I'm an introvert living with depression...
Ойын-сауық
I was diagnosed with depression at 8 years old; I'm also an introvert. In our series on being an introvert with anxiety or depression (which you can watch here: bit.ly/3JdiPtv ), clinical psychologist and MedCircle expert Dr. Ramani Durvasula explains these can look similar on the outside, but couldn't be more different. She also shares that the strategies for coping with anxiety or depression as an introvert can be more specialized for that personality type.
I can't wait to discuss this part of my mental health journey with you!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an introvert. It is not a character flaw that needs correcting, in itself it is simply a personality trait which makes you who you are

@@TarkMcCoy No Shark ! Personality disorders have nothing to do with being an introvert. Becoming an introvert is the direct cause of modern society, friend, family, coworkers, etc; to inflict him pain/suffering that drove him to become an introvert. I am a good balance of both with 3 personality disorders. 🤣🥴😁

I've had almost that exact conversation with my fiancee about needing time to prepare for a social event, and if something comes up out of nowhere it's really stressful for me. I have that same kind of guilt for not participating in social events as much as I could. It's honestly great to hear someone who has that same experience as me, I don't feel like I hear people talking about that, it's good to be reminded I'm not alone.

There's a lot of us. I'm not the type who likes the spotlight.. I'm ok with a bunch of people but it took a long time to feel that way. I think as people grow oIder and wiser, you give less of a damn what people think of you 😄. I was always kind of shy. I had friends throughout my school years and college years but besides living with 4 other people in an apartment off campus. I usually always had just one friend. My bestie since 8th grade unfortunately took a jump onto the conspiracy theory and extremism side, and I can no longer relate to her.

I, too, am an introvert, but fortunately no a depressive. Having been raised in Europe by Europeans, I never felt any pressure to be outgoing until I moved to the Uk when I was a teen. Initially I tried to fit in, but after working in Europe in my 20s, I realised I needed to be me and not be a people pleaser.

I think the point Ely Jane is making is that in other countries of Europe there isn't such social and peer pressure to fit into prescribed social groups, that the individual is respected more not vilified as they can be here in the UK hence the high rates of bullying here, for example. I think maybe being an introvert in other parts of Europe doesn't have such a stigma attached to it and people are less judgey. I don't know, maybe this needs a research project. All I do know is that unfortunately when it comes to people, the longer I'm living in the UK, the less I'm liking it.

Your observation that extraversion is rewarded and introversion is viewed as something undesirable that needs changing, is so simple yet so profound. It totally is the reason why we introverts suffer so much psychologically. When you rid yourself of that notion that is when you become free. I wish I'd done it earlier in life. It happened for me in my late forties when I just didn't have the energy to pretend anymore and realised that if you act more sociable than you are then it keeps backfiring on you because your friends don't get why you don't want to be out every night of the week. I've been dropped because of this. So much better to just be yourself from the get go. Less pressure, more balance, more truth = more happiness. Great video Kyle, thank you 😊 🙏
Hi Kyle. Thank you for opening up and sharing your mental health journey. The more people realize they're not alone; the more likely they'll seek help if warranted. I'm a introvert but never had problems accepting myself because even as a very small child I knew that's who I am. All through school I never fit in with the popular or party crowd. I've always been a outsider. Now that I'm entering middle age I feel the need to socialize a little more but it's still limited. One thing that I've always said to myself is I don't want to be like other people. I'm me and if that means missing out on a lot of good times; I'm OK with that.

Being depressed is a huge struggle for people like me. I was depressed and lonely for 3 years now and no good things never happened to me for once. Nothing. I do have families and friends that I always care about honestly. But there is one special puzzle piece that I need in my life which is still out there for me and it's really hard to find. Most artists, gamers and everyone else has one but not me. it's just not fair these days for me. They have a special puzzle piece in their life everyday but not me. I still don't know what the last puzzle piece means for me and trying to solve it. Right now, nothing turn up for me yet. I'm just a unhappy artist and gamer online who is trying to do better for myself and still trying so hard to do so. No good things never happened to me when your lonely. I still enjoy helping people and my friends today.😞

I am moderately introverted, and have dysthymia and generalised anxiety. What I have found supportive is being in tune with the patterns of my mind and body, and practising self-compassion as much as possible. I also find it helpful to extend compassion and kindness towards other people (friends, family, strangers, animals). Even if I’m alone, lonely and feeling lousy and lethargic, I can still wish people well silently, because they are human beings like me and may be going through known and unknown hardships like me. When I do that, there’s often a feeling of release and peace in my mind and body, and a sense of connectedness.

