Exhausting is so on point! I try very hard to be "upbeat" when in a group as I hate having people always ask me, "What's wrong? Aren't you having a good time?" Or even worse, that one person that asks, "What are you too good for us here?" So, to make everyone else more comfortable, I try to engage as they do, and after a couple of hours, I have a headache, my throat becomes horse, and I can't think of what to say any longer. Someone always seems to find me when I sneak off to have that recharge break and feel the need to coax me back to the festivities. I really hate being treated like a shy little girl who just needs a good nudge out there and will see how much fun it all is! Many times, I am enjoying myself. I am just enjoying it from the outer perimeter of the festivities, that's all. I always found it funny that people seem to understand a person sneaking away for a "cigarette break" and will leave them to it, but if they find you "just sitting," there, alone, then you are in need of encouragement back to the all the fun. The fewer people I know at an event, the more fun I usually have. Because they tend to leave me alone. But the more I know at an event, the more I have to act as if I'm having the good time that makes my friends and family think I should be having and makes them feel comfortable. And it's completely mentally and physically exhausting! Fortunately, I now have a husband who can see when I'm approaching my limit and will sneak me out before anyone can catch us. And I love him for it!
Remember the expression “If other UA-camrs jumped off a cliff …” LOL. Your talk was enlightening where or not you were sitting on the floor or in a comfortable chair. I’m an Introvert that likes to travel by myself but likes to engage people along the way.
You got to have a plan when you get down on how to get up. lol! Thanks for clarifying my need for solitude which I never understood. This was very enlightening. Brilliantly conveyed. ❤ and helping me understand how you are comfortable out in coffee shop by yourself. I have difficulty eating out by myself and honestly have not done so since my divorce many years ago. Maybe I will give it a go. 😊

My husband is an extrovert while I am an introvert. I am very thankful to him for learning to see my needs to “introvert”. He is a missionary pastor and as his wife many people assume or demand that I be a certain way. Extroverted. But I’m not and he never asks for me to be so.
It's important to remember that kids can be introverts too. My kids are grown now but it wasn't until I studied personality types that I realized things would have been much easier had I known then what I know now. My oldest son is an introvert and everything you said in this video would have helped so much.
The one I heard all my life and usually from my Mother was: "don't be shy". To me it was a sign that the person really was not interested in who I am. Also, I completely agree with the long plane trip--shut up and leave me alone. Thank you!
My husband is an Introvert and this is why we do not vacation with other people. We get up when we want and come back to the hotel when we want. Sometimes he just wants to rest for a bit before we go out in the evenings. Great show.
“…and my core doesn’t like to be engaged” 😅 See, I can relate to what you said in so many ways! I’m definitely an introvert and my husband would probably tell you that I’m an extrovert, since I like people. I do…just not all at once, and I’m thinking I should have him listen to your talk because you explained me much better than I can. Not that you asked, but beside the fact that I get seasick, my idea of the worst vacation that I could take is a cruise - being unable to escape all the people would probably make me lose my marbles. Thanks for another awesome video and a great chuckle at the end. This video warrants tons of views BTW!
I hear you! My sister got married on a cruise ship so we all had to go on the cruise. We’re all introverts. It was AWFUL. You’re on a floating city and the noise never stops. Our room wasn’t enough of an escape because the constant noise and activity just outside the door. Thankfully, it was only a three day cruise. My husband and I didn’t talk to each other for days after we got home 😂
Well said, well said!!!! Those icebreakers in large groups are a nightmare. I don't remember a thing after those horrible things except that I'm exhausted with a headache. Spot on with the air travel feelings. I close my eyes to avoid unwanted conversation or have my husband sit in the middle. He has the personality that never meets a stranger. Years ago I didn't know "what" it was that I had. I just knew that my husbands office christmas parties and vacations full of strangers were something that I dreaded for months and felt ill just thinking about it. Now I realize there isn't a thing wrong with me, I'm just an introvert. I'm more able to give myself proper self care now. I guess better late than never at my age of 65. Thank you so much for speaking so beautifully on this topic.
