The undervalued power of being alone

What if I told you that knowing how to be alone is a superpower? Perhaps you would find it funny, especially if you are an introverted person like me. Maybe is because being introverted is quite undervalued in the society in which we live, to the point where those of us who do enjoy being alone come to feel "ashamed" of this. However, making time to spend by yourself every day is something we should all start doing. All of humanity's problems come from man's inability to sit quietly in a room…

Disadvantages of being a Highly Sensitive Person

Growing up being in an unorganized room was enough to put me in a mood. The sound of other people chewing, the crunch of a plastic bag, or the loud noise of a motorcycle drove me crazy. I thought it was just a mania as everyone told me the same thing, that I was too sensitive and picky. Today we call that a highly sensitive person, people who feel more deeply than the rest. Being a highly sensitive person (HSP) can make you feel different. However, being very sensitive is not a…

Reasons why introverts are so attractive 😻

Most of the television shows that I watched when I was growing up had as their protagonist a character with charisma, extroverted and with always something to say.

In this post…

Can extroverts have social anxiety?

The first image that probably comes to mind when we hear the word extrovert is someone talking their heads off, being the center of attention and surrounded by a lot of people. On the other hand, when we think of an introvert we associate images of a quiet person, with few friends, and even insecure of himself (read here about the myths of being an introvert). It was the psychologist Carl Jung who classified these two groups based on where they find their source of energy. In short, Jung argued that crowds…

How to study a degree with social anxiety.

Studying should not be a handicap for a person with social anxiety, until you realize that part of your grade will be measured by oral presentations, team projects and participating in class. A nightmare! While any person may feel stress or anxiety at specific times of the day, a person with social anxiety will have a persistent and irrational fear of socializing in general.

Best jobs and careers for Highly Sensitive People

Do you feel that your work steals all of your energy? when you get home all you want is peace and quiet. Silence. You need your mind stop for a while. Is that normal?

At least if you work in a work environment with too much sensory input, from customers walking in, the phone ringing, the radio in the background, co-workers talking loud. All of this can be overwhelming and emotionally draining for a person of a sensitive nature. When you dread going to work every…

Introvert and loneliness, do you feel alone?

Introverts need to be alone, not feel lonely. Loneliness is very beautiful… when you have someone to tell it to.Gustavo Adolfo Becquer Difference in terms: being alone vs loneliness There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely. While the former is a fact and somewhat objective, the latter is a state that lasts over time and depends more on each person. We are all alone at some point in our days, but that does not mean that we are lonely. Loneliness is subjective. For example, if you are a…

How to know if an introvert like you (8 attraction signs)

The introverted personality is surrounded by myths and misunderstandings. They are often labeled as inconsiderate and their initial distance is taken as if they do not care about others. I would like to point out that an introvert does not necessarily have to be shy. While the former gains energy by being alone, a shy person feels embarrassed to socialize even afraid. In the future I will write an article about signs that a shy person likes you so you can see the differences. Also, introversion is not a label, but can…