When the pandemic hit, and I walked out on the street, and no one was there...it was like a dream come true. I'd been praying for that for years. Introversion is the mystical path. The inner-life is shunned in society, because most people don't have anything inside them. No inner-dialogue. No ability to reflect, and consequentely, no will of their own. Their thoughts are just other peoples thoughts.
Very insightful and helpful, thanks Kyle!
Hey Kyle. I've been an extrovert since I can remember, however since beginning trauma therapy for narcissistic abuse I've become an introvert; the pandemic enables it. Thank you for a face-to-face chat with a healthy person (you!). I look forward to meeting people like you when I begin stepping back out into society.
Much respect Kyle.
I am an introvert with anxiety and you have really helped me to understand myself, thankyou, much love
Being an introvert is awesome (99% of the time). Depression and learning disabilities suck. I’m an introvert with hidden learning disabilities and this plays into my ever so ups and downs throughout my 38 years of living. If I did not have hidden learning disabilities, there is no doubt that I would have a high end job that would help me bury my head into my work and my life would be more fulfilled. All my jobs I’ve ever had, it’s the same thing where people that have the high end jobs were extroverts that did not put a whole lot of effort into their jobs and then would look at me knowing that I would try harder and could not understand the job like they could and then on top of it I was introverted so then it was “man you are one weird person”. I do like to talk to people sometimes, but a lot of times with most people I’m not good because my learning disabilities come into play. Short term memory issues play a part in that. So if people get short with me or I can tell they don’t like me because of something I said or am to quite - then I sometimes get depressed. So now The last 3 years I would say where I’ve learned about there is a thing about being by yourself gives you energy there’s nothing wrong with me on that part. I’ve isolated myself from everyone which is both great and bad - mostly great though. I can’t get hurt this way. But depression does come in every once in a while still. One week life will be great and then the next day I’m like “what’s the point of life”. I think life will be more difficult the older I get.
Well said in every aspect! Thank you and I love your humour!!! ;)
Excellent show!!! I needed to hear this! You are the same as I am.

With what Irene mentioned it's kind of like how Introversion is like your skin and anxiety is the outfit you wear. I myself am an Ambivert and can relate to both introvert and extrovert. Solitude and quiet (subject due to change depending on individuals) is needed but not required everytime while socializing personally on a one on one basis to large groups of 35-100 is invigorating (nerve wracking at times) but thoroughly enjoyed! I have "manned the fort" on solo projects while also running groups of up to 17 for immediate consultation and direction. Currently I'm expanding my profile and projects to a larger scale while starting to take on individuals clients personally.

If you're rich and can hire personal Chef and a Trainer ( or at least buying workout/meal plans from trustworthy athletes ), then yeah I guess it would help. Otherwise it's a hassle and time consuming as healthy meals take way more time to prep and exercise takes time too, but not only that you also need to eat more daily which means more cooking too, otherwise the workout is useless as eating is more important to gain mass + meal plan and workout research ( learning about Omega 3/6 balances, muscle related stuff such as hypertrophy, macros and so on ). Been doing that for around a year after I quit junk food, alcohol and smoking, it very slowly got more and more tiring also my depression became worse and job performance too ( working with tight deadlines ), it takes lots of effort to do that and it won't make things better if you're not super disciplined to begin with and especially if you used to procrastinate a lot in the past. It can also be of course rewarding, but it doesn't always outweigh the labor. Depression is just way too complicated and different for everyone which might require different treatment, for some ppl "dopamine detox", cold showers, meditation works for example.
Kyle is handsome with or without gray hair. I'm 39 and have a fair amount myself. You can't stop time! I've been battling depression since my mid teens and it's been bad lately.

Growing up in a large extroverted family, and being an introverted child, I learned to protect my own energy by finding a quiet space in the garden to read books and spend time in nature. My extroverted family was concerned about my nature, however, being an intravert helped me excelling in my studies and became a health professional. As an adult, I have learned to put heathy boundaries to protect my energy and I let everyone know that I am perfectly well spending time on my own.

