6. The inner life isrepparttar most important. Jackie has often been quoted as saying that parenting wasrepparttar 130737 single most important and overriding concern and accomplisment of her life, which was filled with things that many poeple consider more important. However, they are external things: wealth, romance, fame, success, adoration, glamour, popularity, etc. Jackie's inner life dictated devotion to her children. 7. Introverts seek authentic meaning in their lives. Certainly Jackie Kennedy Onassis was a woman who never had to work a day in her life but she chose to enterrepparttar 130738 field of publishing in her forties. The books she edited were personally meaningful to her. 8. Introverts love nature andrepparttar 130739 outdoors. Jackie Kennedy was often photographed in sail boats, on yachts, horseback riding and walking in Central Park. 9. Introverts require privacy.

Introverts Have Rich Inner Worlds

Written by Nancy R. Fenn


Continued from page 1

“The best description I’ve heard ofrepparttar difference between introverts and extroverts is that introverts get energy by being alone and extroverts get their energy from other people. That’s my experience exactly! I love being around people, but it drains my energy and I need quiet, alone time to restorerepparttar 130735 balance. I love being alone in nature. It feeds my soul - - as do music, art, beauty . . . . I still would mostly rather experience this alone, than share it with a friend (there are exceptions, of course!)

“The plus side to being an introvert is that I do enjoy a rich inner life. I feel that I’m more inner directed than following any external norm or cultural values . . . . The down side is, I don’t often feel validated byrepparttar 130736 world - - much of my life I did not feel like my gifts, talents were welcomed or received. I had a different way of knowing, perceiving, expressing, carrying information, and often kept silent because of these multitude of experiences of put downs, ridicule, shame. I know I was often perceived as shy, weak, passive, opinion-less, just because I didn’t speak out.

“So - - it’s often been a lonely life. I don’t readily open up to people until I know and trust them. I often feel vulnerable because my energy often spins inward and I can become an easy mark for taking on other people’s stuff, unless I protect myself.

“Atrepparttar 130737 same time, all this can be a powerful gift. As an adult, I’ve created work that fits my personality, uses my intuitive skills and empathic nature and allows me to share my gifts. What a blessing!

“Growing up, I always longed to “find my people” because I sure didn’t feel like I belonged in my family. As an adult, as I’ve found more and more people like me, who I can resonate with (mostly through women’s consciousness groups and other healers and artists), I’m finally feeling more “at home”.

“As an introvert I tend to gather my seeds and nurture them inrepparttar 130738 quiet andrepparttar 130739 darkness ofrepparttar 130740 inner world - - rather than being anxious for them to sprout and grow and be visible inrepparttar 130741 outer world. In my journey toward wholeness, I’ve found peace inrepparttar 130742 balance as my inner and outer worlds merge more easily.”
