      It's called balance. Everyone has a different balancing point but I do believe either extreme (wanting to be alone all the time or needing to be with lots of people all the time) is unhealthy. All my family are dead except one sister who choses to be estranged. plus I am a senior so I get my social interaction working part time in a store. A few hours a day with a steady stream of people, which I enjoy, then coming home to the blissful quiet of my home where I pursue solitary interests. The balance is right for me. I dread when I have no work and I am completely alone 24/7. That is not my balance.

    I’m an introvert, no husband, no children. It’s just me, myself and I. I have friends but not any close friends. Most of my friends are married, live out of state or are committed to someone and my time with them is limited. I don’t crave anymore to be somewhere doing something either by myself or with a friend. I’m 77 years old and just plain tired. I want to be more healthy. I long to have more energy to live each day productive and satisfied that the day was fulfilled. My peace is not in the city I live in but being with nature away from computers, the internet and iPhones. My peace is in the Africa bush with its wildlife, with the wind blowing in my face and a camera taking my best photos. I savor every moment living my best and feeling alive in the Africa bush.🦁🐘🦒

    What I would give to live in a French cottage like that, in France - where my ancestors came from! That aside, I started being in introvert when society gave too many pressures on family - probably 30 years ago. I was a stay at home Mom and cared for my family. I now live in a home built in 1757, live as a modern day minimalist with 27 acres of woods and 5 acres of farm land. I rescue thrown away farm animals. I bake my own bread, grow my own herbs, dry my clothes on a line, dry my lavender and herbs, collect the eggs from my chickens who I adore. I seldom go outside my farm land - Maybe once every other week to get groceries of things not grown here. We live in harmony here. This is my sanctuary.

These types of people are extremely rare, those who can offer me such an experience comparable to my joyful life alone. I never feel lonely by myself.I do feel frustrated or angry however when I am around 95% of people. Their ideas actions and words do not match mine. So it is very negative for my soul to hang around such people, groups or crowds. I find my company the best ! And also my animals and plants are a very good company.

    I value silence above all else, I am finding it really difficult to find a home I will be happy in. My society keeps building new estates and the houses are all crammed together, shared driveways and neighbourhood fences to encourage community. Makes me feel more isolated. A world built for extroverts.

    I am an introvert. Pretty much always was. I was married for 51 years. The first 13 years he was in the Navy and I was never really comfortable with having to do so much socialization. When he retired from the Navy, he went to work for AT&T, and again there were required parties, which I dreaded every time we had to go. he finally retired from there. We moved into a motorhome and traveled the United States for 14 years until he passed away in 2016. Yes, there was some socialization, but we could pick and choose what we wanted to do and the longer we did it the less we were inclined to join in. When he passed away, I moved back to Savannah Georgia to be near my daughter and bought a Townhouse. I pretty much kept to myself, since I tend to be a lot older than most of my neighbors, and my immediate neighbor, who is not friendly at all because she worked. I have trees behind me, and I was always happy to just be out there with the birds and squirrels, etc. Then my neighbor retired and all of a sudden after six years of never talking to me she started getting very friendly because she’s alone and has no family down here. She had to have a procedure done and told me she had no one to take her so I took her. Then I find out later that she does have a few acquaintances, and one offered to do it. well then she got friendly with the lady on the other side of her and I stayed away from her because she is a clairvoyant/channeling/reiki healing. I could not deal with that. Well, every time my neighbor sits out in the evening she text me and tells me to come out and I don’t know how to nicely tell her I don’t want to. the other night I was getting ready to take a shower at 6 PM because I wasn’t going anyplace. No one was coming over and she texted me and told me to come out and I said I was getting in the shower. She said it’s too early for you to get in the shower. Put your clothes on and come out. and I thought lady you’re not my mother number one and number two I’m 82 years old you’re 59 I don’t enjoy sitting with you. I am just so happy to be in my home and do some little crafting that I do. Trying to learn how to do simple watercolors and practicing calligraphy. While listening to soft music. It has gotten to a point where I dread taking my dog out because every time I do someone hears me go outside and they come out and start with all this drama that’s going on in the neighborhood. I just want to be left alone. I wish I had a stand alone house but with the economy and price of homes, moving is not an option. Thanks for listening.