I learned a lot why I am this way. After being around people all day at work. I just want to be alone. I hate meetings and really hated ice breakers. I always hated when you have to get in small groups. You brought a light on it. Now I understand why.
I'm an introvert, my husband was an extrovert.., two of our kids are introverts and two extroverts. People are often surprised to find out my daughter is an introvert because she is very good at conversing with people. My extrovert daughter recently took a week long cruise with her introverted best friend. Her friend spent the first 2 days in their room, reading and decompressing from work. My daughter was out meeting new friends in the halls, on the elevator, at the pool, everywhere! Her friend told her Mom, "Chelsea TALKS TO PEOPLE on the elevator!! 😂
Hi, Tim! I never noticed the floor thing. Thanks for helping others understand that we introverts are everywhere and no, we don't need or even want to change. I am self-aware and know my limitations and the extent of my awkwardness. God loves people more than anything and so I know I'm called to do the same. I just do it a little more quietly and more in the background than others and that's okay with me and God. Have a lovely day, Tim!
Wait, what? That's a thing? None of my YT people sit on the floor (ok, maybe one). I must not follow the hip crowd. To that end, I too am an introvert and you nailed it. My brother is as well and he enjoys more of the social interactions than I do but still requires that time to recharge. Hope you found someone to help you back up 😂. Loved the ending.
❤😊, my favorite training at work was the one that used Beiges Myers test then , broke communications techniques out into the different personalities. It was really helpful, in that I began to understand why I worked better with some project managers or contractors than others. It helped me understand when I needed to go for a walk in nature rather than go to lunch with others. I also learned I was in the middle on the introvert, extrovert questions and situations can bring about a more introverted side of me or the more extroverted side of me. Thank you for another informative and entertaining video.
Spot on. My husband is an introvert and really doesn't like traveling, but he'll do it for me now and then. He gets out of the house and does plenty of things, chatting it up with whoever will listen. Doesn't like large groups. Doesn't really even like small groups. In very small groups, you'd think he was an extrovert. Go figure.
My family of 6 are all Introverts and quite boisterous when we are together. After an hour or two we escape to our rooms to be alone 😁 Each of us only has two friends. It’s all we can manage 😂
Draining is a Perfect word. It took me a long time to figure out my husband is an introvert, not shy. He holds a leadership position, where is is in command of the room daily. It it is much more fun, as I have figured out- he’s still perfect. ✌️❤️
Great video with outstanding points. I’m an introvert and confirm and agree with all your points. “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking” by Susan Cain is a tremendous book! It should be REQUIRED reading by ALL managers, teachers & educators and spouses! It has great insight on the strengths of introverts and extroverts.
Thank you for the great tips. My man❤friend & I are both introverts & love road trips but he likes to talk while driving while I like to listen to music. We do both but it may be helpful to also go our own ways & recharge when we get there if at all possible. “Can anybody help me get up” lol your videos are getting better all the time 👍🏼
I learned several years ago that I'm highly sensitive - as well as being an introvert! At a gathering in SFO this weekend in a house full of people. I was stressing til I remembered I can take care of myself - go to a quiet place, cover my head with a blanket, take a walk. Self care is essential!
I’m also an introvert. Plus I have 2 UA-cam channels. Hearing you say this stuff. I’m Like dude you’re reading my mail! Actually you just help this 53 year old understand a lot more about myself. Thank you!!
I only found out that being an introvert was not something that was wrong with me and needed to be fixed when I was in my forties. It was life changing.
I appreciate your insight. I have been an introvert my whole life and never liked being in the spot light. People want me to take charge but I much prefer to be a follower rather than the leader. When taking trips I let others decide where to go, where to eat, or what sights to see and I am happy letting them make decisions. If I really am not interested I will let them know. One thing that helped bring me out of my shell was having a retail business for 30 years. Now I love talking to new people when I travel. This week I am in Tucson AZ and struck up a conversation with a couple on a tour. It turns out that they live close to me. In the conversation I found out that they had ancestors that fought in the American Revolution and that we are related.
