The Problem with Introversion
Posted by Rebecca Fri, 01 May 2009 15:40:00 GMT
Man oh man do I need some down time.
I’m getting sleep and several stressors have been removed from my life. However, at this point in time, I’m confined to constantly being around people. I have no retreat of my own.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love all the people I’m spending time with - they are awesome and I’m truly thankful that I get to spend time with them in their homes.
I just need a place to go where I can be alone and veg out. A place where there is silence and inactivity. A place where my brain can process everything that has taken place in my life in the last few weeks (and even months).
This is the problem with introversion. To some degree, there is a high level of personal maintenance involved in being introverted. In a busy city with a busy life, sometimes this maintenance is flat out hard to come by.
The result is that I’m constantly tired, I’m a little cranky, and I can’t concentrate very well.
Blah.
At least I know I will have time to myself in about a week and half. I’m really looking forward to it.
