The World of an Introvert

I never realised I was an introvert, I just thought I was different, weird 😅, after all, I’m an introvert… 

Since childhood, enjoying my own time alone… leaving in my own little world… apparently, you already born that way, go figure, I’ve only learned about it, now!
 

Are you an Introvert? 

Introverts enjoy spending time alone, they also like to enjoy social time. But alone time feels peaceful and refreshing – recharging!


Sometimes social time can be draining, especially if, in contact with new people, large crowds, or noisy environments. Spending a long time, in this kind of setting, will kick you out.

They like to spend time with close friends, they can even seem like an extrovert, interaction with close ones are fulfilling and enjoyable, but once it becomes a larger group, you be sure to start feeling drained out, in no time, it’s their kryptonite! 😂

Introverts like to work alone, it’s alone that they can concentrate, be more creative, more productive and show the best results.


They can also work in a team but, they need to withdraw after meetings, discussions, or any other kind of interaction. To gather their thoughts and recharge.

They have a very rich mind, spending lots of time thinking, dreaming, imagining, pondering, creating their own little world, and feeling very comfortable on it.


They tend to zone out, in conversations, not because they are not interested, but in their own head, whatever they thinking or imagining, is much more interesting.

They prefer to lay low, away from the spotlight. 

But you do have introverts that are artists, performers, business leaders,  and they go on stage to perform, give speeches, make presentations, and are comfortable with it, a skill they have learned to master, even when it goes against their nature.


They struggle to find the right words, on the moment, don’t always known what to say. To then, be thinking long after, of what they should or could of said.

They find writing a more comfortable way to express their feelings, it’s on writing that, they can express clearer and more compressively what’s on their mind and heart. They can really struggle with spoken words.

They go deep into thinking, about relationships, loved ones, friends, work, life in general, being creative, reading, and pursuing their dreams.


They seek meaning in everything, relationships, goals, conversations – they don’t do shallow.
 

They feel out of place when pressured to be more social.

Do you identify? Maybe you are one too!

Introverts Rock!

Solitary Souls

Souls that live for themselves, to themselves, free from other’s – other’s thoughts, other’s perspectives, other’s expectations.

They see the world from a different perspective than most. They focus on their growth, they believe in themselves to, create a life they dreamed of without attachments.

They are free to experience the world in its fullest, without restrictions.

They are strong, committed, and willing to adventure, adventure to conquer their goals, their dreams.

They have a clear understanding of themselves, they dedicate much of their lives pursuing their purpose in life, finding life’s meaning.

They can be fearless, adventuring through life with open eyes, and open heart, open soul, ready for the challenges that life brings them.

Some dedicate their life to others; after dedicating so much time on their own, rediscovering themselves, experiencing the world and growing; they find meaning, purpose, by assisting others to discover themselves.

In the end, we all the same, is just some of us have more zest for self discovery.

It doesn’t mean that they don’t feel lonely sometimes, or that they isolate themselves from social encounters, they can be very social, but they understand the importance of oneself and their limitations.

They can come across selfish or egocentric, but I find that to be much further from the truth, they just value themselves, and use life experiences to grow, that growth doesn’t just help them, but others around them.

If you dedicate much of your time seeking your dreams, conquering your goals, dedicating time to yourself to experience life on your own, to experience the world as it is, to observe your thoughts and feelings, you not only have a better understanding of yourself, but also others.

Some of us are entangled with life commitments and other people’s expectations, thoughts, feelings, and end up not knowing if we leaving for yourselves or others, we end up forgetting our own identity.

If you can’t be your authentic self, you voiding the world from your true potential.

I know isn’t easy to find time for ourselves in this chaotic world sometimes, but, time is only relative, it will be what you want it to be.

If you want to have more time for yourself find it!

Be more mindful of your presence through the world, be aware of your thoughts, feelings, your body, your steps, the way you do things, the way you speak, feel your presence at this exact moment!

Mindfulness is a great way to dedicate ‘time’ to ourselves, we forget to breathe sometimes, so breathe, consciously feel your chest rise and fall, feel your feet on the ground… you can be mindful anytime and anywhere, with a little practice it becomes a habit, and what a better way to remind ourselves that we are alive, here and now!

What a better way to honor ourselves and others but, to just be present.

By present, I mean truly present, where you feel the world through your being, free from conceptions and attachments.

My deepest self

I struggle to express my deepest feelings and thoughts, so I’ve though of a way to express myself here.

I love writing, what a better way, but to put in writing, what goes in my heart.

I struggle with questions, when people ask of me what I can’t give, not because I don’t want to, but because I’m just unable too.

Thoughts aren’t mine, I’ve detached myself from them, I see them come and see them go, I do not engage or trust them, because they aren’t permanent (Buddha’s teachings), and it’s true!

Since then I feel freer and more peaceful.

When someone forces answers I don’t know what to say.

I’ll express myself when I’m ready, when I feel like it, not when I’m pushed to give answers.

It makes me nervous. I’m as much an introvert as an extrovert, I like to be quiet, in my own world, I think, but do not overthink, I let my thoughts come and go as they please.

I simply don’t think is wise to follow my thoughts, they are just thoughts, I rarther follow my intuition, whatever feels right at the moment, whatever resonates with my essence.

When someone keeps asking about what I think, it’s hard, because,

I don’t really like to think much, I do like to feel, and go with the feeling, and again, isn’t really a feeling, but more like a force that propels me, something higher then myself that “tells” me what to do and when to do it.

I do plan the future, I have expectations, I have thoughts, but I make my plans, when I’m ready, and then I just trust my intuition, that “voice” to follow through.

At the moment I’m experiencing something, I don’t think have experienced before – Heartbreak – would I thought would be this painful? No, I just feel my heart has been stolen, like it was when I lost my child.

I just feel lost, but not desperate, I let the feeling be, embrace it, its part of the process, I don’t overthink, I just let it be.

It’s pointless to keep thinking, to go over and over things.

Let it just be.

Once you surrender to the pain, to the overwhelming feeling, its energy is released.

Little by little, you become free, peaceful, that for me is enough, feelings are just feelings, they come and go, just like thoughts.

Don’t make much of it, because they are not yours to begin with (Zen teachings).

I’m grateful for meditation, and all the Buddhist teachings I’ve learned, as they allow me to experience thing in a different way, see things differently and process whatever its happening in a useful way, for personal growth.

I like to listen, allow someone talk what goes in their heart, or even just simple conversation, I enjoy that.

But ask me questions with no end, I don’t know what to do.

Ask me for advice, I’ll gadly give you.

But go over and over the same subject, makes my mind spin, its like I’m in their mind, and all I experience is a world of thoughts spinning around like mad, its chaos!

The world would be so much simpler and peaceful if, people would realise that their thoughts, aren’t actually theirs, and the more you give in to thinking, the more unsettle, confused and untanngled you become, is no freedom.

Meditation is my refuge, my yoga is my home, where I can just feel my presence, be more connected to what is, to the world as it is, root down, ground myself, and just be.

I feel is nothing for me to do, and still nothing is left undone. Be free to experience the world as it is.

Such a beautiful feeling – peace.

When your feet touch the earth, your hands the water, your skin the air, and your heart the warmth of the sun – its pure joy, its magical, you are one with it all.

I hope one day I find someone that understands me, that accepts me as I am, that true connection does not need words, in a sense, a connection that goes beyond words.

But if I don’t, I don’t, again I’m not overthinking, I just take life as it comes, be what it will be, I’m One with it, I trust my InnerSelf to guide me, to speak my truth, to be my TrueSelf, to honour my essence.

May there be peace and love in my heart as in yous 🙏🏻
