Comments on: What is an introvert? http://introvertzone.com/what-is-an-introvert Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:14:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Rachel@ Psychotherapist Oxford http://introvertzone.com/what-is-an-introvert/comment-page-1#comment-6529 Rachel@ Psychotherapist Oxford Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:54:13 +0000 http://introvertzone.com/?p=20#comment-6529 @Robert Obviously there are varying degrees of an introvert and yes ALL people do like to spend time alone but by the sound of her article I don't think she is trying make out that she is special. No. What she is describing is real and the fact of putting a label on it has given her some sort comfort so whether she is an introvert in the sense of what you are thinking is irrelevant. @Robert Obviously there are varying degrees of an introvert and yes ALL people do like to spend time alone but by the sound of her article I don’t think she is trying make out that she is special.

I use to wonder what the h@ll was wrong with me through out my teens. I was like other teens. I didn't feel like an average person. I got and still get the labels of being "anti,"freak," and I even get I have psychological problems. In addition, I added to the misunderstanding misery by labeling myself also as a "loner" and oddball. My friends, peers, family, and even myself made me feel like a loser although out my teens. It took sometime to accept myself for the way I am. I am getting so much better with the self-love, self-acceptance, and understanding Christ made me this way for a reason. I love this article.

First of all, stop with the need to try to make yourself unique or special with labels. Second, if you're going to ignore the first, at least use words correctly. You are not even close to the true definition of introvert. For that matter, you're not even unique. Everyone enjoys times alone sometimes. Using your intellect, every person in the world would be an introvert. Wow….It’s truly amazing that people, in a sad attempt to put a label on themselves, use words incorrectly.

I know many people who would give their left hand to know themselves that well. It's hard to find the balance in one's life but it seems this has really set you free.

And these people are supposed to understand kids, so it would have been nice if they actually learned something about various personality types along the way but it looks like they didn't. One thing a nice introvert I know does is to set a certain day of the week he'll eat with everyone else. He uses Monday-Thursday lunches to "pay bills" or whatever he really is doing :) and tells the office he'll go out with everyone every Friday. Of course I know that will not be ENOUGH - nothing less than every day will satisfy these folks - but the hope is that you can be yourself and have the breaks you need while still having cordial relationships with the others.

I work as a teacher and I am always being hounded to sit with co-workers or mingle during my preps. I spend about 6 hours with kids and as much as I love them, I need my breaks for me. I have tried to explain but people are people and they judge pretty quick. I have even had other teachers tell me that I have so much to offer and I should share at lunch time. I want to ask them where they found the rule book saying I have to go and do these things, but I just smile and nod, and then seethe in private. Any ideas on how to satisfy them? I eat lunch once in a while but only stay 10 minutes if that. It just becomes too much sometimes and then I am made to feel like I did wrong. I am so glad I found this site.
