For introverts, conversations comes with an emotional cost. Learn what happens when your nervous system spends more than it can recharge, and how to build connections that don’t drain you.
What Rob shared here is an x-ray of my and many other's soul. Feeling guilt for not "always being there" for our many (or few) acquaintances is so ubiquitous in an introvert's pocketful of weird feelings. Usually it includes our closest family, leaving us (and them) believing that we don't love them enough or, at least, in a healthy way.
Loud people, obnoxious alpha dudes, chatter boxes, gossipy neighbours and shallow conversationalists seem to drain our social batteries dry. Is it just me? Are we f---ing crazy? Are we annoyingly soft? Is it our shadows saying hi?
Rob teaches us here to UNDERSTAND OURSELVES and our unique wiring. Lets balance things out, make an effort and, at the same time, have compassion for ourselves and our biology.
Thank you Rob for mapping out the territories of our brains and souls.
So amazingly accurate Rob! This article resonated deeply and I'm grateful 🙏
Thank you Davey, I'm glad you found it useful
