I love rain so much, I literally charge my earphones and tablet to listen rain sounds all night. It helps me get distracted on some negative thoughts and it magically helps me sleep and get comfortable. I feel at ease. Everything abt rain heals me.

The simple beauty of quiet-solitude is one of the greatest pleasures in life. When you are a peaceful, calm and relaxed, the world is a great and wonderful place.

I am a 52 year old social introvert, I have been an introvert for decades without really knowing what I was, I was derided and bullied as a child because of my introversion. I have always loved being alone and doing things by myself. If my phone never rings that's ok with me, I have literally less than 10 people that I can genuinely call my closest friends and prefer their company on the rare occasion I do feel like socializing. As an adult introvert I have discovered being alone in the woods and hiking, sitting down and taking in the surrounding is where I feel recharged, my thoughts are free to flow and so is my creativity. Thank you for putting these videos together, I do appreciate it.

After so many years and months of thinking about “what is wrong with me”, this video finally gave me the ability to be more happy with how introverted I am…. Since I’ve had been in the kindergarten, I am thinking about what I do and who I am a lot and the older I get, the more I realise how many facets my personality has.. for example that I kinda identify myself with all of the four different types of introverts in different situations or phases of my life. I was also very surprised about that every fact in that video was accurate and fitting to me. And I am happy that YouTube recommended me the perfect video that was meant to be seen by me. :D

3 types of conversations introverts do (from my perspective):

1. Deep conversations, lets you get emotional connection.
2. Laid back conversations, lets you get a connection, but without too much emotion. (Similar to small talk, but more honest and transparent, allowing an actual bond to happen. Usually with friends.)
3. *Memes, they're just memes.*

You have no idea how much I love rainy days.

[kaylanek]

Introverts just feel tired after spending time with people. Extroverts feel regenerated after. Anything else is either social anxiety or a misconception.

[chinwendunnonyelu]

Yes. The rain part got me. I love the chilly weather. It makes me calm.

[girly.mimi]

This channel is just what I need in my life at the moment. I think I'm a bit of both a social and a thinking introvert. I'm struggling to find valuable connections in my extremely sheltered life. I tend to think the insight and skills that can be attained through these videos will be invaluable. Thank you.

[despacitopari]

Hey guys, just wanted to tell you that you are doing such an awesome thing just by running this channel. I love the videos where someone shares their story. I just wanted to give a suggestion for upcoming videos. Maybe you could give an example (in each video of the behaviours, characteristics, and other things) and dedicate a video to all the *types of introverts* so that we can understand it all better. Thx for all your effort. Love ya ✨💝
