Hey Guys! For this week's episode, I explore the concept of introversion with a fellow introvert, Aldwin Pagulayan. What I learned from this conversation is that as much as introversion is part of our identity and important to acknowledge, it only makes up one layer of who we are. Listen in as Aldwin and I talk about our similarities, differences, and how we are growing as introverts in life.
Helpful concepts!
"Jung (1921) suggested the principal distinction between personalities is the source and direction of an individual’s expression of energy. The interest of the introvert is directed inwards; they think, feel, and act in ways that suggest the subject is the prime motivating factor(Source 1)."
"Introverts are well-suited to many situations. A tendency to be reserved helps these personality types to pace themselves. They’re likely to listen to others more carefully. Very introspective, Introverts enjoy more focused “alone time” – leading to more and deeper insights. And, while sometimes too sensitive to their environments, this often helps them pick up cues more quickly, making them great at reading many situations.
80% of Introverts say they often find that time spent alone is more interesting and satisfying than time spent with other people, compared to 29% of Extraverts.
