Therapy center for French people

I'm an introvert...and that's OK!

"For a long time, I thought introversion was a flaw. That I had to talk more, go out more, love crowds... But over time, I've come to understand that my energy is recharged in quiet, that my strength lies in listening and reflecting." A thought heard in therapy and shared by many so-called introverts."

Being introverted: what if it were a strength?

In a society that values social ease, extroversion and spontaneity, being an introvert can sometimes seem like an obstacle. Perhaps you've already felt this pressure to be "more sociable", to talk more, to go out more often... as if your calm and reserve were a hindrance.

But introversion is neither a weakness nor a flaw. It's a way of being, a natural way of functioning that has many strengths.

Understanding introversion

Being introverted doesn't mean being shy or antisocial. Introversion is simply a different way of recharging your energy. Where an extrovert finds balance in being surrounded by others, you may need moments of solitude to recharge your batteries.

Some common traits of introverts :

  • You appreciate deep, authentic exchanges rather than superficial conversations.
  • You need time alone to refocus after intense social interaction.
  • You listen carefully and observe before speaking.
  • Your silence is not a void, but a space for reflection and feeling.

Accepting your introversion: a path to self-fulfilment

Instead of fighting against your nature, why not learn to accept it and turn it into a strength?

Value your qualities Your ability to listen attentively and think deeply is a valuable asset. You often bring a nuanced, thoughtful perspective to discussions.
Respect your need for solitude Give yourself time alone without feeling guilty. That's how you can recharge your batteries and bring out the best in yourself.
Surround yourself with the right people Being introverted doesn't mean being alone, but choosing quality relationships over quantity. Deep, sincere bonds count for more than the number of friends or outings.
Express yourself at your own pace : Just because you speak less loudly doesn't mean your voice matters less. Write, create and share your ideas in a way that suits you.

What if you turned your introversion into an asset?

Being an introvert also means having a rich inner life, a special sensitivity and an ability to connect deeply with oneself and with others.

So rather than trying to change who you are, why not celebrate what makes you unique?
