The Introvert's Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World | 
“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You‘re bored. You‘re depressed. You‘re shy. You‘re stuck up. You‘re judgmental. When others can‘t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that‘s true to who we are.”
No one wants to be left out, even when we know we're going to say no.

I do like her idea of "managing your energy". This is something I need to do more of.
I do not like how she's talking about constantly leaving a party to go sit in the bathroom to avoid socializing. ?♀️ Or how bored she gets by talking to people...it just sounds kind of mean. Do other introverts think this way? I don't!
Not a review (yet) as I'm still reading it.
For those of us who are introverts, one of the many books out there on how we can function in a constantly noisy world. #selfhelpbook #selfimprovementsept
I‘m quite certain I‘ve never looked forward to St. Patrick‘s Day until this year. Reposting for @Samplergal #SixonStPaddys
Interesting article. I know many of us can relate!

This is hands down the best subscription box I've ever gotten. It's called Introverted Chick and I found it on Crate Joy. It includes a throw blanket, several bookmarks, origami sheets with instructions for making corner bookmarks, coaster, candle, tea, list of favorite books from subscribers, mini notepads, pen, book necklace, case with earbuds, couple of coozies, and, of course, a book with an autographed book plate. I am in love, y'all!
As the holidays get closer....... who is with me?
Some friends of mine are pissing me off. I spent the weekend in, reading and just introverting. I got constant texts trying to guilt me to go out or asking "is everything okay?" and "I miss you!" messages. After I told them all I was staying in to read. ??? And I'm still getting messages today while I'm at work about me not socializing. ???
Introvert problems... 😁

Do more but wish I could sleep more.
Both!
Both? I cook, I eat, I clean.
Switch platforms... Try audio, ebook, book podcasts.

Happy Thursday Littens!
Pretty accurate, but not perfect. 88% introverted. That's me.
So it‘s been a while (if ever) that I‘ve taken this test.
Very accurate results! 🤓 #introvertORextrovert
“When Logicians are particularly excited, the conversation can border on incoherence as they try to explain the daisy-chain of logical conclusions that led to the formation of their latest idea.... Logicians are unlikely to understand emotional complaints, they‘d much rather make a series of logical suggestions for how to resolve the issue.”
Yep- yet another INFJ on litsy. I'm 83% introvert- shocking. It fits me perfectly though.I do like people (I'm a nurse, so I probably should 🤣) but I'm happiest at home surrounded by my kiddos.
#introvertorextrovert @JoScho I‘m definitely an introvert.. my introvert percentage for Mbti was like 96% These stressors are super accurate for me.
I'm a former introvert who is now an extrovert who would like to revert back into an introvert. 🤦😬

Alright my Littens! Today I got real with you on the blog. This post is about my struggles as an introvert. Check it out at www.reademandeatblog.wordpress.com
One of my favorite types of parties 😊 With any luck I'll have my books set up by then so I can clear away some of my TBR 😊 #LitsyPartyofOne

Currently me psyching myself up for a get together I was supposed to leave for 15 minutes ago... #introvert #idratherbereading
Hmmm not sure about this. I don't feel like I stick to just one genre.

I clicked on a link and somehow found myself being told by the New York Times that everyone likes to go to parties.
Perhaps they included #litsypartyofone ?Otherwise, they can go away with their lame leadin to a "things to do" list.
Also? That last statement is missing a question mark. Get a copy editor, Times! ?

April was a busy month of travel, May a busy month of graduations and end of school year activities. I am in desperate need of peace so I am foregoing our annual Memorial family beach weekend for some #introverting #sadiescarlett
This is me! 😄 #introverting #maybookflowers
You were born that way! Now Gaga is stuck in my head :) but this quote is perfff!!!
The fantastic thing about an introvert party is that there's no one to judge you for slipping away at 10:30pm. 😏It's been a loooong week, getting used to an 8-5 schedule again after several years of adjuncting flexibility. This introvert is ready for bed. 😴🛌Thanks for a great #Litsypartyofone, everybody!
I love this!! I'm not sure I'll be able to participate the whole night (that is my 1 social night a week), but I'll try! #nopartylikeabookwormparty #litsypartyofone #callingallintroverts
I've been putting together a stack for the upcoming #24in48 readathon... a few from my #LitsyAtoZ list, a few on loan from friends (that I should really read and return), a couple library books, one book of poetry, and half of a series to finish up. I will probably also add in some of my in-progress reads. I won't finish all of this, but at least I have options!
so-soThe first few chapters, I found myself saying "YES" this is so me. It was very satisfying to read that I'm not weird or antisocial, I'm introverted & I'm just me & there is nothing wrong with the way I am.
The downside tho, is that I felt it was very repetitive & I actually skipped the last few chapters as it wasn't providing any new insights. Though I have never been a big readr of NF. My preference is to escape reality not delve into it.
But the good news is that more than ever before introverts are gathering, talking to each other, comparing notes and taking ownership of our nature.
