Its funny many people think we don't have that many friends, are lazy or must be super bored.
When in fact we have deep friendships with people we just don't like surface talk, I've partied all night with people I care about and can have a good convo with or a good dance with, I've travelled the world with mates who were being them true selves.
The thing is we just can't stand fakeness, like we honestly give 0 fucks of how insta famous you are, how much money you have in the bank, whilst those things are great and good on you but we like to know about what's in your heart.
The reason being is many introverts are just super sensitive people so they can feel peoples pains and emotions so if we are having a conversation with someone and they are telling us how great their life is but we can feel thats not true it takes all our energy not to say bullshit which of course is not socially acceptable so instead we just make excuses of why we are busy.
We are not lazy we just enjoy the finer things in life. We could easily sit out in nature for hours and just be mesmerized by its beauty, the sound of the birds, the rustle of the trees, the wind blowing past our ears or even just the sensation of grass tips on our feet. Its like every little thing is magic and it brings us great joy, that's why many times when someone talks to us because it looks like we are doing nothing it takes a moment for us to focus again and move away from the awe of whatever we were doing.
And of course we could never be bored there is just so many great things to do normally our problem is the opposite one great example is we will always have more books than we can ever read in a lifetime as there is nothing better than diving into a great book and we are always planning for the next adventure so when we see a book we will like we will buy it even if we wont get around to it for a few years or more.
Each day we are faced with the battle how can i be paid to sit at home and read books, garden, cook, make stuff or sleep.
This is why many entrepreneurs are actually introverts they hated the pointless social interactions so much they decided to work for themselves.
A truly selfish act haha not really as we can get drained by people so by being forced to interact with people that generally we wouldn't be around is like someone pouring acid on your soul.
When we work from home every interaction with someone is intentional.
Eg with my doTERRA business and my CHEK Clients I am so present with them because I actually want to be there. I love it, I look forward to every class I ever run, hence why I have travelled the world to do them.
I look forward to every new customer who wants to be vulnerable and say hey this is where I am at and I would love your support.
There is just something so incredible about people being vulnerable.
But we do need to recharge extroverts get charged by being around people introverts get charged by having their own space, they love having a home base where they can retreat to before they head out again and some of us also like inviting people over because we get to pick who comes and also what time they leave.
So if you ever are around an introvert take it as a true blessing that they have chosen you to be around as what it actually means is that you mean the world to them and there is no place they would rather be than be by your side.
Now as a truly selfish introvert anyone that does feel like the essential oils I sell could help them, that the doTERRA Business model is something they could see themselves doing or becoming a 6 or 12 month clients could help them just send me a message as it brings me a lot of joy and without tooting my own horn I am bloody good at it
