Your Needs Are Just as Important as Everyone Else’s
It’s not uncommon for highly sensitive introverts to put other people’s needs before their own. But this can have an unhelpful consequence.
Lauren is a twenty-something who is closer to thirty than she'd like to be; a copywriter; an aspiring novelist (currently awaiting publication); petrolhead and thalassophile. She offers her copywriting services freelance, and founded her business, The Art of Telling Stories, in 2016. An introvert, empath, and a highly sensitive person, Lauren has found solace in identifying as an INFJ personality type and is finally showing herself the same compassion she so readily shows others. She has a degree in psychology and constantly strives to understand herself and the people around her better, while trying to make her corner of the world a better, happier place. She lives in the UK and dreams of owning a country cottage by the seaside.

I’ve always struggled to fit in. I daresay most introverts have experienced the feeling of being an “outsider” more than once.
