Online friendships might suit introverts because we’d rather write out our thoughts than say them on the spot.

When I spend time alone to recharge my energy, it doesn’t mean I don’t value your company or that I’m rejecting you.

Introverts, I know it can feel like society wasn’t built for you, with all its chaos, crowds, and chatter. But the world needs you.

This year, I’m thinking about how to honor my needs as an introvert and take steps toward the life I want to live.

For introverts, ringing in the new year doesn’t have to involve attending a huge party — and that’s perfectly okay.

If you feel a pang of anxiety every time the holidays roll around, bracing yourself for another round of forced merriment, you’re not alone.

You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed or craving more solitude during the hectic holiday season.

As an introvert, it’s perfectly OK to feel however you do about the holidays and to choose which parties you want to attend — or skip.

Because introverts don’t just get ready for a holiday party — they gather strength for one.

To those who are less sensitive, these behaviors might seem strange, unusual, and difficult to understand.