OMG! I was hoping to watch you get up since you got yourself wedged between the coffee table and the sofa! I hope you got up. Thanks for sharing your side of being an introvert. I am the complete opposite and I am very sensitive to ensuring that everyone is enjoying themselves. I will check in with them but now step back and let them have their space and keep in mind of smaller groupings. Thanks for sharing!
I'm so in agreement with you. Many people can't understand why and how I, as a single woman, like to travel , go to concerts and plays etc. By myself. Interacting with another person at an event, especially if they are not enjoying themselves or physically have problems can affect my enjoyment of the event. I also find that others feel freer to engage with me when I'm on my own than when I am coupled up with someone else. Except for the fact that it is more expensive to book tours or cruises as a solo traveler, I do enjoy traveling on my own.
Top Ten Tips for Life with Introverts!!! ❤ As an Introvert I agree 100%! Best example of introvert travel I’ve ever seen was a flight home recently. The college student next to me grabbed her teddy bear, put her Spider-Man blanket over her head and napped in her safe cocoon. Brilliant! 🥰
As an introvert, I must have alone time. Spending time in a crowd (a crowd can be 2 or 60) tires me out more than working a full day on our farm....the animals don't talk my arm off. Shut up and leave me alone🤣 Excellent tips.
Glad to hear someone else say they didn't realize they are an introvert. I have no problem with public speaking or with stating my opinion, but it took many years to figure out that I am an introvert. Just because I CAN interact in groups, doesn't mean I want to.
Thanks, Tim. As an introvert, I've been putting off a group trip to Ireĺand because I am worried it will be too overwhelming. I just need to set boundaries for myself and hope others understand.😊
You make me laugh! In fact, I'm still laughing. If I were there, I would have helped you get up. That is the reason why I don't sit on the floor anymore. Great video describing an introvert. A lot of times, we are misunderstood. Sounded all natural to me. Your recommendations not only apply to travel, but life experiences/moments in general. Most introverts are loners. Thank you from one introvert to another!
Ha Ha ha. Getting up and down off the floor isn’t so easy these days. I recognise what you’re speaking about. I’m an introvert but I find when I travel alone, the most amazing things happen, random conversations, unexpected invitations. Then you can go to the hotel and relax on your own terms. Thank you.
I am an introvert. I dont need others to understand and support me. I care for myself. Just avoid group excursions, have always my own car alone with me. Sometimes I lie, that I have an appointment. When I am together with others, I support the party and I am nice to everybody.
I think our small family is all a little introverted (some of us more than others). Our last vacation was wonderful- including three trips to a two-story Barnes & Noble to replenish the reading material. When we traveled with a larger group of extended family, the best was a cruise. Everyone could do as they pleased all day and just show up at the appointed time for dinner together. Our son and I skipped the excursions and enjoyed some great movies in the theater.
I am the one who is introverted, and I agree with all of your points. Especially not liking large group tours! :) I much prefer to travel with few people or even alone. I feel more relaxed and like the freedom to do what I want. I feel more anxious when surrounded by many people than being by myself. It's peaceful :)
Thank you for this! My extrovert husband doesn’t seem to understand why I need to be alone sometimes. He loves to be around lots of people and tries to travel with other couples. This is so draining for me. Around other all day every day for a couple of weeks…😢
What a fun video, or, more like a one-sided visit. I really can feel my battery running down around groups of people. When we sheltered-in-place for covid I never wanted it to end, and we have held to keeping ourselves to ourselves. It may not work for everyone, but it's a perfect, delightful, restful life for me. I've enjoyed all your videos. Love the cooking ones especially, and the de-cluttering, or, living an essentialist life.
