For a long time, I have wondered why I write, think, and feel as I do–and why it seems discordant with the rest of the world. With some recent and long overdue insight into what introversion truly means, I have only just begun to understand.
From the few articles I have read, I can tell that your thought patterns are not unlike mine. Much of your writing even resembles mine–although you have developed your introverted mind and ideas much more than I have.
I suspect I will find further insight as I read more of your writings and I thank you in advance.
You have no idea how comforted I am as a fellow introvert who has suffered her lot in life to have found this site.
Thank you so much for writing it, I look forward to reading more of your entries.
I really enjoy and appreciate your work and I have shared it with a small online introvert support community. The feedback had been just as positive.
I doubt that I have it as hard as I believe, I mean I have friends and even a new girlfriend who seems to understand, but you have taken a huge weight off my shoulders. I feel like Im 11 years old again and figuring out that there is no god. My whole life I wanted to be Loud. Now Im comfortable being me
Thank you very much for your website. I always thought there’s something wrong with me but after reading your articles i realized that i’m perfectly normal and don’t have to change at all. I feel very relieved now.
You’re welcome. I wrote this blog because I grew up with a nameless stigma. Nothing in the orthodox social discourse even remotely touched on my personal circumstances and issues. Nothing about me was part of my society’s narrative. I was a nothing.
That gaping uncertainty that’s completely unexplained….that’s the very worst part.
I know much too well what that’s like and you will find me very happy if I’ve helped a kindred spirit.
All I can say is i’m amazed. When I first started reading I was only mildly intrigued but as I got more into it, I was shocked at how well your descriptions jived with how I feel on a daily basis. I have done some reading on introversion and though some of what I saw clicked with me, It was all so generalized I couldn’t really get into it. Almost everything you have said summed up what iv’e wanted badly to put into words for so long. I can’t thank you enough
