Hoy empieza mi semana fantástica.

Mi hija y su madre se van una semana con los abuelos, pero yo me quedo, que tengo que trabajar.

SOLO EN CASA. Una semana.

Hace tantos años que no me pasa esto, y llevo tanto queriendo que pase, que no sé ni qué voy a hacer con el tiempo que tengo.
Por ahora disfrutar del silencio.

¿Qué haríais vosotres si os pasa esto? Alguna propuesta de ocio para introvertidos?

Thinking today about how expressing an opinion as ‘a quiet person’ feels like a seismic event - it seems to register in a disproportionate way with others, while those who speak out loud and often seem to be able to say whatever. And yet staying quiet seems unwelcome too. So confusing!

Here’s to anyone else out there finding it hard to trust their voice. The paradox of needing to make a conscious effort to express things more freely.

Jumping back into professor-mode full steam tomorrow with a 12 hour day and 40 new students. I’m feeling anxious. #IntrovertProblems

Seit Wochen struggle ich mit meiner Psyche, aus verschiedenen, schwerwiegenden Gründen. Seit drei Wochen bin ich jedes Wochenende unterwegs, weil ich gebraucht werde. Nächste Woche ist meine Mutter zu Besuch, weil sie in ihrer Trauer um ihre Katze nicht allein bleiben kann.
Danach brauche ich ein Sauerstoffzelt, vier Wochen Urlaub und eine Delphintherapie.

There's a guy in my office who simply won't shut up. He is my nemesis. He has no idea he is my nemesis. #IntrovertProblems

No fever but I have post-nasal drip, sore throat, body aches and chills, and a bit of dry (for now?) cough. I blame the big weekend out-of-town social gathering we attended out of hiya and utang-na-loob. Curse you, Pinoy sense of propriety! #introvertproblems

It's more or less certain that the event we have to attend and that we regret saying yes to will push through. The introvert in me is already exhausted just thinking about it. 😢 #introvertproblems

Are you the kind of introvert who would feel pressured to agree to attend an event and then later wish that bad weather would cancel said event? OR are you a normal person? Asking for a friend. 😅 #introvertproblems my

Stolen from @dancinyogi 😂☕😂 Don't talk to me until I've had two cups 😂 #Coffee #IntrovertProblems

So after spending 2 nights with family and now 1 on my own.

I realise that I much prefer drinking alone and listening to some chill music rather than trying to survive social situations 😅

When I am in a group I feel like my brain is in overdrive and I can't relax.

Who can relate?

I’m such an introvert that when people call me without texting to ask if me if I’m available I normally don’t answer because honestly…the nerve!! #introverted #introvert #introvertproblems

I was someone for whom the COVID isolation was a huge relief. (Also i haven't visited another gym since before). Social stuff is hard and suddenly there was a very good reason to lean into my tendency to stay away from things. It gets exhausting- coming out of my shell, being "on," faking confidence badly.

But I want to learn things and i miss one or two people i do know.

Okay. I'm doing it. The Dominyka Obelenyte seminar this weekend. Still nervous about not knowing many folks at this other gym but i really really want to get out there.

Another day, another co-worker being fooled into thinking I’m a fun-loving extrovert. They don’t realize I come home and hide in a cave to feel mildly human again. #IntrovertProblems

Growing up without many friends and being an #introvert as an adult has left me 1) wearing my heart on my sleeve, feeling everything, or as critics like to point out, “you’re too sensitive” and 2) never knowing how much or how little to share. Consequently, I seem to have two modes: retreat and avoid, or share everything at once. #IntrovertProblems

Someone I met online wants to set up a date with me this weekend. She lives across town (30 miles away, across the river and in another state). She’s a vegetarian, I’m not. Otherwise, she seems really nice. My #introvert brain is like, “no…why are you even considering this, stop it, stop it NOW!”#IntrovertProblems #Dating

Reflection on giving book interviews: if I could talk about this stuff easily I wouldn’t have spent years writing a book about it 😂

More about opinions: in the end I usually end up putting stickers or flags or wearing armbands or something similar, and be very determined about them.
It is my way to be extremely clear about where I stand without the brain-weird-rambling part.
