Noisy versus Quiet

Introverts tend to get wore out and start looking for the door in social settings, when they have enough of the noise and confusion of so much talking around them. For me, if I am visiting one-on-one with a person who is non-stop in their talking, I don’t last long before I want to end the conversation and go away to someplace where I can be all alone for awhile. I love my quiet alone time where I can rest my nerves and mind.

It is not good to get overwhelmed

As an introvert, when I feel overwhelmed with much to do, my mind and body wants to shut down. That is when I need to find a nice quiet alone place to rest and revamp. I generally watch a movie or read a book. It is a place that I don’t have to feel guilty about wanting to vegetate for awhile. Then I get up and I am good to go again. I try not to get to the point that I am that overwhelmed with things….but at least I know how to handle it, if I do.

It's rather nice, really.....

....to need and crave quiet alone time, once in awhile. I am sure that EVERYONE must get tired of lots of people around them all the time, and always involved in some type of busy activity.

As an introvert, my alone time is like an oasis in the desert; my chance at regrouping my thoughts and energy; my ray of sunshine on a bitter cold stormy day; and my sip of water after not drinking for a long time. Yes....it’s that important to me!