My life barely changed during covid. My ADHD extrovert husband was another story. If we had been living in a city with a strict shelter in place policy, his head would have exploded😂
People always tell me i am an extrovert but after your video i think i am an introvert. I do like my alone time. I really like your channel, i am 66 am not retired. Was in a 30 year marriage and didn’t save much for retirement but live in a beautiful little town in Missouri. I love thectravel you do, i would love that. Have you ever been to Luxembourg? My grandfather came here in the the 1920’s from there. My dream is to go there someday
I am an extrovert…but I still don’t want to have people tell me their life story while sitting next to me on a plane or bus…but I must t have the face for it. 😊
I like pizza with anchovies!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ my older brother is an introvert. My friends and i would always drag him to concerts! And that is how he met his wife, going on 24 years!!!😂😂❤❤ THANK YOU FOR THE COFFEE TALK!😂😂❤
I'm quite comfortable making 'small talk'with strangers and chatting with acquaintances but I don't want to do it ALL THE TIME! A longtime friend asked me to stay with her in an isolated part of Scotland and I refused because I didn't want to be 'on' all day. She reassured me that she knew I would keep myself occupied by taking off with a book for a few hours and she wouldn't have to entertain me so I think many people share your concerns. Yep, people talking for the duration of a long flight, is the worst. Thanks for the interesting and fun topic.
I’d say I was an introvert. When my husband and I go on holiday he will talk to anyone. I won’t talk to anyone. I don’t want to get involved with people I don’t know. Maybe I come across rude, but quite frankly, as I’ve got older I don’t care what people think. My worst nightmare is a wedding. I hate them….having a smile fixed on your face for hours with people I really couldn’t care less about and will probably never see again. My son is getting married next year and I’m already dreading it.
I think people are hung up on believing a person could only be either an introvert or an extrovert. I and many others are both. I am an introvert at certain times of the week and an extrovert at other times. I need both in my life.
Your ability to express your thoughts is amazing! I tried to read all the comments and it appears most people label their own personality as introverted. Since introverts are usually more sensitive toward others, I wonder if we (introverts) are picking up a kindred personality (you) before we know you are introverted. Do introverts type long sentences- because I have that down-pat, unfortunately. 😂
talk from the floor because you can prop your phone up on the chair or table... LOL. I am an introvert, but have to have alone time.. I recently went on a cruise. Thousand plus people all over the place. 2nd day there I never left the room except to eat a couple meals.. I was so mentally exhausted. No internet since I opted out of the Wifi package. I just slept... and enjoyed time alone. I hope to do some traveling next year. Alone. Plenty of time for decompression after crowded flights and other transportation. I like traveling! Meeting people that are interesting. But I have to exit and be alone afterward. After a day at work, where I am dealing with coworkers and patients all day, I like being alone at home.
I'm the introvert who married into a family of extroverts. My husband goes to semi-retired soon, and we have plans to RV travel quite a bit. Bless his extroverted heart, he was worried about what I would do on thr 2 days he will have to work... 😂😂😂 I don't think it will be a problem
I am a introvert, and worked as a RN for 35 years. (retired 2 years ago). My husband and I prefer to stay in hotels, and visit with others we are visiting during the day.
I don't know how true it is but I heard that extroverts are less sensitive to dopamine so they need more stimulation that would fry us out and that introverts produce serotonin in solitude. Some kind of brain chemistry stuff. The one on one socialization thing and hyper focusing on the simpler things like a drink or something beautiful are big signs.
T, great one for many reasons, I'm an introvert too. LoL, I was hoping you were going to show you getting up then you said "can somebody help me up" I LITERALLY lol !!! Also ? When you say " We'll see you next time" who's WE ?
😃 Yes, the Worst part of Sittin' on the Floor is Gettin' Back UP. 🤪 Bummer !! ("Used" to 💜 it.) The Ole' "B-o-n-e-'s" just Don't seem to wanta' Bend as Easily anymore. Great Video Tim. The People do have these Feeling's but Don't quite Know "How" to Express them. Ya' Really Hit it from ALL Angle's.
I am content in solitude, and I prefer being alone. Yet in my career, I was in the ‘public eye’ like yourself. Is there something like an introverted extrovert? There should be. Good advice for traveling. Just how did you get up from the floor?

