Ever been anxious in social situations?

This essay compresses nearly 50 years of dealing with moderate social anxiety and finding ways to respond to it that are based on mindfulness. I hope it's helpful to someone out there.

“Normal human beings are a balm to me and a torment at the same time.” ~ Ludwig Wittgenstein, in a November 1919 letter to Paul Englemann

Laurie Helgoe, Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life Is Your Hidden Strength

This book really helped me in my early years as an overwhelmed mom. I'm finding it applicable again as I learn to manage my life balance as a new therapist.

Time to repeat the lyrics from MisterWives

Love yourself my dear,
La la la love yourself my dear
Go on and, Love yourself my dear
La la la love yourself my dear
Do I make myself clear?
~Out of Tune Piano~

I'm what I've heard called an accessible introvert.
"The Socially Accessible introvert looks like an extrovert on the outside and sees extroversion as a bar that he or she can never quite reach. These individuals are often very successful in social arenas, but fault themselves for not having more fun."

'They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."

In gut drei Monaten soll im Job eine zweitägige Präsenzveranstaltung außerhalb Frankfurts stattfinden:
Rund 80 Teilnehmende, tagsüber Workshops, Abendprogramm.

Ich bin jetzt schon fix und fertig, weil mich das komplett an meine Grenzen bringen wird und ich nach Argumenten suche, nicht teilnehmen zu müssen. #Introversion

Ist das dieses #ADHS, weshalb ich in Vorstellungsrunden immer mindestens die Hälfte von dem vergesse, was ich eigentlich sagen will? 🤔 Oder liegt das an der #Introversion? Oder an der #Hochsensibilität?

Also heute war das eine Katastrophe…

Manchmal nervt‘s einfach, eine dreifache Arschkarte zu haben 😡

Starting to wonder if I've transformed into an INFP since 2023 began.
Not that it's a bad thing, of course.
I just wasn't expecting that to happen. :ablobthinkingeyes:

"Mon #hypothèse, que je déduis de la WTT, est que peut-être leur distribution de personnalité a pu être très flexible (de passer d’une totale #introversion à très haute #extraversion par exemple, selon des calculs inconscients si rapides que leurs comportements les ont eux-mêmes surpris) tout en conservant une signature personnelle forte, autodéterminée "

"...many introverts have a rich inner world. We spend a great deal of time taking in information, processing it, and forming our own opinions. This results in us having a lot of interesting thoughts and big ideas to share — when we are provided with a safe social environment."

@simonlbn @actuallyautistic yes. This! I expect to be making lots of new discoveries as I go. A lot of mine were aligned to “#introversion,” but some weren’t and now my eyes are opening to they all aligned with #Autism. The ignorance and denial of support is so damned #toxic.

But when I see how aggressively our society is trying to legislate against other groups, it’s hard to image us ever addressing #ableism.

These poll results also remain consistent with my "pet theory." Other mitigating factors do exist to possibly explain variances but I'll reserve that discussion for another time since it's getting late.
