#introverts — Public Fediverse posts

Talking to a very extroverted good friend and describing to her the nervous feeling of joining a new group of people you don't know, at a place you've never been, doing an activity you've never done.

And she gave me the extrovert mindset - that she assumes she's the most interesting person in the room BECAUSE no one knows her.

Damn that's magic. lol

FLUENT IN SILENCE

Silence has many forms.
Sometimes it protects.
Sometimes it connects.
Sometimes it carries what we are not ready to say.
And sometimes -it becomes the very thing that harms us.
This collection explores silence not as absence but as language.
A language learned, inherited, shared and,at times reclaimed.
These poems are not just about what is unsaid, but about what silence holds-love,fear, memory, power and choice.

Love is two married introverts hanging out together on my side of our maker spaces (the less workshop looking side ;)) experimenting with MOPA laser engraving Mexican river rocks. ;) It's actually pretty cool. Hubby is now experimenting with a Hindu painting of Krishna milking cows, on a larger river rock and it looks pretty awesome so far. #MarriedLife #Introverts #MOPALaser

We asked people what they enjoy that other people don’t understand. One answer ruled them all.

Can anybody recommend any Quiet Introspective Americans? A #QIA if you will. I think these folks are way more of a silent majority than Nixon's but I could be wrong. I'm not necessarily thinking of "influencers" but I would love to see #Arts #Community #Communication #Education #Introverts (ps. Being actually American is not a prerequisite, I'm just trying to find some quiet people with cool ideas)

I found this article about the 4 types of #introverts interesting. I identify as a thinking introvert. How about you? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/there-are-4-types-of-introverts-which-one-are-you-goog_l_6984d1d3e4b03d9739276c3f

Moin,
#ReHa - Back at Home
im Heimatdorf in #SchleswigHolstein
Endlich Stille und keine Menschen, nur little black dog und Herr Pony.
Die Bäume erinnern mich irgendwie an die Situation im Speisesaal in der Klinik an dem Vierertisch, dem ich zugewiesen war...
das war so unglaublich stressig für mich.
3 Wochen gezwungene Konversation mit fremden Menschen, die so völlig konträr zu meinen Werten und Ansichten waren.
Echt anstrengend, wenn da dauernd jemand sabbelt.

I swear Corporate team building exercises are cooked up by the extroverts in these environments, because they enjoy that shit and can't comprehend that its pure fucking torture for the introverts.

My people battery was fried from a morning fixing network and access issues before going to this shit

Funny (not), but apparently stock image libraries think that #introverts are broken people.

I was making some pins for my #blog posts and wanted to use a stock image for the background. I typed "introvert" in the search bar, expecting to see solo travelers, hikers, lone readers under a tree, crafters - I'm an introvert and that's what I usually do, enjoying my peace 🤷

Instead, 99% of the images had sadness, misery, people behind bars 😑 crying, struggling.

Yeah, I have so many questions.

Meatspace is weird.
Drove out to a ranch house in the suburbs, yesterday, for a friend's one-year old's birthday.

Turns out pretty much all of the 20-ish adults, plus a couple semi-feral children, were complete introverts and struggled to make eye-contact with anyone.
Along with the birthday-guest's parents, there were at least two polycule/throuples mixed in with some "traditional" relatives flown in from out of state.

I had a great time bonding with the birthday girl and the 82 year old mother of the host. But, man, I've never been around such a group of people actively avoiding conversation. 🤣

As a general recluse, I felt like an exhibitionist there! Good times.

May you celebrate it, anyway you choose.
For many misunderstood #introverts - #solitude & quiet 1-on-1 quality time with people we love/trust are the best gifts in the world.
I value those personal gifts more than material gifts. I'm not necessarily antisocial - more selectively social because most folks just exhaust me.

I repeat my shower thought: politics sadly skews towards policies suiting #extroverts over #introverts because the former are, almost by definition, better at marketing and conniving and campaigning, and of course see things from their point of view.

One of the main reasons I sat down to write a newsletter today was to share the invitation for my upcoming community event in Seattle with my friend LB at SCBiz... and then I hit send without remembering to add the invitation.

Time for more coffee. 🤣