Beautifully said! 👏👏👏 I’m exactly the same 🥰

OMG! I was hoping to watch you get up since you got yourself wedged between the coffee table and the sofa! I hope you got up.
Thanks for sharing your side of being an introvert. I am the complete opposite and I am very sensitive to ensuring that everyone is enjoying themselves. I will check in with them but now step back and let them have their space and keep in mind of smaller groupings. Thanks for sharing!
😅

Such a good explanation of an introvert! I am an introvert for sure.
☺
🙂
I'm so in agreement with you. Many people can't understand why and how I, as a single woman, like to travel , go to concerts and plays etc. By myself.
Interacting with another person at an event, especially if they are not enjoying themselves or physically have problems can affect my enjoyment of the event. I also find that others feel freer to engage with me when I'm on my own than when I am coupled up with someone else.
Except for the fact that it is more expensive to book tours or cruises as a solo traveler, I do enjoy traveling on my own.

Top Ten Tips for Life with Introverts!!! ❤ As an Introvert I agree 100%! Best example of introvert travel I’ve ever seen was a flight home recently. The college student next to me grabbed her teddy bear, put her Spider-Man blanket over her head and napped in her safe cocoon. Brilliant! 🥰
🤣

Also a good thing is to plan ahead with us, communicating your train of thoughts instead of makijg assumption

As an introvert, I must have alone time. Spending time in a crowd (a crowd can be 2 or 60) tires me out more than working a full day on our farm....the animals don't talk my arm off. Shut up and leave me alone🤣 Excellent tips.
😂❤
Found your channel few days ago and just love your videos , full of great advice, humor and wisdom. Now I am binge watching .
Welcome aboard!
Thank you. It took me a long time to realize that I am an introvert. Still finding my way and learning along the way .
🙂
Glad to hear someone else say they didn't realize they are an introvert. I have no problem with public speaking or with stating my opinion, but it took many years to figure out that I am an introvert. Just because I CAN interact in groups, doesn't mean I want to.
Namasté & Ho’Oponopono everything 🕊️❤️
I enjoyed your message. 🌷Thank You🌻
☺
🙏
Thanks, Tim. As an introvert, I've been putting off a group trip to Ireĺand because I am worried it will be too overwhelming. I just need to set boundaries for myself and hope others understand.😊
You can do it!
🙂
😊
You make me laugh! In fact, I'm still laughing. If I were there, I would have helped you get up. That is the reason why I don't sit on the floor anymore. Great video describing an introvert. A lot of times, we are misunderstood. Sounded all natural to me. Your recommendations not only apply to travel, but life experiences/moments in general. Most introverts are loners. Thank you from one introvert to another!
😊
🙂
I totally agree with the PD Icebreaker activities!
☺
❤
Ha Ha ha. Getting up and down off the floor isn’t so easy these days. I recognise what you’re speaking about. I’m an introvert but I find when I travel alone, the most amazing things happen, random conversations, unexpected invitations. Then you can go to the hotel and relax on your own terms. Thank you.
❤
☺
Great video and I loved the ending. 😆
The ending was brilliant
Thanks for the chat, Tim. You’ve helped me to understand the introverts in my life ❤️
☺
I am an introvert. I dont need others to understand and support me. I care for myself. Just avoid group excursions, have always my own car alone with me. Sometimes I lie, that I have an appointment. When I am together with others, I support the party and I am nice to everybody.
🤗
You did well to get down there in the first place Tim - well done lol & loved your wise words also! ❤
☺
I think our small family is all a little introverted (some of us more than others). Our last vacation was wonderful- including three trips to a two-story Barnes & Noble to replenish the reading material.
When we traveled with a larger group of extended family, the best was a cruise. Everyone could do as they pleased all day and just show up at the appointed time for dinner together. Our son and I skipped the excursions and enjoyed some great movies in the theater.
🙂
🙂
that was very enlightening
❤
Very insightful and transparent. Thank you 🙏❤🙌
☺
Well I would help you get up if I could. haha. Thanks for the video Tim. I am an introvert and appreciate the video.
