It's a common myth that introverts are drained by all people. I'm here to share that while the concept of an introvert’s need for recharge is well known, the reasons for energy drain and the ways we recharge are many and will definitely vary from one introvert to the next - and it's definitely not just being around people that is draining. In preparing for this episode, I asked many introverts what drained them and what energized them. Contrary to the myth, for many introverts, certain people, engaging conversations and situations are just the opposite: Energizing!
The important thing is to know yourself and what you need. Once you know what it is you need, you can build it into your weekly plan. Understanding what drains you and what energizes you can make you strong!
