Words for Introverts

Your sensitivity might make you feel overwhelmed at times. But it's also what allows you to truly connect with others and understand their perspectives. As you navigate the world, try to stay true to your values and ideals, even if it feels like an uphill battle at times. Your intention of making the world a better place matters. And it will be seen. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqnyKC2N796/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How could you know what you stand for if you didn’t listen to your silence first? Did the thing you heard leave you in awe? Was there more than met the eye? Were you speechless by how considerate it was? Was it too much or not enough? Your silence has the answers. Listen. Simply listen. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqlJsX8tM7D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“It’s okay to feel things as deeply as you do. It’s okay to be overjoyed one moment and filled with despair the next. It’s okay to feel the pain of the whole world on your shoulders and to find its redemption inside tiny, fleeting moments. It’s okay to break down. It’s okay to let in happiness. It’s okay to be terrified about what comes next and to find beauty in the most unexpected places. It’s okay to ride every tidal wave that introverted feeling overwhelms you with, as long as you don’t let it drown you.” Book: The Comprehensive INFP Survival Guide by Heidi Priebe https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqd1MGDtPCx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It bothers me when someone uses “introvert” to describe a “negative” mood or a feeling that’s not their usual one. But I know not everyone understands what it means to be an introvert, and they use it for the lack of a better word. So let’s make one thing clear: Shy = someone who craves to be around people, but is afraid of being judged/approaching them/ saying the wrong thing. Introvert = someone who doesn’t need much interaction and would rather do solitary activities. Introverts can be shy. So can extroverts. Shyness isn’t a label attached to anyone by default. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGyr_ANlvI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I grew up in the countryside where there wasn’t much to do, but the sky was always pretty. So I would spend my summer nights stargazing, enjoying deep talks and taking long walks. It’s always been easier to show my true self at night. And I still feel safe under the moonlight. Do you feel its magic too? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8nTnRN3hM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s a journey and a form of art. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5lJgZtmGB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It will be easy to appreciate your ability to work independently. You will be praised for reflecting over problems and being ready to face them before they even arise. You will be just the person someone needs to feel truly listened to. And most of your days you will do great because how much time you spend to prepare for what’s next. But many will name “quiet” the counterbalance of your greatness. As if you have all that success… despite being quiet. What they don’t see is that being quiet is exactly what makes you great. None of your results would be possible if you didn’t read the room, listen carefully, reflect, and explore options YOUR way. And all of those things must be done in silence. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpihU-EN8R6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I may be here, but in fact I’m far, far away. What a journey! 💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdP6gENSod/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rhyme unintended. Let’s enjoy a silent moment. I’ll go first. 👇 … https://www.instagram.com/p/CpS-YZ3NLW2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every account for introverts (mine included) has made posts on how much we dislike small talk. And how we'd rather have a deep conversation. And it's true. But is it really that simple? Imagine someone who's constantly judging your silence suddenly switch to deep talk cause they heard you like that. Maybe even inviting a friend or two to join the talk. My walls would never get higher. 🤣 There's a time and place for me to be vulnerable. There are certain people who I know would get why I chose every single word in my speech. I don't want to feel exposed. I want to feel seen. And the context is for me to decide. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpILszuNI0p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m a doer. Not a day goes by that I don’t learn something or explore a new idea (waving at my business ideas which didn’t get further than Wordpress drafts). Self-improvement is in my DNA, and I enjoy the process… …until I don’t. Once in a while, I find myself going back to simple things. It’s where I find so much beauty, meaning and H O M E. I had a coffee in the sun on the weekend. It was the best thing ever. https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-UTEBNxrA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a line from @joelansett ‘s song: Cluttered Soul There’s something about it… Every time I get to this line… Ah! Makes me feel so seen. Tell me a line or several lyrics from a song you like. 💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/Copyz_3NLSb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And this isn’t about books. https://www.instagram.com/p/ConA9VZtJck/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You are not defined by how others see you. Your challenges aren’t less impactful just because someone else doesn’t see their weight. You progress still matters even when it’s overlooked by others. You know how far you’ve come. And all the battles you’ve won along the way. That’s all that matters. That’s all that matters. Don’t waste your time explaining yourself to people unwilling to accept another way of being. Spend it in a way that is fulfilling to you. You matter. https://www.instagram.com/p/Coc-aK7NfrK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
