[@EM-cs7jw]

Hey Michelle, there are anti barking devices that go off automatically when your dog barks! It emits an ultrasonic sound that we can’t hear. I used it on my dog for a week during lockdown when he kept interrupting video meetings with barking at delivery people. Within a week he learned to stop barking completely. They don’t hurt, they just startle the dog. Good luck!

I couldn’t agree more!!!! I watch her videos on repeat ❤ always helps get me out of anxious moments!

Same here! ❤

[@christinav.5040]

I totally agree

[@celineviktoria6213]

A good tip on doby's anxiety from someone who has had dogs all their life. The best way to work on it is to get dressed as if your leaving, walk out the door and just stand outside the front door for five minutes, do this everyday and gradually increase the time you either stand outside the door or leave the apartment to run errands. That way he'll start to understand that when you leave out the front door, you'll always come came. He'll slowly start to feel less anxouis when you leave the apartment!

[@khalilahd.]

Wait this is so helpful thank you!! I have an anxious puppy too so I’m definitely going to try this 💕

[@mann7298]

yes, the answer is not to stay home with him, that is very unlikely to do any progress for the separation anxiety :) this is the way I've always been taught/read to train a puppy to get used to being left alone. it can be harder for people who work from home a lot so their dog doesn't really get used to being alone, but its good to train them to be okay with it so both the dog and the owner can live and enjoy their time freely

[@celineviktoria6213]

@@khalilahd. you‘re welcome!! :)))

[@geraldinex3_]

Just a suggestion: staying at home with Dobby is actually worse for his anxiety. His separation anxiety won’t get better if you continue to stay with him. You should get dressed and watch him see you get dressed. Then step outside the door for 5-10 mins and come back in, gradually increasing the time. He’ll eventually understand that you’ll always come back.

[@soupafleye]

i agree with this! really gotta work on it consistently and gradually. i also think it would help if he had toys or games that would keep him engaged and occupied. any person left at home alone would want something to do to pass the time. we gotta provide those things for our fur babies. also leaving music or the radio on helps

[@coolvegana1403]

Separation anxiety in a dog is superrrr hard to break, I have had my dog for a year now and have sent her to boarding and trained long days and I have to rehome her now since my apartment neighbors are complaining and she never improved. Luckily, she will be rehomed to my dad but still the severity of it is real and I would recommend a trainer asap as staying home is probably making it worse as you said.

[@Alicia-fy3je]

As a 42 year old black woman as a mother of 2 (12 and 15) you are living the life I wanted to live when I was your age... and now, I'm living slowly but surely. Your vibe reminds me of my youngest and she thinks you are the coolest! Sending love from NJ! Fellow La Croix aficionado as well!

[@TheworldiseffdUP]

I need to ask you a question if I may, as another woman, what does being black have to do anything with wanting to live this kind of life? There are many woman of all color that would love to live this life, I would have loved it also when I was her age but it wasn't in my card game of life, but all ended up ok....hope it's ok for you also....🙂

[@beinglatanyarenee7334]

I know this isn't true. But as a black woman who's been watching Michelle since before the pandemic. I rarely see other black people who watch Asian creators. It was refreshing to see your comment. Especially over 40 crew! 😂 And I ❤️ our black creators as well. But find some Asian creators very therapeutic in their vlogging style. ❤ 😊

[@lisapagliaroli8532]

I am an introvert without many friends, lol, but I am ok with that. I sometimes wish I had one of those deep friendships that many people have but I honestly think it would mentally drain me. I am married with children and grandchildren and that is all I need. I have always been like this, except in middle school and high school where I just wanted to fit in, and it has gotten worse as I get older. 😀

[@hanchi8710]

when i stay home, i get vitamin d deficiency and then my skin becomes sallow and lifeless and i look very ugly. #introvertproblems

[@missa1999]

I've also become extremely introverted since I started working from home a year ago and the only downside I see is feeling exhausted after a day/night out with other people. It really feels like it's not me and I am just trying to be someone else for others and I just want to go home and be happy with myself like I have built such strong confidence and comfort within myself. For now I will enjoy it and worry about it later lol

[@khalilahd.]

Oof. I felt this 😭 I’m the same way

[@26195]

I'm the same but im not really sure about "worry about it later" part as Michelle said in the video that maybe it's a dangerous thing still so..

[@nothingavailableleft]

Humans are not meant to be alone. Humans also aren’t meant to be doing things they don’t want to do all the time :) if you don’t want to meet people right now then recharging is the best thing you can do. It will allow you to be in a more peaceful mind space. So once you Do step outside and Do meet people those connections will be formed between two happy peaceful humans and the relationship will have a better chance flourishing. When you’re feeling uneasy people feel it. Hard to form relationships that way.

[@poppycalliope]

As an introvert as well, sometimes I think if I'm missing out on fun too...but then again the things that are considered fun for some people of my age don't seem fun to me. So I just do whatever makes me feel good and I don't pressure things. Great vlog Michelle, I think a lot of us can relate to you ❤

[@enjolim.4778]

So so true! I used to think I was missing out on fun until I realized what my actual definition of fun truly is! Lol fomo is a lie, we gotta define fun for ourselves and cultivate our social activities around that ❤

I’m American and moved to Scotland 4 years ago when I married my Scotsman. We’re in our 60s, so much older than you, and we’re both such homebodies. There is so much of Scotland that I still haven’t seen because we moved to another apartment in Glasgow and we just love getting it set up and staying home.