☺
Good stuff, Tim! I'm pretty sure I'm an introvert too.
Hey, kudos to you for even being able to get on the floor! (the best part would have been seeing how you got up).
😅
My mother was an introvert and so am I. Great advice. This video is sooo spot on !!
❤
🤗
lol If I were to get on the floor like that, someone would have to help me up. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend! 🙂🙃😘❤
😊😊
Well said 😊
I am the one who is introverted, and I agree with all of your points. Especially not liking large group tours! :)
I much prefer to travel with few people or even alone. I feel more relaxed and like the freedom to do what I want.
I feel more anxious when surrounded by many people than being by myself. It's peaceful :)
🙂
🙂
Thank you for this! My extrovert husband doesn’t seem to understand why I need to be alone sometimes. He loves to be around lots of people and tries to travel with other couples. This is so draining for me. Around other all day every day for a couple of weeks…😢
🤭😔
I relate to every single word of this video! (Yes, even for help getting up from the floor, lol.🤣) Thank you!!
💚😅
🙂
What a fun video, or, more like a one-sided visit. I really can feel my battery running down around groups of people. When we sheltered-in-place for covid I never wanted it to end, and we have held to keeping ourselves to ourselves. It may not work for everyone, but it's a perfect, delightful, restful life for me. I've enjoyed all your videos. Love the cooking ones especially, and the de-cluttering, or, living an essentialist life.
My life barely changed during covid. My ADHD extrovert husband was another story. If we had been living in a city with a strict shelter in place policy, his head would have exploded😂
😊
🙂
Thank you for making this video. Hopefully I will not need to use the phrase shut up and leave me alone 😊
hopefully..😊
🙂
Great teaching
🙂
😊
People always tell me i am an extrovert but after your video i think i am an introvert. I do like my alone time. I really like your channel, i am 66 am not retired. Was in a 30 year marriage and didn’t save much for retirement but live in a beautiful little town in Missouri. I love thectravel you do, i would love that. Have you ever been to Luxembourg? My grandfather came here in the the 1920’s from there. My dream is to go there someday
🙂
🙂
☺
👍👍👍😁😁😁👏👏👏
Preach it, Brother!!
From one true Introvert to Another!
LOL 😊💛
☺
I have to have alone time. It’s really hard since I’m married to an extrovert who needs no private time. Bless you for this video.
😊🙂
😊
Agree to all of this.
🙂
Yeah, I was waiting for the joke at the end 😂😂😂 I feel you Tim! 😊 Greta video by the way 💪
😅
🙂😊
I am an extrovert…but I still don’t want to have people tell me their life story while sitting next to me on a plane or bus…but I must t have the face for it. 😊
☺
❤
I like pizza with anchovies!😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ my older brother is an introvert. My friends and i would always drag him to concerts! And that is how he met his wife, going on 24 years!!!😂😂❤❤ THANK YOU FOR THE COFFEE TALK!😂😂❤
🙂
❤
I'm quite comfortable making 'small talk'with strangers and chatting with acquaintances but I don't want to do it ALL THE TIME! A longtime friend asked me to stay with her in an isolated part of Scotland and I refused because I didn't want to be 'on' all day. She reassured me that she knew I would keep myself occupied by taking off with a book for a few hours and she wouldn't have to entertain me so I think many people share your concerns. Yep, people talking for the duration of a long flight, is the worst. Thanks for the interesting and fun topic.
😊
☺🙂
Thank you for explaining Tim ❤❤❤
🙂
🙂
Very informative.
👍
🙂
Can anyone help me get up? You crack me up! 😂😂😂😂😂
😅
😂😂😂
I’d say I was an introvert. When my husband and I go on holiday he will talk to anyone. I won’t talk to anyone. I don’t want to get involved with people I don’t know. Maybe I come across rude, but quite frankly, as I’ve got older I don’t care what people think.
