Yep. The thing is, we often hear all the negative things – that we can’t or don’t like. But the solitude we really seek isn’t about hiding or avoiding; it’s about doing what makes us happy, gives our brain a state of near-bliss!

Well, I have come to the realization that I am who I am. I will always act slightly different than the others. I will think differently. But that is ok. I will always put myself with people I know I can trust to always be there for me and understand. There is nothing else you can do! We have to work on communicating our feelings so that people understand what we are thinking!

If only more people would learn the power of silence! Often we make them uncomfortable by sitting and just listening in an easy, relaxed manner.. some people expect lots of interruptions or otherwise we’re not “contributing.”

Yeah, I suppose it is a compliment! Sometimes though I think that acquaintances just don’t want people to leave. I’ve noticed that as people exit parties, the fun can start to die down or even die suddenly.

One surer way of ‘enabling to keep to yourself without having to be missed by others is to Learn to Be Silent’… Even while in a company if one can keep to oneself mentally
dispassionate – not apathetic mind you – then one can enjoy the company without feeling stressed out or pressed and presurized by others.

Self Binding and Freedom both are Me- Minding [ Not my/ mine mind you !] and
Me-managing.

That is nice – a compliment! But it’s really no fun to have to defend our decision to leave. Since you manage to do it, and your friends still want you to be there, it sounds like you’re doing great!

[...] For highest-functioning health it looks like I need to actively work with my sources (God, my husband, my friends) to make sure I’m maintaining that magical ballance that fills my lock without overloading my introvert wiring. [...]

I often find it difficult to leave parties, particularly smaller groups, when I’m ready because the extroverts of the group are sad I’m leaving and try to get me to stay. It’s nice to know I’m liked, but it can be hard to stand my ground and still leave then. I usually just repeat again and again that I’m just tired and need to go to bed (I guess this only works if it’s a late evening gathering). I’m getting better at spotting fellow introverts and can sometimes use them for support as they won’t try to convince me to stay.

Yes! I guess just go to it, make sure everyone sees you and say hi.. then leave when you want to!
