One thing I love about being a true introvert is never getting bored - if you don’t like the company of others, you better like your own company 😅 I’m never short on things to do - granted, a full-time job, studies and housework ensure I don’t really have a chance to get bored 😂 I kind of want to try the pretending-to-be-someone-else bit though, it could be fun!

I can totally relate. During the lockdowns I helped a lot of people that were lossing it because they are use to a lot of external stimulation and validation in order to function. I one was heard it stated, “that boring people are boring”! I truly believe knowing yourself, cultivating your individual interest, and developing ways to remain productive (not the same as being busy) and creative are things each person that everyone can benefit from exercising in theses key areas!

One of my favourite things to do by myself is: TRAVEL. As far away and for as long as you like. I find you get much more out of it because of the following: - no having to compromise to make someone else happy. - no exhaustive decision making - you make ALL the decisions -no having to wait on someone - no one talking to you while you're trying to take in the sights and sounds of your surroundings. - you are more acutely aware of EVERYTHING because you have to be in order to be safe, or not miss a connection or bus, etc.

I LOVE going to galleries on my own. I take a small notebook to art galleries and I record a stream of consciousness on each painting that takes my fancy. My favourite activity on my own rn is Bird Watching. Good pair of binos, field guide and a notepad and that's a day out. I always take sandwiches and a flask of tea, and when you go on your own you always get into a good chat about birds with people! I think you'd like birding Ruby. Anyway, coming back again to ask for a Vegan favourites series! Snacks, meals, sandwiches. That sort of thing. I'm trying to eat more plant based and would love an insight into your faves.

@imaginationsmusic1985 Год назад

My immediate family is small but holidays can be a little noisy for me. I've come to the realization that it's ok if I dont want to spend the whole time talking to everyone. Sometimes the conversations and laughter get loud, so I've learned to just quietly go to another room and read or look up something on my phone for a few minutes. Even just a couple minutes away can be a refresher and keep me in a good mood 😊

@malv4935 Год назад

Great ideas! It just feels so validating to hear these things as an introvert myself. We need to recharge our batteries in our own company, but we so often feel some sort of guilt for not doing something else or doing things by ourselves. That is a mindset that has to change. It is also surprising how similar we introverts are, yet different in our own ways. I can see myself doing (and also already do) pretty much everything you mentioned in this video :)

@Rinzler.14 Год назад

As an introvert I find being on my own replenishing, as being around other people is so exhausting for me. I especially like reading a good book for many hours in peace and quiet. But recently I’ve been trying to encourage myself to get outside and go public to places like cafes or parks while taking a book to read or some writing, that way I get to do what I like while also putting myself in a place where I might end up possibly being social and meeting other people. I like eating out for a treat even if it’s just me, going to a good movie or just relaxing at home watching TV, Netflix or watching an old favourite movie on dvd. Even though family gatherings are usually hard, I am now making an extra effort to try to connect and listen to others about their days, lives, stories or what’s coming up in the future, I guess it’s only the polite thing to do so.

@legomaster9190 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing these ideas! And I find it to be quite true, this point you made about things to do: they indeed tend to lean more towards the social, though I've begun to notice a slight shift in this as well. I find even this to be somewhat interesting. Why the shift? Regarding the reading point, I don't know why, but I become so self-conscious if I were to go to the park or some other place like that and just start reading there. Mind, I haven't done this yet, but it's something I've wanted to do for a while now. Guess I'm too nervous of just "sit there and do nothing". Maybe I'll try to overcome this one on this summer... The other tips are good and nice, too. I especially liked the one where you create your own character and then pretend to be said character. I don't know how well I'd do with that one, but it sure feels like something really worth at least trying!

I’m very much an introvert, love my own company, never get bored and very much a home person. I do think people don’t understand how you can spend so much time on your own and do get friends that worry about me, bless them but I can’t explain to them enough that I’m ok. I won’t tell you my age as my age doesn’t go with my brain/mind age, inside I’m still young. I’ve put on my wish list for Christmas a Waterstones Voucher (I suffer from anxiety) so my goal in the New Year is to take myself to Waterstones (Plymouth, as I live in Devon). Spend hours in there looking at all the amazing books and to sit down alone in the cafe and read. I never get enough time in there as when I do go with a friend they get bored and don’t enjoy books as much as I do. There’s something about a book shop that makes me feel calm and amongst like minded people. You are such a grown up young lady and love your vlogs, never to old to watch. (I’m probably around your mums age) she should be very proud of you. You would make a great teacher as I love listening to you and learn things I wished I listened to at school. Never to late to learn eh! xxx

Being an introvert, I've noticed even now that I'm married I still love my alone time. I feel like it's something I need.

