Your extroverted friends do not intend not to support you… they are just less likely to understand why you don’t want the same things as they do. Understandable as most of the messages we receive from various media are about wanting/needing to “have it all”… even though few people know what “having it all” means or would even look like or what they would do if they had it.
Your doing what is best for you and that is all that matters. Well done! Though yes it would be nice if your friends could see that.
Have you read the book ‘Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking’ by Susan Cain?
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
