Wednesday Whispered Ramble

First thing I noticed was 13:37 😂 Introvert checking in 🙋🏻‍♂️ I rarely actually hang out with friends since I don't really get invited all that often to do stuff, and I don't like making plans because I don't want to bother people. Not to sound like I don't get invited because no one like me but more like I have very, very few friends I actually do stuff with and aside from getting supper here and there we don't really do too much. I do go to a lot of car shows in the summer but tend to stick to myself as to not bother anyone pretty much, however if they talk to me I don't mind having a chat. I also don't mind, and actually appreciate you talking a bit more about what's going on in your life, whether it be past, present or future. It kinda helps to better understand you as a person and also reminds me that I'm not the only one going through crap here and there. Previous to a year or so ago I was very closed off but one of the other Discords I'm in has helped me to open up (not about my identity obviously) more, but also understand other people better. I hope things start looking up for you though 💜

Introvert power! Yes family dynamics are difficult to navigate...(I could do a whole audio on boundaries and the importance of doing what’s best for you to be honest). Being an Empath is hard...being told that you are too sensitive, etc. I had the same struggle. Sometimes I felt like an alien in my family growing up...my sibling is very outgoing, my mother talks nonstop, and my father was literally upset when I said I was an introvert years ago and seemed ashamed of me for it. But! Self awareness and boundaries help so much. Also knowing your gifts might be misunderstood by many but are still important. P.S. the Leet comment made me laugh :)

Introvert here. I 100% know how you feel. Having friends who understand your introvertedness is very helpful. Family relationships can be very complicated, I've found. Boundaries are extremely important. I'm still working on that myself. But taking care of yourself and knowing your limits is crucial. I think I might be an empath as well - I find I want to help people, but I also will tend to absorb their stress as my own, which makes it hard for me to offer support even when I want to. (I also wish more people would attend to their emotions more carefully, but I could write an essay about that.). Also, this audio is 13:37 long, which makes it very LEET in my book ;)