Thank you, Kyle. Being around (anxious) extroverts is exhausting😅
I remember in collage and during the first year in Uni - I tried so hard to "become" more extroverted - it ended up with me getting problem with social-anxiety and anxiety in general. It took me 3 years or so to 'fix' those problems....and after that, I simply accepted that I'm an introvert. (But that was also more easy to do after I'd learned that there was such a thing as extroverted and introverted "personalities"/personality traits....that wasn't something I knew anything about growing up - or had even heard of!). I'm probably a 'social introvert', since I have a handful of close friends which I have a deep connection with and that I enjoy socializing with. Even though I still spend most of my time alone - which I need. And crave after any social gathering. That is - I have finally learned about the concepts and also simply 'accepted' who I am now.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video! Now I can understand and accept myself better! "Introversion is my way" can be my new mantra to stop feeling guilty about it, haha!
I feel you. 💟
I enjoyed this discussion very much! Thank you! I always knew I was introverted, but as I began to heal from childhood abuse, I began to wonder if I would have had a bit more extroversion in my character. I love being alone, and I've been alone for yeeears without human contact until recently (have a boyfriend now, ooo lala). I couldn't imagine doing what you do for Med Circle, Kyle, very open brave and extroverted IMO! I don't have public social media, not even LinkedIn. I hate the idea of people staring at me. Ayooo to everyone who has the fun bag mix of social anxiety, CPTSD, and introversion! Let's take a selfie! But seriously if you grew up with abusive parents, what came first: the chicken or the egg? the introversion or the coping mechanism? I used to hide in my closet to avoid the yelling, fighting, and abuse. I'd say my home is like one big closet really. Just food for thought.

The way I was finally able to even begin accepting myself was finding a woman who accepted me first. I met someone who truly and fully accepted all parts of me. I am definitely an introvert. I also have BPD. I assumed I would die alone, never having anyone who made me feel less alone. The journey and work is still my own, but she lit that spark that I’m not horrible and broken. I am marrying this woman in 5 days! There is always hope that any day, any time, your life can completely and radically change for the better. I used to live in mental hospitals. There is hope.
Introversion is where I find true peace, my true atmosphere of calm and rest. I don’t mind telling people at work I am not going to a party because I need to spend that night getting regenerated alone because I am on empty and I am a introvert. Extroverts get recharged around people where I as an introvert get depleted being around others for hours . I look after 36 residents who mostly have dementia or Alzheimer’s so as a introvert at the end of my work cycle I need a lot of alone time. I never feel guilty telling people I need alone time to stay healthy for me. It is my medicine to keep me healthy! Thanks for your video! Keep up the excellent work! And happy valentines coming up.

You're right. But people around don't think the way you do. My whole life I have been again and again pointed out that I am an introvert, quiet, not very social, bad at communication, and I felt bad overall because of it. My total opposite side is my anger and rage, and losing it all because of the temper. People ask me to be loud and rough, but they don't understand I become angry and mad when I speak loudly. Anyway, this channel is a big relief. Thank you.
I grew up with a very extroverted (and narcissistic) father who would simply force my brother & I into social situations...as if that changes a person, lol. He wasn't "mean" about it. He just didn't understand...thought that being super talkative and out there was the "right" way I guess.

I identify fully Kyle with my on introversion because I found it has saved me over the years. Socially being forced to be more sociable than is natural for me is like being in a battle between fighter planes where I am caught in total flak finding myself wanted to bat sensations away. I can be a better version of myself when I can take a break from people because and when I feel slammed.
I’m an big introvert (INFJ), but hiding it because 95% of people I see think something is wrong with me on a low-key way. So I try to fit in and hide it and make excuses like I’m sick or some bs excuse because just needing alone time is unthinkable in today world
Maybe I’m projecting, cause I’m going through a rough period again, and not to sound rude or anything but ohhh Kyle you look worn and depressed in this, sending you love, light and support 🥺💌
Introvert too!!! Wish I would have met you before our grays came out!
Society thinks the extroverts lead and do all the paving, but it takes the humbleness and gifts of introverts to compliment the world. Being an introvert is a positive trait. What if everyone was extroverted? The world would be more chaotic than it is now. Introverts have beautiful gifts to give to others.
I really liked this. 💯
Thanks for sharing your experience , I would like to know from an expert or others, if is possible to stop being introverted, or to change from introvert to introvert-extrovert type. I say this because I used to identify as an introvert but lately I have been more outgoing , without this necesarily draining me ( at least not always) and be able to socialize in bars, clubs, etc without much anxiety while before this wasn't the case.

You probably have learned how to take care of yourself, over the years, so that now you can socialize and not experience the anxiety before nor the exhaustion after. That's great that you have found a nice balance while still being your natural self.
Honestly is the best policy in mental health !!
lmao Kyle, I need a personal channel now because you're so witty & humorous aside from the great mind.
It is so draining traveling with an extrovrt.
You look great with great hair ! ❤️
