Introvert Q&A: in the money?

September 1st, 2009 · No Comments · 100 days, Introvert Q&A

Sarah: Wow, I’m secretly jealous that you are so good at making money!  So far I have not been!  I have finally begun to accept this. I just always thought there was something really wrong (i.e. pathological) with me not putting money first and foremost.
I suppose I have been good at working on my healing and self-awareness. [...]

Introvert Q&A: Are we socially phobic?

July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Introvert Power, Introvert Q&A

livnlern: Thank you for writing “Introvert Power”. I can identify with so many examples in your book. When you described how an introvert reacts when reaching the limit at a party, you could have been writing about me personally!
I’m just wondering…what is the difference between just being introverted and having something like social anxiety? I’m [...]

Joan: Is there a way for 2 introverts who dwell and thrive in a different set of ideas and passions to fully connect? What is the bridge that needs to be built?

Christina: I think this Q&A is a great idea. I wasn’t sure how to submit my question, so I’m using the comments, I hope that’s okay. First of all, I really enjoyed your book, Introvert Power.

Introvert Q&A — Puzzled Extrovert

May 13th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Introvert Q&A

Crystal: I am an extrovert married to an introvert, and I feel very lonely at times.  My husband tends to prioritize other things before me. Sometimes I understand this, but there are other times I wish he would hear what I say and ask of him.  I would mean so much to me to just get a hug or to be held [...]

Introvert Q&A: Ditching Disney

May 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Introvert Q&A

Hello Fellow Introverts and Curious Extroverts–                                                                                                                                                            I am getting more and more requests for tips on asserting introversion in a “extroverted” world. (Note that this is NOT actually an extroverted world. See INTROVERT POWER or the comprehensive research in the MBTI Manual; Introverts outnumber extroverts!)  Thanks to Crystal for suggesting I put up an Introvert Q&A. Though she [...]
