Ep 252 - Socialising On Our Terms

This I believe is the right time for this episode for we introverts with festive season at its peak.   I explore how we socialise on our own terms during the high-energy, high expectation festive season. As an introvert myself, I've often faced misconceptions that I'm antisocial, shy or arrogant.    Apparently, introverts avoid people. We do not. It is about managing our social and emotional energy wisely. It is more about how societal pressures affect we introverts both at work and in family situations.   It is about respecting our own boundaries while giving ourselves the permission to enjoy social events meaningfully. It is about being discerning with invites using our personal selective socialisation blueprint.     *** Key Points ***   Understand and respect our boundaries with social invites. Communicating polite yet firm 'no' Set your intentions mindfully   *** Resources ***   Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.
