Welcome back to the seventh episode of Don’t lose your balance. In today’s episode, I’d like to talk about loneliness, what it means for me and what the differences between being alone versus being lonely.
Every person has a different threshold and a need for being alone. By nature. Some people are extroverts. Others like myself are introverts. So what’s the difference? Well, Healthline.com defines extroverts as people who are the life of a party, and they have a very outgoing nature. They’re vibrant, and that vibrancy draws other people to them, they actually have a hard time turning away attention and they thrive off of that interaction.
On the opposite side of the spectrum are introverts. These people are typically described as being more reserved, they may engage in a multitude of social activities, but they need time away from others to actually recharge their batteries, and recharge that energy. I don’t believe I’m reserved, but I have learned to tame my filter a bit. But that is only most recently. I am opinionated, which at times has gotten me into trouble. People describe me as someone that doesn’t actually have a filter, I speak my mind. My online community has taught me to think before speaking. Clubhouse has taught me to be a better listener, a really good listener. My Facebook groups which I help and actively moderate, they have taught me to hit the pause button before commenting.
