Thanks Lori. May we introverts learn the subtleties of the different signals we get. I used to take all signals as the reason to find some kind of cave. Rarely helped. I love your careful analysis of the signals. Thank you.

I can relate to every single part of this! There are many times when I just want to be a hermit (strong introvert over here too!). Over this last week, I've noticed my desire to retreat more because I'm feeling easily overstimulated.

I appreciate the way you explain when you typically need alone time and what it means to you. Having that awareness of yourself is incredibly valuable -- not just for you, but for everyone that is close to you. Being an introvert and a sensitive person can be complex at times! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on all of this. It feels good to be seen.