Michelle, you might or might not know this, but you inspire so so so many people with your kind, gentle soul and great taste for pretty much everything. There is no one like you, period.

[@Socialling]

It’s nice and fuzzy to have your partner as also your best friend. As long as they aren’t your ONLY friend and you still nurture those friendships you already have even if you don’t have it in you to go seek out new friendships to cultivate. Bc the reality is romantic relationships can be less stable than platonic ones no matter how great both persons are and how well intended they are- ofc friendships also end sometimes. My journey with relationships (generally) has been learning to let go of certain notions like having a bff for 10+/ wtv time frame I think is cool to be able to say. And rather focus on investing in quality existing relationships and going with the ebb and flow of which friendships are showing up more for me at a particular time, giving myself grace and giving others grace not even for them but for my own peace of mine. I’m definitely anxiously attached lol. Thank god for therapy!

[@nhertanto]

As long as they aren’t your ONLY friend and you still nurture those friendships you already have >> THIS!!

[@naturallynobay5850]

8:47 omg I relate to this so so much! I’m only 26 and I always feel like I *should* be going out and partying and going to bars or festivals like everyone else my age but those things aren’t really even fun to me. Learning to accept that in an introvert and I have a different idea of fun has been challenging! 😅 thanks for sharing!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@stabiledube9634]

As an INFJ l have a tendency to end up been codependent with the people l’m in a relationship with so in order to have some form of balance l try to maintain my friendships but its exhausting. l also resonate with what you said about “Allowing friendships to come naturally”because as introvert l often feel anxious about missing out & ending up alone so l over compensate & end up in one sided friendships. I’m with you in just allowing what is meant to be just BE.

[@SamFournier]

I also noticed as I got older I became more of an introvert. Yes, maybe it’s because I moved abroad but I became more connected with myself and didn’t want to waste my time with people that don’t bring me joy. Also your energy and vlogs being me so much joy🤗

[@riqeun]

This is me, and I enjoy my *alone time* and people think I won't *socialize* at all, but that isn't true. I take it *slowly and naturally* and enjoy my peaceful time. I love Michelle's videos because they're cozy, inspiring, and relatable.

Really like your vids 💖

I genuinely could watch your video and get the motivation to do housework or life admin.

Hi Michelle, I just found your little chit-chat about being an introvert and living life as it goes so relatable, and I never thought I would ever find someone I could relate to ever on this level (even tho I'm clearly not the only one feeling this way) but it's hard, especially when you're in your 20s and everyone tells you that this is the time to live a crazy lifestyle because we live in a world made for extroverts. I find it very comforting and I wanted to thank you for sharing it with us as it helped me realize that this is okay and if this is the way I am and if that's how I want to live; then why shouldn't I?

The time lapse cleaning was so soothing, lol. I am a total introvert who is extroverted with friends when I see them (not too frequently ;) and I live in the heart of Chicago and love it. For me, I also love to stay home most of the time but being in a bustling community makes me feel more connected. If I lived out in the burbs, I’d never talk to anyone probably 😂. Even those small impersonal interactions with people on the street, at stores, etc gives me enough personal interaction to not feel isolated and alone ❤. But it’s also very dependent on each person’s personality and what makes them happy.

Hey Michelle, I gotta say thank you for making the videos about your new apartment and how you settled in a new environment. I’m currently going through a life transitioning period, moving across the country from the West Coast to the East Coast.

Crate train Dobby. He is in a much bigger space now, that increases their anxiety. He needs a small closed environment where he can hide and a crate would be perfect for the time when you are away (or when he is just uncomfortable for any reasons). Look it up, it might help :)

[@alexandriabeatriceangeles8902]

I can totally relate to you. I’m older than my friends by a few years and all they do is to party and go out every weekend. All I want is just to rest and stay at home.

And being at home and having me time makes me feel happy and relaxed❤ I also agree that friendships that happens naturally are the best ones. 💕

[@haaeyi]

Hey Michelle! I wanted to say that I am in the same boat as you when it comes to friendships and being introverted in NYC. Being here makes me feel so bad about myself that I am not making friends and forming connections as easily as others. I feel forced to create connections and form relationships with people that I know deep down don't align with me. A part of me thinks that this comes from just wanting to be liked by others. I do think that this introverted ness in us spikes as we age and it definitely makes me think that I am not normal for being this way. I just appreciate you taking the time to share how you feel because it made me realize that I am not the only one feeling this way, and I want you to know that you are not alone!

Hi Michelle! My pup has separation anxiety too, I found if you are home all day, puting them in a separate room away from you like your bedroom while you are still in the house really helps, as they can still hear that you are there so it's more comforting and then they get used to the idea of being away from you!

In my opinion, the people you’ve encountered might be jealous of your achievements…maybe that’s why it’s hard for you to be real in terms of making true friends. Unless you make friends who have the same/similar life status or friends from a long time ago. Jealousy is part of human nature. Don’t struggle too much about being introvert or extrovert. You are way too shiny!! You are an unique and sensitive human being. Be the best version of yourself, Michelle!! I support you!!!

I watch these because I am a stay at home mom and wife living in a suburban neighborhood with a white picket fence (not literally) and all I want mentally is to be alone because it is so exhausting doing what I do and being who I am. These videos help me to calm down by living vicariously through you! Very grateful.
