We all need to recharge our minds, emotions and energy. That is how we keep going in our daily life to meet the challenges and demands throughout each day. The energy of an introvert gets depleted easily by numerous things (topic for my next post).
The way introverts recharge, is to go off by themselves for a short while and have complete alone time. They might read, watch a movie, take a nap, write, listen to their favorite music, or just sit and meditate. But their “alone time” is very important and critical to their functioning. After they have recharged and built up more energy, they are quite good to go again.

It all started.....
....several months ago when I Googled the words: “not a people person”, because I needed some information about why I felt uncomfortable around people.
One article and link after another finally led me to a website that offered a personality test for me to take to determine my personality. I took the test of over 70 questions which required yes/no or a multiple choice and then it was analyzed for me and gave me the results. The test determined that I was 89% introvert and was an ISFJ type personality.
I then discovered other websites about introverts and even an internet forum by, and for, introverts. This knowledge began to make all the difference in the world to me as I finally understood myself and could accept my unusual differences amid the personalities of other people. I was not alone anymore in my thinking that I was separately different and even odd, compared to others. I found there are lots more of “us” out there. And strangely enough, we all compare to be about the same in our feelings and idiosyncrasies.
