I'm an introvert living with depression...

I can't wait to discuss this part of my mental health journey with you!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an introvert. It is not a character flaw that needs correcting, in itself it is simply a personality trait which makes you who you are

Even growing up I've always loved being alone. When we would move and we moved a lot, id choose a tree in the yard and it was MY special place to be alone.

I've had almost that exact conversation with my fiancee about needing time to prepare for a social event, and if something comes up out of nowhere it's really stressful for me. I have that same kind of guilt for not participating in social events as much as I could. It's honestly great to hear someone who has that same experience as me, I don't feel like I hear people talking about that, it's good to be reminded I'm not alone.

As an introvert I feel the same way about parties. I've actually been grateful for the covid lockdowns...it's been nice to not be invited to things.

I, too, am an introvert, but fortunately no a depressive.
Having been raised in Europe by Europeans, I never felt any pressure to be outgoing until I moved to the Uk when I was a teen. Initially I tried to fit in, but after working in Europe in my 20s, I realised I needed to be me and not be a people pleaser.

Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly.

But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I still enjoy helping people and my friends today.😞

I haven’t felt uneasy, guilty, frustrated, or imperfect being an introvert. I am at peace being as I am, an introvert with the dx of BPD. I have learned a great deal from watching Med Circle. The information is valuable and very interesting for those learning of psychology and also learning about their particular dx. Thanks for being honest and open regarding your dx of depression. I can identify I experienced that many years ago. Presently I’m learning what I can about BPD. Thanks Kyle 💖

"Nothing else to give" .. perfect! My house is chaotic and I love it, but many times, I love it at a distance. I'm in my room alone. I can hear the fun n energy and I get joy from it. But I'm keeping to myself.
I love plants! Lol 😆 the cats are too needy

Hi Kyle! I totally hear ya! I don't know if you checked out Susan Cain's book "Quiet" but its a great book that made me feel good about my introversion. I think it's wonderful what you are doing on this channel. I think your nine year old self would be proud of you.

When the pandemic hit, and I walked out on the street, and no one was there...it was like a dream come true. I'd been praying for that for years.

Introversion is the mystical path. The inner-life is shunned in society, because most people don't have anything inside them. No inner-dialogue. No ability to reflect, and consequentely, no will of their own. Their thoughts are just other peoples thoughts.

[chad_mackinson]

Epic. Being alone without being lonely is awesome.

I was on vacation with my two introvert friends and they were so introvert that they actually never met each other, and barely met me, because each of us had completely different activities.

[artifundio]

This is now my favorite video of you Kyle!! Excellent, awesome and much needed introspection sharing 💕💕💕💕 I loved it! And I loved Iris Hernández's quote (hope you can confirm it later).
Thanks!!

Being an introvert is awesome (99% of the time). Depression and learning disabilities suck. I’m an introvert with hidden learning disabilities and this plays into my ever so ups and downs throughout my 38 years of living. If I did not have hidden learning disabilities, there is no doubt that I would have a high end job that would help me bury my head into my work and my life would be more fulfilled. All my jobs I’ve ever had, it’s the same thing where people that have the high end jobs were extroverts that did not put a whole lot of effort into their jobs and then would look at me knowing that I would try harder and could not understand the job like they could and then on top of it I was introverted so then it was “man you are one weird person”. I do like to talk to people sometimes, but a lot of times with most people I’m not good because my learning disabilities come into play. Short term memory issues play a part in that. So if people get short with me or I can tell they don’t like me because of something I said or am to quite - then I sometimes get depressed. So now The last 3 years I would say where I’ve learned about there is a thing about being by yourself gives you energy there’s nothing wrong with me on that part. I’ve isolated myself from everyone which is both great and bad — mostly great though. I can’t get hurt this way. But depression does come in every once in a while still. One week life will be great and then the next day I’m like “what’s the point of life”. I think life will be more difficult the older I get.
