Something I would have loved to know as an introverted kid would have been how to keep friends when you sometimes want to spend days or even a week or two without seeing anyone. Kids seem to need higher interaction to stay friendly and the low interaction I wanted usually meant keeping one or two friends I saw daily or keeping none at all because I’d see them once a week.

Comment on The Scurry Dance: Learning from Loving and Losing a Kitten by Jennifer

Jeanine-when you mentioned your loss this morning, I couldn’t speak myself because so much compassion for what you went through this week welled up…I lost a 16yr old dog just last August and 2 months later our 12-1/2 yr old dog was diagnosed with cancer. He underwent a splenectomy to remove a large mass, the result of which has given us the gift of another 7 months to love him. The cancer has spread and now it is a matter of time and monitoring him for signs of distress and the inevitable, heartbreaking decline. 2 things I wanted to share: I know I am the most mindful when I am with my stately old gentleman-dog, Sheamus….If I could bring the same mindfulness to my relationships, it would be truly amazing. I have realized that my pets live only in the moment and when I am connecting with them, I do the same. Scurry’s final days with you and the love and security you surrounded her with, was all she needed. She wasn’t thinking back to last week or last month …she was loving, trusting, and depending on you, in those beautiful and intimate moments, and you gave her the wonderful gift of your attention and time. She took it all in and has it with her forever and always now. In my heartbreak last summer when I lost Mackie, I realized that caring for him during his last illness and final, heart-wrenching decline, was my gift back to him for the many years of unwavering loyalty and unconditional love he embodied for me. I don’t know cats the way I know dogs, but I do understand the deep well of sadness that opens up when they leave us. Sending you love and understanding as you grieve for dear sweet Scurry. -Jenn

First, I am so sorry you lost such a sweetheart. Our pets are our friends and family.
Second… I loved the last two sentences… Where in my life can I open to and receive love with ease? How can I reach out more determinedly to the understated people in my life and make the extra effort to love them?
Thank you ~ Waynette

[…] does this relate to introversion? Remember the theme of introverts feeling overlooked? Introverts also have a tendency to hoe it alone and figure things out in our own minds. We are […]

I just read this post and so glad I did! I’m an introverted mom with a family full of extroverted, hyperactive boys/men. I’ve tried these same things but my extoverts have a hard time accepting that I could want time away from them :) I’ll have to share with them!
