Summary
This is a love letter to you, my fellow introvert.
I share a recent situation that triggered an old story related to me being an introvert (and feeling weird, different, weak, and abnormal because of it). I also share how I used that situation to release this story and shift to a deeper place of self-love and self-appreciation.
I talk about:
- the triggering event that made me feel weird and abnormal for being introverted
- how I used this situation to grow and understand my needs more clearly
- common needs we have as introverts (that other people might not get)
- building your self-confidence and self-love
- releasing patterns of self-judgment and self-criticism
I hope this is helpful! Remember you're an extraordinary person just as you are, and don't need to change yourself to fit in. Thank you for being here.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, my dear friend and fellow seeker on the path. |
| 0:09.3 | So here we are. |
| 0:10.7 | This is an impromptu bonus episode of Inner Work because something happened this weekend. |
| 0:18.5 | It's December 2023 as I'm recording this, and I realized it was important that I |
| 0:26.3 | share this with you. So let me set the stage. I'll share what happened, what I learned, |
| 0:33.6 | and hopefully what might also be helpful for you from this experience. |
| 0:40.3 | So yesterday, it was Saturday, and it was a particularly busy Saturday, a little bit of a stressful weekend, |
| 0:49.3 | and I finally found some time to myself in the afternoon. |
| 0:55.8 | It was around 4 p.m. |
| 0:58.0 | So I went up to my bedroom. |
| 1:01.5 | I told everyone I'm not going to be available. |
| 1:05.0 | I'm going to meditate. |
| 1:06.9 | I need to recharge. |
| 1:09.0 | So I went in my room, got all set up, got really comfy, got my meditation |
| 1:15.1 | music going, started to relax slowly, which was a little bit challenging this time, just because |
| 1:24.6 | there had been a lot of activity, was family earlier in the day. |
| 1:29.5 | So I was kind of hitting that limit of socializing, of external stimulation, |
| 1:37.2 | just really needing to go within, have some silence, and have some solitude. |
| 1:44.0 | Now, I personally need a lot of silence and solitude to feel |
| 1:50.7 | normal. So I'm in my room. I'm starting to relax, starting to let the tension go, and then I hear my dog downstairs just barking furiously the way that she does |
| 2:05.9 | when someone is coming into the house, right? And someone is indeed knocking on the front door. So my |
| 2:14.2 | husband who was downstairs goes to answer the door. And I can hear all of this, of course. And it's a friend from my husband's work and his new girlfriend. So they have shown up. They're just stopping by unannounced because they were driving through the area and, of course, |
