  • My thoughts and experience being introvert. Everyone has their own experience. But perhaps there are many similarities? I share my own experiences and thoughts while walking through the snow covered streets of Oslo.

      I am so moved by the fact that my story resonates with a kind stranger on the other side of the world. I wish I knew as a kid that there is such a thing as introversion, and that it’s OK to seek quiet and not talk all the time. Now as an adult with this channel, I am connecting with like minded people. That’s amazing.
      Thank you for your generousity. Am appreciate it so much. I hope you have a peaceful week.❤️

    J'ai beaucoup aimé le quartier avec les maisons colorées et le parc ou les enfants jouent.
    Moi aussi je suis une introvertie mais beaucoup moins avec l'âge.
    Lorsque j'étais enfant j'étais d'une timidité maladive.
    Quand j'ai commencé ma vie professionnelle, les entretiens d'embauches étaient très dur pour moi tellement j'étais timide.
    Avec l'âge, j'ai 51 ans, je le suis un peu moins.
    En tant que solitaire et casanière, j'aime être seule, je lis beaucoup, je dessine, je jardine et j'aime faire des randonnées en forêt et en montagne.
    Actuellement je n'ai plus d'animaux de compagnie mais pendant longtemps nous avons eu des cochons d'Inde. Nous en avons tellement pris soin, qu'elles sont mortes à l'âge vénérable de 8 ans.
    Le vétérinaire n'en revenait pas d'un tel âge pour ces petites bêtes adorables.

      The area with the colorful houses is very nice and charming. It's nice in the winter, but even prettier in the spring and summer. I will try to film there again some time. Your lifestyle seems very nice and quiet. Mochi is my first pet actually. I never had one growing up. But I am loving it so much. She is my little friend.
      Love from Oslo!

      Je comprends, un animal de compagnie c'est comme notre famille.
      Il y a toujours eu des animaux aussi loin que je me souvienne chez mes parents pendant mon enfance. Nous avons eu des chats, des chiens, des oiseaux et des tortues, le tout ensemble. Une belle ménagerie. À chaque fois la perte d'un de ses petits êtres est une déchirure.
      Lorsque nous avons perdu notre petite Amande, notre petite Milka et notre petit Augustin, les noms de nos cochons d'Inde, j'ai été très affecté, j'en ai pleuré.
      Oh non ma vie est loin d'être calme. Mon compagnon n'est pas du tout comme moi, il veut toujours sortir.😄

    I'm a mix of the two. Since I was a child I was always very independent and had fun on my own and now too. Society values non-stop talking, even if nothing is said but nonsense. Observing and listening is just as important, if not more so, than talking. It's instructive and enriching. I loved your video and your reflections. I do talk to my cat, she's like a daughter. Owning an animal changes life for the better ❤️

    I like watching your videos, daily routins and mochi ☺️. I'm a gay, introvert and shy person living in Turkey. I can understand you because I experince the same feelings. I was too shy when I was a kid and actually still a bit shy. I think if you are an introvert, it doesn't matter where you live, you still feel that some people don't understand you and they want you to be as they are. Now you are my new friends that I feel close to my self. 🤗👋

      Being introvert is OK too. We shouldn't apologize for not being outgoing all the time. Not every one can be an extrovert. I learned this as an adult 🥰

    • @msr1116
      @msr1116 Před měsícem

      I've wondered about more than a few outgoing, chatty types who always need to be in the company of others. It's almost as if they're afraid of their own company, have too many bad memories or can't do without the ego stroking others provide. There are books available on being an introvert in an extrovert world that could be of benefit. After all, reading is one of our favorite pastimes !

While my husband is a hardcore social butterfly extrovert and I am an in between extro-intro (is there is such a word) we mesh well because we give each other space while also been together all the time, if that makes sense. I enjoy been alone and relish the stillness of just existing.

    Hi! The title of this episode did really strike a chord within me. I have been struggling with my introversion my whole life, I guess. I just discussed this with my psychotherapist last Sunday. Still trying to sort it out. It's a work in progress. This week, I started rereading Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking", hoping to find answers to my questions. Your videos do have a therapeutic effect on me. They help me to reconnect with my introverted nature and learn to cherish and truly enjoy it! Thank you! 🫶

    • @introvert-and-dog
      @introvert-and-dog  Před 5 měsíci +7

      I really appreciate your comment, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I haven't read Susan Cain's book, but I saw her TEDtalk, and that really hit home. Sorry to hear you've been struggling with your introversion your whole life. I wish there was more awareness in society. Until that happens, I guess we just have to learn to appreciate our quiet nature and create spaces where we are comfortable and don't feel pressured to be someone we're not.
      I have a memory from school when I was 7 years old. It was recess, and all the kids were playing noisily in the playground. I went for a walk all by myself, and when I was in a forest behind the school, I felt such peace and joy! And I remember singing this song I'd heard on the radio. Just all by myself. I'm sure if a teacher or classmates saw me, they would think I was crazy and needed help. LOL. But I was really having a good time!
      All our lives we're taught that spending time alone /being quiet and not loud and talkative is bad. That's just crazy! We're all different, right?
      Anyway, just rambling on. I'm glad my videos have a good effect on you.
      Take care!❤️

      Snow / winter is a big part of me, having grown up in Norway. In the deep of winter, after a heavy snowfall, the city is completely transformed. Not just in terms of looks, but even the accoustics change. Sounds are muffled. I love this transformation.
      The snow and darkness also makes it extra nice to stay indoors, great for an introvert!

      I'm no expert, but perhaps your granddaughter is happy just the way she is. Maybe she doesn't want or need more than two good friends? Personally, I'm happy with a handfull of close friends. And even though my life may seem boring or unfulfilled from the outside, I'm very happy on the inside. That could be the case with your granddaughter as well. The safest bet is to ask her in a friendly way ❤️
