In this episode of The Creative Introvert podcast I explain what the introvert’s dilemma is – and how to deal with it.
Part of being a functioning human in society does require… other people.
That’s the introvert dilemma I’m talking about.
People!
This podcast episode is all about how introverts do indeed need other people – not that we simply tolerate others, not that we do our best to live alongside our fellow sapiens: but that we actually NEED the company of others and the support, input and inspiration that we can ONLY get from other people.
