Pet loss can be hard for anyone, but if you’re an introvert or highly sensitive person, it may be even more difficult. Here’s why, plus advice to cope.

I’ve found that when I enjoy the activity we’re doing, socializing becomes less draining and anxiety-provoking.

I surprised myself by seeing a person who’s pretty cool to hang out with.

I enjoy trying new things — but at the same time, I also have crippling anxiety around people.

Introverts with ADHD have many strengths, such as creativity, empathy, and a mind driven to learn and explore new things.

Our self-esteem might feel like something we can’t control — but it’s actually something we have a lot of power over.

Teachers should recognize that introverted students have a lot of strengths and don’t need to be “fixed.”

The more authentic we are in our introversion, the calmer we will feel.

You can’t control all the noise and people and chaos, but you can pick up a knitting needle or an Xbox controller. 

The world can feel overwhelming, but you deserve time for yourself, even when it seems like you don’t have time to spare.
