Introversion
from Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn · host Kirsty Brunker and Kathryn Ball
A trip to the introvert end of the introvert-extrovert spectrum, which turns out to be a lot less anti-social than you might expect, and not all the “loners” are serial killers! Needing quiet time to recharge your energy, and space to think before you speak, can lead to introverts feeling drained and “othered” by a society geared towards extroversion - we discuss how understanding introversion and where you are on the scale can benefit you. If you instinctively warm to the word “depeopling”, this one’s definitely for you! Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: Regardless of how much you enjoy it, does socialising drain you or energise you? If it drains you, how do you cope with that? If it energises you, how do you cope with time alone?
