For those with personality traits which can be classified as “introverted”, give them quiet chilled events, few people and less stimulating environments and they’re in their element.
I’m drawn to nature. I can spend hours by myself in a park, by a river, in a garden because the quiet and stillness that I find underneath trees and on river banks never fail to invoke wonder and contentedness within me.
For people with my personality traits, it means that we focus on internal feelings rather than seeking out external sources of stimulation. It doesn’t mean we’re shy, but more reticent.
With my quiet, reserved, and introspective way of being, the mask has been like my superpower. Not as a disguise but as a buffer. Behind the mask I can process some of the information I so readily take in from the environment and to do so in real time and discretely.
Suffice it to say, I’m joyfully wearing my mask—a.k.a. my superpower—though it’s now okay not to mask up.
Happy hump day! Can you believe it’s June already?!
Thanks you for reading!

I like wearing the mask too but now I’m usually the only one wearing one.

I can relate. I was the only one in my office —a true outlier—but the numbers are ticking up again so they reinforced mask wearing (go figure)

Yes, even amongst most of my friends, even old friends I’m mistaken for an extravert. It’s nice to know someone out there gets it. Cheers, peace to you.

Me too!!! And my friends will say “you’re not shy!” They equate being introverted to being shy. Good to e-meet a kindred spirit😊. Peace to you too. Cheers, Dee

Smiling in response to “always wearing masks”. Won’t we though?! Just that under the pandemic the mask is physical/can be seen 🙃