    always been introvert.. realized:
    more people more competition who is the loudest, who is the greatest clown, who is the person who everyone follow
    people in big groups are unneeded drama, usually pretty fake and toxic relationships
    drugs, alcohol, partying till 4am... waste of your time, money and health..
    all just distraction from life and slowing you down to reach your goals
    building your ideal life..
    small circle of friends and just your company and if you are pet person yes have a pet
    its enough for me! me and my dog explored new place in the forest
    it was lovely, peaceful day

SOMETIMES MY MUM USED TO CALL ME, SAYING GO TO PLAY WITH THE OTHER KIDS,...TODAY I AM MARRIED WITH MY FREEDOM, MYSELF. IT IS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY LIFE. I AM 55Y, 2 KIDS, WHO HAVE THEIR LIVES. I AM LIVING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, ALONE!

At the age of 59 l have grown to cherish this quality in myself and l don't feel that l "have to fit in" anymore.

    Hello from Canada. I am definitely an introvert as I work from home and all of my spare time is spent in my garden with the birds, butterflies, and squirrels. I have a comfy sitting place and I read and write. During our long winters, I use our spare bedroom which I've turned into a library. My husband is a dear but I don't mind that he works long hours and I have the house to myself for much of each day. I do worry about the time when he retires. He needs to find a hobby so that we each have our own time and we can come together in the evening and share our time then; like we always have.

    Thank you so much for making this beautiful video! There is so much shame surrounding being an introvert as a child, you feel as if there's something defective about you. The more we accept ourselves as introverts, the more others may accept us. And if they don't, we still win because we learned to accept ourselves! 💖💖💖💖💖

    A wonderful revelation of a perfectly normal existance. My take as a recovered alcoholic, 23yrs sober, is that we are all brainwashed and conditioned from birth into believing we need alcohol to relax, to be sociable, to enjoy ourselves and to interact with others. I discovered such a lifestyle didn't fit with who I am. In fact, alcohol made me totally antisocial. In recovery I realised that I prefer to avoid crowds and party-style gatherings. I now accept my differences and in harmony with them. This is the authentic me, the me I was born to be and it eliminates the burden of having to compete or please anyone else. Hip, hip, hooray, to everyone bold enough to stay true to themselves. Thank you for sharing, dear Whimsical Berry!

But sometimes, I need to share significant conversations with one person at a time. i also want to play some music , in intimate surroundings... Someting deep and quiet.... I live in the city, so, i like to go alone when the sun is just rising, and nobody is there .... Only pigeons. .😌🌅

    You are right-on about everything! Society deems introverts as shy, unconfident, withdrawn, etc. So far from the truth. If it weren't for us quiet ones, the ones that have so much to say about nothing would have no one listening to them. There are so many jobs that introverts are so much better at also. I love being alone, but all my jobs have been in direct contact with people all day. I am very social with them and like it for the most part, but so happy to come home to peace and quiet. My favorite time of day. Just me and my cat. Until recently I had a German Shepherd for years also. I worked in mental health and believe many would have peace of mind if they just realized they just need much more alone time and not forced to have constant stimulation from outside sources or be made to feel like an outsider. I love nature and long to be enjoying it much more. I can't wait to retire. People will be calling be a hermit. 🤣❤ I love your videos!

    Мне кажется, что интровертов на самом деле очень много. Просто действительно, с самого детства нам внушают, что это плохо. Но с приходом интернета многие перестали общаться вживую. Винят в этом интернет, но думаю, это происходит потому что так многим комфортнее, безопаснее, так многим проще быть более честными и настоящими, не подстраиваясь под кого-то. Я тоже интроверт. Я люблю одиночество, потому что оно делает меня свободной. Спасибо за Ваше видео, оно чудесно ❤❤❤