My worst nightmare is a wedding. I hate them….having a smile fixed on your face for hours with people I really couldn’t care less about and will probably never see again. My son is getting married next year and I’m already dreading it.
☺
🙂
great tips thank you
☺
So well explained 👏🏻
🙂
😊
Felt ur pain on getting down to the floor! Worst will be getting off the floor!!
😅
I think people are hung up on believing a person could only be either an introvert or an extrovert. I and many others are both. I am an introvert at certain times of the week and an extrovert at other times. I need both in my life.
💚
😊
Your ability to express your thoughts is amazing! I tried to read all the comments and it appears most people label their own personality as introverted. Since introverts are usually more sensitive toward others, I wonder if we (introverts) are picking up a kindred personality (you) before we know you are introverted. Do introverts type long sentences- because I have that down-pat, unfortunately. 😂
😅😅😅 you are just delightfully silly!
😈👍😊🙂
@@akontarini The joy of The Lord!
:). I was a bit surprised at the number of introverts in the comments. You may have a very valid point!
talk from the floor because you can prop your phone up on the chair or table... LOL. I am an introvert, but have to have alone time.. I recently went on a cruise. Thousand plus people all over the place. 2nd day there I never left the room except to eat a couple meals.. I was so mentally exhausted. No internet since I opted out of the Wifi package. I just slept... and enjoyed time alone. I hope to do some traveling next year. Alone. Plenty of time for decompression after crowded flights and other transportation. I like traveling! Meeting people that are interesting. But I have to exit and be alone afterward. After a day at work, where I am dealing with coworkers and patients all day, I like being alone at home.
☺
🙂
I'm the introvert who married into a family of extroverts. My husband goes to semi-retired soon, and we have plans to RV travel quite a bit. Bless his extroverted heart, he was worried about what I would do on thr 2 days he will have to work...
😂😂😂 I don't think it will be a problem
🤣
I hear you!
😂
I am a introvert, and worked as a RN for 35 years. (retired 2 years ago). My husband and I prefer to stay in hotels, and visit with others we are visiting during the day.
☺
😊
I never thought you were an introvert.
I hide it well. :)
☺
I don't know how true it is but I heard that extroverts are less sensitive to dopamine so they need more stimulation that would fry us out and that introverts produce serotonin in solitude. Some kind of brain chemistry stuff.
The one on one socialization thing and hyper focusing on the simpler things like a drink or something beautiful are big signs.
☺
Read: The Introvert Advantage
It's an enlightening read.
I’ll look it up!
🤗
😊
T, great one for many reasons, I'm an introvert too. LoL, I was hoping you were going to show you getting up then you said "can somebody help me up" I LITERALLY lol !!! Also ? When you say " We'll see you next time" who's WE ?
It is the editorial We from my writing days. :)
☺😊
😃 Yes, the Worst part of Sittin' on the Floor
is Gettin' Back UP. 🤪 Bummer !! ("Used" to 💜 it.) The Ole' "B-o-n-e-'s" just Don't seem to wanta' Bend as Easily anymore. Great Video Tim. The People do have these Feeling's but Don't quite Know "How" to Express them. Ya' Really Hit it from ALL Angle's.
😊
☺🙂
The older I get, the less I need/want to be around people. People are exhausting. I'm planning a solo trip and looking forward to it.
☺
🙂❤
I am content in solitude, and I prefer being alone. Yet in my career, I was in the ‘public eye’ like yourself. Is there something like an introverted extrovert? There should be. Good advice for traveling. Just how did you get up from the floor?
🙂
When traveling I need private time to go within and relax with myself.
🤗
❤
NAILED it.
Did you get up ok? 😂
Barely. 😂
😂
You are just too funny! Ouch…get up off the floor! We have more in common than we may realize or admit. ❤
😊
@@akontarini So enjoy your daddy’s videos!
❤
@@Mysticislander02I am sorry but I am not his daughter, not that I would mind😅 but I am too old for that logistics to work. I am in Australia, and I am like you enjoying the videos and read the comments like a lot of us do. It's just happen to
