Episode 4021: Lauren McNeill explores how highly sensitive introverts often pour so much energy into caring for others that they neglect themselves in the process.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://introvertdear.com/news/sensitive-introverts-your-needs-are-important/ Quotes to ponder: “Our patience is not infinite, and neither is our energy. You cannot starve yourself and expect your body to function at its peak, and the same is true of your emotional energy.” “It’s amazing how strong we sensitive introverts can be, and catering to our needs every once in a while certainly isn’t selfish, it’s absolutely necessary.” “We’re kind and compassionate to our friends, yet we can be overly critical of ourselves and our perceived failures.” Learn more about your ad choices.
