Do you need to drink to tolerate being at a party? This is one of the questions Sophia Dembling wanted me to address on her Introvert Corner blog for Psychology Today online. I wrote an essay for the blog, and you can find it at: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-introverts-corner/200912/introverts-and-parties-just-add-alcohol.
An important topic to consider as we enter the holiday season and all the accompanying pressures to PARTY! How about a little Peace on Earth (and in my schedule?).
I am hearing from introverts who are finding some great alternatives to the standard merriment. One is taking a Christmas retreat — all by herself! One extrovert set up an ”introvert room” for her party to accomodate her introverted friends. The room featured soft lighting, comfortable seating, relaxing music, books…
Let me know of creative ways you are taking care of your introvert selves (and/or introverted loved ones) this season. And have a rich, reflective, relaxing holiday.
Peace, Laurie