One of the benefits of being a true introvert is that you never get bored - if you don't enjoy the company of others, you should enjoy your own. I'm a bordering school student who is never bored - granted, I don't have much time to be bored - but I'd like to try some new things; it might be fun!

I’m currently reading “Fahrenheit 451,” and a major aspect of that society is that only social activities are acceptable as leisure time. If you’re doing anything alone, it would need to be sitting in an interactive TV parlor or driving at dangerous speeds on the highway. Only high energy/adrenaline activities, which are anathema to introverts. This is also an important aspect of other dystopias: “Brave New World”, “1984.” Being alone with your thoughts or someone else’s thoughts by reading are “anti-social” behaviors. I worry about the anti-intellectualism I see in conservative politics, particularly in the US, but also around the world. Hopefully, as long as we have introverts, we won’t lose our collective mind as a society.

I am not sure that I am an introvert. I love spending time with friends and family, but between those meeting I need lots of time alone. My hobbies include: reading and watching videos, photographing still lifes at home, taking early morning or evening photo walks to fields, empty beaches (fall, winter, spring), woods etc., baking, drawing. So most things I do I actually do alone most of the time, except clickertraining my budgies - but that is with budgies, not other people. Most of the time I meet other people it is either only for talking, a breakfast outing, very rarely baking or taking photos together and often of fitness activities.

2:01 It is very fun! It’s been a habit of mine for so long to make up my own characters and personas and embody them throughout my day! Keeps me entertained beyond bounds. I have favourites now and one of those characters has been with me ever since I was 11. There are certain people who called me ‘unstable’ when they found out, but I do not agree with them, because to me this in itself is expression and exploration, all the possibilities of what I can be. It’s liberating, mind-freeing, and I find self exploration to be very entertaining when practiced this way.

in my opinion, the introverts (count me in too:)) are most likely to became an actor/actress because they usually (talking abt myself btw) dont like to be like theirselves. as an INFJ, i really dont like being in the mood of anxiety. its so bad and i cant help it to not be like that...(tried) like, sometimes when im alone in my room or any place doesnt matter. im starting to talk to myself or a mirror if there is one. and i play a witch that goes to hogwarts, or whatever i want. it helps me everytime. if you are an introvert, please try it out! bye:)

Growing up, before RU-vid was a thing (I'm 33), I didn't know I was an introvert as the term. I knew I liked my alone time and just assumed it was me being different in some way but no knowing how to explain why. I love my wonderful friends but I have my limits.. I almost feel like being with my friends takes away from the time I like to spend by myself just because I really do always have my 'alone' hobbies. It's great that we can normalize this because extroverts I have met in my life just thought I was depressed.

Oh man! I pretend to be my comfort characters all the time, or either they're married to me. I love it and it's such a great thing for writing something, or simply daydreaming. And the best part is the problem solving part. By pretending to be one of my babes, I can see the problem that are bothering me in another prospective, or simply I write them letters, or again I'm me and they're by my side listening. The best part is when we just chill, just looking at how the rain falls, at how the sun goes down and leaves the place to a cozy winter evening ... oh man if I adore those moments!

As an introvert, alone time means the most when it's a choice. When you don't have any friends or partner it's just kind of the default and you're being robbed of making the most of your alone time when it becomes "all the time." Other introverts perpetuating the idea we all want to be alone all the time is frustrating to me for this reason. It's the best, yes. When it is truly a recharge.

You forget to mention Praying, or you never intended to. Whatever it's the best activity to do alone as an introvert, connecting me and God, in such a beautiful act.

You keep me really motivated whilst I’m in my third year of uni (Ngl I’m not enjoying it that much) your videos are such a boost and escape for me. Keep being you, gorgeous person xXx

A cool way to make bookmarks if you don’t like to paint is to make thick friendship bracelets. I have several double-chevron bookmarks and string is extremely cheap :) I even make ones inspired by the cover of the books I’m reading it’s so fun!!

I do the pinterest one a lot! I always felt guilty about it, because it just feels like I'm wasting time on my phone, but it's nice to see it as an actual activity ☺

Thanks so much for these ideas, I completely relate to finding social activities still fun but it definitely drains my energy! Thanks again!

I love doing the character thing! I like doing impressions and accents so I have a bunch of characters from different countries and whole life stories that I'll use when I go out and end up talking to a person I'll never again see in my life (cashiers, waiters etc.) just because I find it slightly amusing and it also takes me out of my natural character and makes me way less nervous in public. Some of the people at my Uni who know I do this have started inviting me to dinner and lunches simply for the entertainment of how eccentric I get with some of them and the victim desperately trying to get me to shut up because they aren't interested in my characters life story. Highly recommend. (I might be an awful person)

Interestingly timed video - I was listening to Ali Abdaal’s podcast on Alonement just today at the gym! (ft. Francesca Specter). This was like a perfectly appropriate wind-down-watch after that 😂
