized until we've gone through it and stop to reflect. And it's in those seasons that we must embrace the moment, live in the moment, be fully present in order to get the most out of that experience. Resistance will only produce a setback. Then what must be done is to allow the setback to become our comeback.
